InDesign CC - hyperlinks broken when exported to PDF (Acrobat) format

Hi all

I created a PDF from Indesign CC (9.2.1 x 64), but when I have a PDF of the document, a number of hyperlinks (not all) appear broken when opened in Acrobat Pro XI. These hyperlinks direct the browser to the general site (i.e. a "this page cannot be found" page on www.nytimes.com) but not to the specific article that the hyperlink points to. This problem occurs if I use another PDF reader, but unfortunately this PDF file will be sent to a wide audience, which mostly uses Acrobat.

Does anyone know a solution to this problem? I've read up and looks like it was supposed to be resolved in this version of InDesign, but it obviously isn't.

Thanks in advance

Hello world

If, by some stroke of luck, I managed to get by myself.

I noticed that as the link was opening Acrobat, the browser was temporarily (for about half a second) adding a %20 at the end of the broken links. After a Google search, I realized that it is because my broken links had a space at the end. While this space normally wouldn't (and don't have any importance when I was manually copying the link from indesign in the browser), Acrobat, seeing the space, he added the %20 and so evil re-routed address (there is a little info about it here Acrobat adding %20 to the pdf in iOS links). Anyway, I went through my paper and remove the space at the end of the any broken links and now everything works perfectly and I sent my document. Problem solved!

Thanks a lot for all your help! I really appreciate it!

    I am trying to export a small document to PDF using InDesign CC 2014, something I've done many times before, but it now says "unable to export the PDF file.

    There is no errors in the document (at least according to the preflight Panel) and the error does not say why InDesign doesn't have to export the PDF file.

    Does anyone have suggestions on what to check to find out what it is exactly that InDesign cannot or will not do?

  • Hypertext links to the URL changes when exporting to PDF

    I use InDesign CS6 to create a document with many links to URLS. I found that the conversion of INDD as PDF (Export to PDF) process is changing some special characters in the link, basically to break hyperlinks in the PDF file (for example, a symbol equation "=" AND the question mark symbol "?") BOTH converted to their html codes of character - 3D and % 3F, respectively - and the links are broken, "404 error".

  • Impossible to get to work when exporting to PDF page transitions

    Hi all

    I tried to apply page transitions to a document that I realized. I tried to apply the two side of the cover and push passes to each Board in the booklet but when I export to PDF does not work with either, I've seen full screen in Acrobat Reader DC, DC Acrobat and Foxit reader with no joy. With this in mind, I think it might be something to do with how I export as much research, that I've done was referenced InDesign CS6 was so different from what I look at in InDesign CC. Can anyone advise me as to what I can hurt?

    Thanks in advance

    You use file > export > Adobe PDF (Interactive) the Page Transitions defined from Document?

  • Colorful TIFF appears different color when exporting to PDF

    Hello world

    I'm having a problem with the Tiff feature in InDesign CC.

    I have a series of print drawings that use the same structure: a TIFF color in the background and a Duotone above this one PSD file.
    Most of these models work perfectly. However, for some reason any two of them show a radical change in the color of the background TIFF when I export them to PDF printing. Please note that this is not happening when you create a PDF "Interactive", or another type of file with "Print" PDF.

    Here is my file in InDesign:
    Screen Shot 2016-08-30 at 12.45.56 PM.png

    And here's what it becomes when you export to PDF:

    Screen Shot 2016-08-30 at 12.46.25 PM.png

    Any idea what the problem might be? I checked the source files in Photoshop and I see no difference between these and other pages that export without any problem. But I could be missing something.
    I tried to recreate the same design in a new file, but continues to be the same thing.

    Pointers welcome!

    Thank you very much!

  • Color lost when exporting to PDF

    When I export my (CC, version 20141) InDesign file to PDF (Acrobat Pro DC), text blocks lose their fill color. Another color in the text, tables, etc., is preserved. I tried to export a pdf and interactive pdf printing. The problem occurs regardless of the RGB or CMYK colors. Puzzled.

    My friend I tried ways of difference and I found something... It is not part of indesign, it is in the setting of PDF error that you applied. See the image (try to uncheck the option)

    Hope this helps you

  • Right side of placed images are cut when exporting to PDF

    Hi all

    I am a beginner still trying to wrap my mind about InDesign and all its features and have encountered a problem with export to PDF. On the right, 1-4 pixels are cut off! I think my problem may be related to what has been discussed in this thread:

    InDesign, problem of Image with PDF export... straight cut...

    But my question has nothing to do with Visio. I'm simply put PNG and JPG files that have already been created and stored locally on my computer. I found that the only way to solve this problem is to add a few columns of pixels of space white/empty in my images so that the straight line of frame in the images (created by Adobe Illustrator) appear.

    Having to change my images first before placing them in InDesign is obviously not the best or the right solution.

    Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this problem and how to fix? Maybe there's a setting somewhere for the picture frames that should be adjusted?

    You say that the border is the placed graphic? No, don't do that. Make the image as the image only, apply the border via the framework (and via an object style).

    I don't know why the gross pixel is truncated, could be an error in the workflow or a bug, it should not happen, but you must not include in the file anyway.

    When the files came from Illustrator, use HAVE or PDF/X-4, never no raster such as PNG, BMP or JPG image. If it is printed, text and vector will be printed with the maximum resolution of printers and the quality, raster images cannot be better than the resolution of the image. PNG also supports only RGB and print it not so good, because it would be a CMYK graphic with clear black.

  • Web images are blurred when exporting to PDF

    We constantly place web (72 dpi) images in InDesign presentation documents, then export the PDF file for our customers. However when the PDF file is exported it makes images to 72 dpi blurred. I tried all combinations to export the PDF file I can think is to say high quality printing, change of compression to zero, change of color of the images "Do not downsample", export to interactive PDF and change the resolution etc and it always seems to compress my images every time.

    Any ideas?

    Note: The only way I found it is to recreate the images in the form of 150ppi however need an another solution because they must be 72 dpi.

    Thank you

    Acrobat displays the default images to 96 DPI system.

    In Acrobat, go into preferences and under the Page display, you can insert a custom resolution that will probably solve your problem.

    Note that this is an individual setting, other computers may not have this together.

  • Color chart of model move when exported to PDF and read in Preview/GoodReader

    I tried for days find an answer to this issue, but have failed. You should also know that I am a self-taught user Adobe Creative Suite. I'm working on a Mac with CS6.

    I work for a small publisher that produces knitting books. The problem is this: our tech editor has created graphics in Illustrator using the color chart of model function. (These are graphic knit. Each square contains a shade of motif representing the knit stitch).

    I then place these cards in their format native .ai in an Indesign file and exporting to PDF. In Acrobat, the charts look fabulous. In the drive of the preview Mac and GoodReader, tables do this...

    Screen Shot 2013-12-10 at 11.40.59 AM.png

    ... the model color chart move around inside their places. Each of these points must be placed inside their places. First, when I resize the application framework, the nuances of the model move I have re-size of the frame. Any ideas on what could happen here?

    I tried to save the graphics as PDF files and putting those in the InDesign file. Does not help. Export diagrams as images (jpg or tif) works, but I need to make ridiculously high resolution/size for the quality of the vector image. I would rather put .ai files in the .indd file if possible.

    Try to use the file > object > expand on a copy of the original before making the PDF for placement.

  • Background settings lost come out wrong when exporting to PDF format

    I'm working on a door hanger 5 x 13 in InDesign with a. 125 "bleed on all sides. I did the front in Illustrator and brought in ID and I did the back completely to the identity card, since it is the heavy text.

    When I export it to PDF with purge and showing crop marks, crop marks see where color ends instead of. 125 "from the edge of the color.

    I keep double-checking ID documents and Illustrator, and I don't see anything wrong. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see what.

    Someone has to meet this problem before? Any thoughts on what I might be missing and how to fix it? Maybe ID handles differently than what I am used to bleed?

    When you export to PDF there is an option to set funds lost in the dialog box export or use document nosebleeds. Maybe you set them to 0 in the dialog box and have not checked the bleeding of document use?

  • Dissappearing page number when exporting to PDF

    Hello!

    I encountered a problem exporting an Indesign booklet in PDF format.

    I created a basic layout, with 2 masters.

    I've included page numbers (master) and this is where the problem begins.

    Page numbers are visible on each page in indesign.

    But when I export to PDF, the page numbers on the left of the booklet pages disappear.

    The numbers on the right pages are exactly where they are supposed to be.

    I don't know where to begin the search since I was rather inexperienced in Indesign.

    Anyone? Thank you!

  • White lines around png when exporting to PDF

    I'm having the problem that the imported images frequently have white around the outside of the image bars when the document is exported to PDF format. Looking at the two images currently affected, I noticed that they are two PNG images. I have fixed the image that was just rectangular turning them just in a JPEG file that I did not require the use of transparency, but the second object is another question, and I require the use of png transparency. These lines are not normally present when in indesign.

    Line is noticeable only in one place where a black rectangle together black background (only the upper part of the rectangle is visible on black as one side is covered and the other side is outside the crop area) so I don't know if it's the only spot, it happens.

    The line isn't even a straight white line!

    I had this problem before with lines that appear around objects that should not be there, as well as objects are not like they do in inDesign, any advice to solve this?

    I don't think you should use PNG for the files that will be printed. You would probably get better results if you saved your png as TIFF and replaced in the layout.

    In any case, it could be a consequence of the piquant effect and just one thing on the screen only when it prints very well.

    In Acrobat disable "Smooth line art" and "Smooth images" in the Page display preferences and the white lines could disappear.

    See if that helps
