Managing links and relinking imported files If your client has used the InDesign Package feature to organize and submit files, and you haven't altered the directory structure of the submitted folders or renamed any of the support files, all graphic links should be current. If, however, you have moved the support files, renamed the Links folder created during the Package process, or renamed the files themselves, you will have to refresh the links to support files. To update modified links, select one of the links in the Links panel which displays a yellow triangle alert (indicating it has been modified). Then, from the Links panel menu, choose Update All Links. All modified links will then be updated. Missing Graphics Modified Graphic Missing and Modified Graphics The red stop signs indicate links that are missing-they've been moved or renamed. The yellow triangle indicates a file that has been modifed since the InDesign file was last opened. To link to missing files, select the name of one missing graphic in the Links panel (Window > Links), click the Relink button on the bottom of the panel ( ), and navigate to the first of the missing files, and relink. If all missing files are stored in the same directory (and have not been renamed), all of them will be updated automatically. If the files are distributed over several direc- tories, you'll have to relink to one file in each directory; the remaining files in the directories will be updated automatically. If all links are current, but you wish to relink to different graphics with the same file names (for example, high-resolution versions of the currently linked low-resolution files), you can quickly relink to a folder containing the replacement graphics. Select the names of all the missing links in the Links panel, and then choose Relink to Folder from the Links panel menu. Navigate to the folder containing the correct files , and click the Choose button. Adobe Creative Suite 4 Printing Guide 24

Managing links and relinking imported files

altered the directory structure of the submitted folders or renamed any of the support files, all

Links folder created during the Package process, or renamed the files themselves, you will have
to refresh the links to support files.
To update modified links, select one of the links in the Links panel which displays a yellow
triangle alert (indicating it has been modified). °en, from the Links panel menu, choose Update
All Links. All modified links will then be updated.

tories, you’ll have to relink to one file in each directory; the remaining files in the directories will
be updated automatically.

relink to a folder containing the replacement graphics. Select the names of all the missing links
in the Links panel, and then choose Relink to Folder from the Links panel menu. Navigate to the
folder containing the correct files , and click the Choose button.
