  Hey all
  
  I was wondering if there is a script that can create all the hyperlinks from URLs in a document at once.. I’m thinking with this possible flow:
  
  1- run a query (maybe GREP?) on all document looking for all words starting with ( “https://” & “https://”) and ending with “space” after..
  2- Convert the results to hyperlinks and give it a character style
  
  is there any thing like this? it would save a ton of time doing this repetitive work
  
  in addition, is there some sort of plugin that would give me the option to Shorten my links with some services: (goo.gl, is.gd, bit.ly) ect?
  
  Thanks a million

  The best tool I know of is Style Utilities plugin from InTools – it allows you to quickly make hyperlinks from all URLs at once. It’s not free, but worth it if you have to do lots of URLs. I use it regularly and it is more intelligent than the other URL to Hyperlink functions because even if you have used discretionary line-breaks to control the line endings, it still captures the entire URL.
  
  As for shortening them, that I have not tried, because none of my publishers would want to use shortened URLs in their documents.
