Hyperlink appearance options
The options determine the appearance of the hyperlink or cross-reference source in the exported PDF or SWF file.
These appearance options are also displayed in the InDesign document if you choose View > Extras > Show Hyperlinks.
Character Style Choose a character style to apply to the hyperlink source. By default, InDesign applies the Hyperlink
style to the selected text or object. For text, you can easily select a different style from the Style drop-down in the New
Hyperlink dialog box. For a non-text object, InDesign applies a design time visual identifier to the links – a dotted line
around the object with the color inherited from layer color.
