InDesign

Repair links and images during preflight

The Links And Images area of the Preflight dialog box lists all links, embedded images, and placed InDesign files used in the document, including DCS and OPI links from linked EPS graphics. Images embedded in EPS graphics and placed InDesign files are not included as links in the preflight report. The preflight utility indicates missing or out-of-date links, and any RGB images (which may not separate properly unless color management is on and set up correctly).

Note: InDesign cannot detect RGB images embedded in placed EPS, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe PDF, FreeHand files, and placed .INDD files. For best results, verify color data for placed graphics in their original applications.
  1. To view only problem images, select Show Problems Only in the Links And Images area of the Preflight dialog box.
  2. To repair a link, do one of the following:

    • Select the problem image and click either Update or Relink.

    • Click Repair All.

  3. Locate the correct image files and click Open.
