4. Select the file that corresponds to the file name in the Find dialog box title bar, and then click Open (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS). If all of the other missing graphics are stored in the same folder, all of their links will be resolved immediately. If some graphics aren't found in the first folder you specified, you'll be asked for their folder locations until all are found. For this reason, you may want to advise customers to store all of their document's graphics in the same folder. To avoid 24 linking errors, pay attention to the exact filename and location InDesign is requesting. 5. Click the Update Link button ( of all linked graphics. ) to make sure the document uses the latest version Note: Links in multiple folders are relinked or updated when each folder is opened using the Relink command. Embedding and un-embedding placed graphics Customers have the option of embedding any linked graphics file in a document. As a service provider you may want to discourage this practice because it makes troubleshooting more difficult, and increases InDesign file sizes by the size of each embedded file. For these reasons, graphics placed into InDesign are linked by default. Fortunately for service providers, embedded files are easy to manage in InDesign CS. When you embed a linked graphic, the filename remains in the Links palette, marked by the Embedded icon ( ). In addition, InDesign CS remembers the graphic's original location and lets you unembed it (meaning you can relink the embedded graphic to an externally stored file, if one is available). Note that unembedding is only available for placed graphics; pasted graphics can't be unembedded. You may want to remind customers that placing graphics generally provides more flexibility and higher quality than pasting graphics. (There are a few cases where pasting can be desirable, such as pasting Adobe Illustrator paths into Adobe InDesign for further editing. However, customers do need to be aware that pasting doesn't allow a graphic to be updated from an external file.) When you or a customer preflights a file that contains embedded graphics, the original graphic name is replaced with (Embedded), and the graphic's page and type are still listed. If you want to see the embedded graphic's filename, cancel out of the Preflight dialog box and open the Links palette. To unembed a graphic: 1. In the Links palette, select a graphic marked by the Embedded icon ( ). 2. From the Links palette menu, choose Unembed File. 3. You'll be asked to link to the original file or to a new file. Click Yes to link to the original file or click No to link to a different file. (If you relink to a different file, make sure it works properly as a replacement for the formerly embedded graphic.)
