    I have created many URL’s in my book. While in indesign CC 2015, I can go to the destination hyperlink. After exporting and sending to ibooks, Clicking on the URL does nothing. This does not happen on my other 17 books.

    John, this is working, but 661 MB for an EPUB > sure?

    Please provide also one page as idml with a link and answer my question, if the links won’t work on iBooks iPad/iPhone or on your Mac.

    Thanks

    John, first I’m not able to open the 661 epub in iBooks on my Mac. So, this is surely not good.
    Second, if I crack up your file with BBedit and search for a link, I found something like:

    <p class="Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-1"><span id="_idTextSpan360" class="Hyperlink CharOverride-6" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;">https://www.campdubois.com/?</span></p>
    </div>
    

    But it should be something like:

     https://www.campdubois.com 
    

    That means: You have no real hyperlinks!

    Kai, If I right click on the URL (In Indesign)and click go to destination, it goes there. After I export and go to ibooks, the URL is there but clicking on it does nothing. I have 17 other books and none of them have a problem. Hope this helps.

    Sadly no. If I inspect the code in the EPUB, the hyperlink is missing. It seems also, as the hyperlink is a bit transparent? So to find the error, a idml with ONE page is needed.

    John, I’ve no idea (for the moment) what’s going wrong here. The hyperlink anchor is missing during the export in your document. If I copy a hyperlink from your doc into a fresh one > anchor is missing. BUT: If I create a hyperlink in a fresh doc and export to fixed layout or if I export your document to reflowable EPUB, everything is fine.

    Normally I would say, it’s a bug. In this case, I’m not sure, cause it works with a fresh doc.
