Relink to Folder
To quickly relink graphics to graphics with the same name, but in a dierent 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
e Relink to Folder dialog includes an option to retain the original lename, 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.
Embedded artwork
Support artwork is usually linked in InDesign files. However, you may
find that a customer has embedded artwork in the file rather than
linking to it, and has not supplied a copy of the original graphic. (To
embed an image, select it, and then choose Embed File from the Links
panel menu.) When you preflight a file that contains embedded
graphics, the original graphic name is represented by “(Embedded)”, but
the graphic’s page and type are still listed. The Links panel, however,
lists the graphic’s original name. While embedding usually doesn’t
cause problems in imaging, it increases the file size of the InDesign
document, and it makes it more challenging to edit the artwork. The
artwork must be unembedded in order to be edited in an external
application such as Photoshop or Illustrator.
Select the name of the link in the Links panel, and choose Unembed
File from the panel menu. You’ll be asked if you want to link to the
original file; click No (because you don’t have the original file) and
navigate to the folder where you’d like to save the unembedded file.
InDesign extracts the embedded art, saves an external file with the
correct name, and updates the link to the newly created file. You can
now edit the graphic as necessary. Note that the result is identical to the
original placed graphic before embeddingthere is no change in
