ID2026 Export Issues
Exporting PDFs and IDML files in ID2026 is taking far longer than it does to do the same export in 2025, and I'm losing almost all of the hyperlinks on parent pages when exporting to IDML.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I have a document that I created in ID 2025. I opened it in ID 2026, but my client is still working in ID 2025, so I wanted to supply them with a Print PDF for a stable reference document and an IDML file so that they could open it in ID 2025.
In ID 2026, save to IDML takes 93. In ID 2025, it takes 2 seconds.
The PDF export issue seems to have resolved itself. I may have missed that it was exporting as an interactive PDF, so I'll keep an eye on that and report back if it starts misbehaving.I've attached the 2026 INDD file and the 2025 INDD file that I generated from the 2026 IDML file. You will notice when comparing the hyperlinks in the 2026 INDD file and the 2025 INDD file that the hyperlinks on the JL parent page are almost all broken in the 2025 file.
