In our publication we have a great number of advertisments that we receive as PDFs, PhotoShop and TIFF files. Our advertising department wants any web link in an ad to be live, that the reader can just click/tap on a link and take them to the web page. Is there a way that we can automate the creation of these links, either in InDesign or after the .folio files are created.
The first priority is to detect links in PDF files since these will be actual text.
The next priority is to detect links in bitmapped files, these will need some sort of OCR before it can scan for links.
Even if we get PDFs that have links built into them they are not detected from within InDesign.
So, any tools out there for this task, or should we hire another intern?
