InDesign CC 2017 crashes when adding hyperlinks

[wilmosz]

I use InDesign CC 2017 on macOS Sierra with the latest updates.

After adding about 45 hyperlinks InDesign crashes when I add a new url in the hyperlinks menu.

I already trashed my InDesign preferences and made a new document. It keeps crashing after adding 25+ hyperlinks.

Does anyone know what I can do to avoid this problem?

I am having the same issue! Can't find a solution.

I am having the same issue! Worked fined with the previous version of InDesign and now it's really a mess.

Can I use this for indesign 2015 on PC? Is there a patch for that? The moment I open the panel, it crashes.

Hey Monica,

thanks for this fix! I had crashes on opening the hyperlinks panel or making new links containing text like "§ 8.1" or ":". After running the copyPlugin-script it works fine. (Version 2017.0, Build 12.0.0.81)

Hi Monica,

I'm having this same problem with the hyperlinks. After following the steps on the troubleshooting page InDesign does not open at all.

Thanks,

This is happening to me all the time, on multiple documents!
