I am using the most current version of InDesign and Acrobat on Windows 10. To create an email hyperlink in InDesign I choose URL and type mailto: in front of the email address with no spaces. I am not using Shared Hyperlink Destination. When I export to PDF the email links don't work correctly. Instead of opening the email application, they try to open a web page. In InDesign, even though I specify URL and put mailto: in front of the email address when I re-open the Hyperlinks panel and choose Edit Hyperlink, the link has changed back to Email and the mailto text has disappeared. I have not made this change -- InDesign is doing it automatically behind my back. How can I create an email hyperlink in InDesign that actually works in the exported PDF?
