Hyperlink an image

scheife · 03-06-2013, 05:52 PM

Hi all.

I am trying to add a URL hyperlink image to an image from InDesign to an ePub. I am having troubles via the usual method from the Hyperlinks panel . . . it doesn't work in the ePub output, as it would in, say, a PDF. Any hints or coding workarounds would be appreciated.

It doesn't work in ADE.

Do you mean making the image clickable? It should be easy, and it's valid, but as JSWolf says Adobe-based readers just don't handle that, and it's a very annoying bug, if you ask me.

If you mean linking to an image (so that an image appears when you click on some link), that's not directly allowed, you have to create a wrapper HTML file containing the image, and add it to the spine.
