Hyperlinks display incorrect anchors in Hyperlink Properties

[Brian_J]

When I create hyperlinks to anchors, the hyperlinks work correctly in the exported PDF, but in the Publisher document, when I view the Hyperlink Properties, every hyperlink shows that it is linked to the first anchor in the Anchors Panel.

The issue occurs in multiple documents, including any new document I create.

To reproduce the issue:

1. Create a multi-page document.
2. Create two separate anchors in the document.
3. Create a hyperlink (on text or an object) to the anchor that appears second in the Anchors Panel.
4. After creating the hyperlink, bring up the Hyperlink Properties dialog again. The anchor displayed in the hyperlink properties is incorrect.

Thanks @walt.farrell. I searched the forum before posting, but that post didn’t appear in search results.

That was from a forum search everywhere for hyperlink anchor first

I did several searches that included ‘hyperlinks’ and ‘anchors’ with no luck. I often resort to searching these forums via Google, but didn’t this time. Sure would be nice if the forums search functionality could be improved at some point.

@Brian_J Have you noticed this issue causing other degradation to your files or is it just annoying? I'm facing the same issue 😐

I haven’t noticed anything else getting screwed up in files beyond what I described in my original post. It’s a hassle if I need to review anchor hyperlinks, but nothing more than that.
