Hyperlinks issue on every linked page

[CreativeRaven]

I create a digital publication every few months for one of my clients. Since I upgraded to V2,  the hyperlinks being flagged are "Hyperlink to Invalid Page", in which the Hyperlink is TO a particular page, there is no other user input.  Ever single one.  Can someone please provide some guidance here... 

I need to export this as a PDF with clickable links, sooner rather than later!

 

Affinity Publisher 2.0.4, Mac Ventura 13.2.1

Double-clicking the error message should take you to the location of the problem, I think. 

You might also look at the Anchors panel and the Hyperlinks panel. 

If you can recreate the problem in a .afpub file that you can share with us, that might also help with the diagnosis.

Also, did you originate all this text in this document, or was it imported from somewhere else?

I do double click, and it takes me to the page (s) where the only link is from one page to the next.  I thought I did all these page links the same, and they look the same, but some are ok and some are "invalid".  Unfortunately the file is much too large to upload at this time....but you have give me some good info.

Check the hyperlinks for spaces either in the link, leading or trailing.

What puzzles me is that it isn't inserted links, it is page numbers selected from a dropdown...

Hi @CreativeRaven,

Welcome to the Affinity Forums

I've not seen this occur previously for Hyperlinks to other pages in your document - therefore I'd like to request a copy of your .afpub file for further testing.

Can you please upload this file to the below link for me?

Once uploaded, please reply here to let me know. Many thanks in advance!

I had already repaired most of them, but found two (33 and 34)  still causing problems. When I check the hyperlinked page seems to be accurate.  Uploaded.

Many thanks for providing that for me!

I can see that both of these hyperlinks link to Page 0, hence the error -

I'm not 100% certain of what caused the file to be in this state, but changing these through the Window > References > Hyperlink Studio should resolve these issues for you

You have URL-type hyperlinks with errors. For example, the first one that shows up in the Hyperlinks panel when I look at it has a blank at the end. For another example, you have a mailto link with a space after the ":" that should not be there.

Remove all the extraneous spaces and see if it works better.

Wow that did it Walt!  I looked and looked over those links and missed at least two preceding spaces in the URL. SMH...Thank you so much for that extremely useful feedback.

You're welcome. Glad it worked
