On the Insert tab, click Link or Hyperlink.Įither type the email address that you want in the E-mail address box, or select an email address in the Recently used e-mail addresses list.
In the message, select the text or picture that you want to display as the link. For example, a link such as mailto: is already addressed to your company's customer service representative.Īs you can see, you can format the link text (the words that people see and click on) to say whatever you want. When clicked, the link opens a blank message already addressed to a person, company, or any destination you choose. It then becomes a HTML email.You can include a return email link in the body of in your e-mail messages. To solve this glitch we need to change the destination to a URL instead of Mail. However, when you export the file the email now reads with the %40 instead of and so is a broken link. When you create a New Hyperlink for email, the email address is automatically generated in the panel. However, the symbol sometimes changes to %40 when exported to certain apps. When you want to link an address you do it in the same way as the other links through the Hyperlink Panel. The last glitch with Hyperlinks can involve email addresses. This can be incredibly tedious, so I recommend you leave all internal links to the very last job of the project, so you only have to do it once.
You have to return to the Hyperlink Panel and select the new page number. So, even though you want your link to be to the text on page 14, for example, page 14 is now page 15 or wherever you moved it to. These are destination links and if you move a page or add a page, the destination link remains the same for that particular page. It will place either a Green or Red dot beside the link. When you create a hyperlink within the Hyperlink Panel, if you are connected to WiFi or the internet, InDesign will go off and check your links for you. However, InDesign has a fantastic solution for this.
It all depends on how many links you have. This is where things can get a little tricky. Re-export as an Interactive PDF, remembering to check the Hyperlinks box at the bottom of the dialogue panel and hopefully, all are now working correctly. Select Interactive from the dropdown menu. Return to your InDesign file and check the top right corner. So your Hyperlinks not working could simply be that you are in the wrong layout selection. You can also make sure that your URLs are active within the Hyperlinks Panel. You can add hyperlinks anywhere within your document but if you export an Interactive PDF any URLs or email addresses will automatically activate as links in your PDF.
If you want your PDF export to include hyperlinks then Interactive is the way to go. They all have different functionality and it’s important we select the correct one for the job at hand.
