Incorrect replacement of special characters in hyperlinks while exporting to interactive PDF
In InDesign, the special characters in hyperlinks are converted while exporting as interactive PDF differently depending on the platform (Windows or Mac) and the type of hyperlink and are thus made unusable.
If the hyperlink replaces a text without further intervention in the document, special Characters are sometimes incorrectly replaced.
The replacement is different depending on how the hyperlink is used in the document:
- text that is a hyperlink
- Assigned hyperlink to a text
- button
In addition, Mac and Windows export result in further differences.
So far I only have tested the letters äüö, but cannot rule out the possibility that other special characters will be converted incorrectly.
So it doesn't make sense.
Please convert this different handling to a functioning one in all environments.
See attached PDF for the Links made on Mac.
Unfortunately i can't upload the Indesign file for you to test this issue.

Two screenshots of the produced links in the final PDF Document.
First - If i set the hyperlink on the Text
