Remove all Hyperlinks within a Set

  • Remove all Hyperlinks within a Set

    Posted by Corbin Steinmuller on August 28, 2024 at 11:25 pm

    I’ve created a Set with hyperlinks, I’ve decided i want to adjust how i format them but now i have hyperlinks across over 500 pages that are saved to the relative file path for each page.

    I can’t just create a new set because the hyperlinks are now part of the page files, but currently i only see deleting the hyperlinks page by page as my option to remove all the links on pages within my Set.

    I’ve also tried using the links tab to select all and delete but the links tab only show links for the page i am looking at not the entire set

    Is there a simple workflow i have missed to remove all the links from any pages within my set?

    Cheers

    My current work-around was to combine all my individual worksheets into a new document.
    *be sure to use filename as Page label for later*

    This pulled all the hyperlinks into one place allowing my to select all and delete from the Links tab.

    I then extracted the document and used the *Page Label* to save the file as.

    Now i can start again without hyperlinks.
    If anyone has better solotuion i’m be interested to know it, thankyou

    Run a Batch Hyperlink on the individual pages in the folder and change the appearance properties.

    Welcome to the community @corbin

    If you run the Batch Hyperlink it should replace the old ones when it creates all the new links. That’s one thing to try. I would leave all the pages in a single PDF, update all the page labels, and then run the Batch Hyperlink. Be sure to update the appearance of the hyperlinks in the Options before you place them. Once you have it all set up correctly you can extract pages to individual PDFs. I would always keep the original combined file with all the links to fall back on if needed.
