Hi All,

InDesign CC 2017 keeps crashing on me whenever I try to create a new hyperlink to anything. I already have about 20 hyperlinks made, and am still able to make them in other documents. Any suggestions on what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Maggie

If it only happens in this document, save the file as IDML and reopen.

If it happens in every document you test, try restoring your InDesign preferences:

Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences

I tried saving it as an IDML, and also back to an INDD from that document - both still crashed.

I also reinstalled indesign and reset preferences- same issue.

It's only this document.

Are these hyperlinks to text? Or to an object? Or both?

Hi Sushil,

I'm having the same problem with an InDesign 2015.4 document when I open in 2017, although I was able to open another InDesign 2015.4 document the other day and update the Hyperlinks.

I deleted my preferences, saved as an IDML. If I create a new document, then open the Hyperlinks panel I have no issues.

Running on macOS Sierra

I can send you the document. Just need your email address.

Hi,

I got the same problem.

Running: OSX Sierra, Indesign 2017

This happens in every document. When I try to change certain hyperlinks the program crashes. Not always but 3 out of 5 times.

Sometimes when I copy an URL into the hyperlink field, sometimes when I change URLs – always when I submit the change by pressing the return key …

I had to install InDesign CC (2015) in order to update my Hyperlinks. Hope there is a better solution going forward.

Hi 

I am having the same issue, I was able to add hyperlinks in a few places in the document but now everytime I try again to add more hyperlinks, the program shuts.

I am just on a trial program now, but it is newly installed on a Mac using Catalina and the InDesign is 15.0.3

Same issue here with both text and image hyperlinks. When I try to edit or add hyperlinks it crashes. Tried removing preferences without success. Have uninstalled 2017 and gone back to 2015 until this is resolved.

Hopefully these steps would help?

1. Open the InDesign CC 2017 file;

2. Package the InDesign CC 2017 file;

3. Open the IDML file within the package in InDesign CC 2015;

4. Open the hyperlink palette;

5. Delete any broken hyperlinks (this is where the error lies – broken hyperlinks which where used in previous InDesign CC 2015 files);

6. Save the file as an InDesign CC 2015 file;

7. Open the InDesign CC 2015 file in InDesign CC 2017;

8. Open the hyperlinks panel.

Hello Sushil,

I am facing a similar issue on Windows with Indesign CC. I tried to delete a hyperlink in an Indesign File. The app crashed, and now it crashes each time I try to open my file. What can I do? Can I send you the file?

Thank you very much,

Harold from France

I am having the same problem.  Every time I try to edit hyperlinks InDesign crashes.  The plugin seemed to work for Mac users.  Is there not a similar plugin for those of us working on PCs?
