Relink to Folder To quickly relink graphics to graphics with the same name, but in a different folder (for example, to substitute high-resolution images for low-resolution images), select the link names and choose Relink to Folder from the Links panel menu. If you need to link to a different file format with essentially the same name but a different extension (for example, Image.eps rather than Image.tif ), Relink to Folder contains an additional, helpful option. Relinking to Other File Types The Relink to Folder dialog includes an option to retain the original filename, but change the extension. By the way, you can use this option to relink to files whose names you've modified with added text: for example, if your original graphics were named with the convention Image.eps, but the revised graphics are named with an added ".r1" to indication a first-round revision (e.g., Image.r1.eps), you can set the Relink to Folder operation to link to graphics with an "r1.eps" extension. Note that you must use a dot separator in the name as in this example; other separators, such as an underscore or dash, will not be recognized by the Relink to Folder option for matching extensions (don't enter the first dot in the Match same filename field; InDesign assumes that there is an initial dot). If files have been completely renamed, you'll have to manually relink to those files one by one, since InDesign cannot automatically recognize them as replacements. Replacing FPO (For Position Only) images If you're using an OPI (Open Prepress Interface) workflow that swaps low-resolution images for high-resolution images, and the high-resolution images have the same names as the lowresolution images used by the designer, you can use the Relink to Folder method to link to the replacement files. Your OPI system vendor may also offer a plug-in for InDesign that facilitates this for you. But if you are replacing low-resolution FPO images scanned by the customer with high-resolution scans created in your shop, relinking won't achieve the desired result, because the low-resolution images are not derived from your high-resolution scans. InDesign retains any transformations (such as cropping, rotation, and scaling) when relinking, but if your scans are not identical in origin or dimensions to the designer's desktop scans, the position and scale of the images will likely be incorrect.

Relink to Folder
To quickly relink graphics
to graphics with the same
name, but in a different folder
(for example, to substitute
high-resolution images for
low-resolution images),
select the link names and
choose Relink to Folder from
the Links panel menu°
If you need to link to a different file format with essentially the same name but a different exten-
sion (for example,
Image.
eps
rather than
Image.
tif
), Relink to Folder contains an additional,
helpful option.
Relinking to Other File Types
The
Relink to Folder dialog includes an
option to retain the original filename,
but change the extension°
By the way, you can use this option to relink to files whose names you’ve modified with added
text: for example, if your original graphics were named with the convention
Image.eps
, but
the revised graphics are named with an added “.r1” to indication a first-round revision (e.g.,
Image.r1.eps
), you can set the Relink to Folder operation to link to graphics with an “r1.eps”
extension. Note that you must use a dot separator in the name as in this example; other sepa-
rators, such as an underscore or dash, will not be recognized by the Relink to Folder option
for matching extensions (don’t enter the first dot in the Match same filename field; InDesign
assumes that there is an initial dot).
If files have been completely renamed, you’ll have to manually relink to those files one by one,
since InDesign cannot automatically recognize them as replacements.
Replacing FPO (For Position Only) images
If you’re using an OPI (Open Prepress Interface) workflow that swaps low-resolution images
for high-resolution images, and the high-resolution images have the same names as the low-
resolution images used by the designer, you can use the Relink to Folder method to link to the
replacement files. Your OPI system vendor may also offer a plug-in for InDesign that facilitates
this for you.
But if you are replacing low-resolution FPO images scanned by the customer with high-resolu-
tion scans created in your shop, relinking won’t achieve the desired result, because the low-reso-
lution images are not derived from your high-resolution scans. InDesign retains any transforma-
tions (such as cropping, rotation, and scaling) when relinking, but if your scans are not identical
in origin or dimensions to the designer’s desktop scans, the position and scale of the images will
likely be incorrect.
