Adjusting frame to image - linked images

hi, I have a bunch of images inserted in indesign, linked from an eps file. I have modified the images in illutrator and now updating links I have to modify the frames because the graphics are longer and they don't fit the image frame.
I can go one by one and do "adjust frame to image" but, is there a way to do this automatically for all the links? There are actually all linked to the same image... please help!
thank you

Hi John,
I have one image in each of 100 spreads, and it is not the only image in each spread. Is there a way to select them all? is it possible to do that from the links menu? they are all linked to the same image.
thanks!

  • Trying to link a thumbnail in one frame to a larger image in another frame GOLIVE 9...

    Hi.
    I am using Adobe Golive 9.
    I found a tutorial on the internet that allows you to create an image gallery with clickable thumbnails
    http://www.tutorialhero.com/click-48179-create_an_image_gallery_with_clickable_thumbnails. php
    However, the tutorial is designed for a page without frames.
    I want to be able to do this using frames.
    I want to link a thumbnail on a page in one frame to a larger image on another page, so that when your mouse is over the thumbnail,
    the larger version appears in the other frame.
    This is what my frames look like so you get an idea of what I'm trying to do
    And here is a picture of the thumbnail in the lower frame and the larger image in the frame above it.
    Could someone please give me STEP BY STEP instructions on how to do this?  I'm new to Golive, using version GOLIVE 9, and I know this can be accomplished using "Set Image URL"  but have no idea how to do it.
    Thank you for your help all.
    Chris.

    A link in one frame is designed to call another page into some other frame, not an image. You can't use SetImageUrl across different pages. You'd probably have to put each of your large images on a page, and call each page each time. I'm not sure why you're so set on using frames, they have many disadvantages.

  • Missing image links NOT alerted, and not in Links panel

    Don't know if this is a consequence of shifting my files and account across to a new Mac Pro, and re-configuring hard drive locations where linked image files are, but... I'm working on a document that spanned systems - finally coming to completion, and I'm writing the print PDF and found this problem.
    InDesign CC 9.2.1 running on Mavericks 10.9.2 is NOT indicating missing links images in the Links panel. In fact it's not indicating the image on the page is even in the document - it doesn't appear in the Links panel, even though I see the image on the page.
    I noticed this when proof checking a high res print PDF, and the image looked low-res. Odd as it shouldn't be.  Went back to InDesign file to interrogate the image, and found when I clicked on it, it wasn't highlighted in the Links panel - where I have the Warnings, dpi and other columns active so I can quickly check problems. It wasn't there at all. InDesign seems to be blind to the image.  When I right click the rogue images on the page I don't get the 'Graphics' section at the bottom of the drop down menu as I do with ok images.  I guess because InDesign doesn't even know it's there?
    Basically the image is visibly on the page, but InDesign doesn't appear to know about it.....  What gives?  I'm having to go through a long document now clicking on each image to check it's showing in the Links panel, then relinking every image that appears to be completely lost as far as InDesign is concerned not even knowing it's there.
    I have "Reset All Warning Dialogues". Made no difference.
    I worry about what other files are going to do this to me now and how much time will be wasted carefully checking validity of every image.

    Thanks Peter, maybe that's it although I don't recall using that method of putting the image in the layout. It's not something I would normally do. Its some months ago mind you, and the client did send me a bunch of images to consider using so I may have just dragged their images into my early layout while scamping up the first draft, and it may be these images that have been 'lost' by I.D.
    I normally create an image frame into which, using Edit - Place, select the image from a folder on the drive.
    Sometimes (because the preview of images in the ID Place dialogue is so slow to build) I view images in a Finder window and select from there, drag-and-drop into a pre-sized Image frame in I.D.
    I may have dragged an image direct from the Finder into Indesign not first creating an image frame for it to be placed into. But I thought I.D. would still note it as a Link asset, else why allow images of any kind into the layout if Links doesn't keep track of them for pre-press proofing use etc.
    The (in the end just 4) images that were completely unknown to InDesign were all in image frames, scaled and cropped within the frame bounds. So I wasn't to know months later that I may have drag-dropped the image files uncropped etc into ID then subsequently cropped them (if indeed I had).
    If you're suggesting this method of adding images quickly into I.D. won't list them in the Links panel, then I will make a conscious effort never to use that quick method again!

  • Set image link to a file which not yet exists

    Hi to all,
    I'm working with InDesignCS2 on Mac and Windows.
    Is it possible to set an image link to a file which does not exists yet.
    I have document with some JPG files in low resolution.
    Later, if the document layout is finished, I want to
    change the image links of the document to corresponding PSD files.
    E.g.
    The document is layouted with the imges image1.jpg, image2.jpg, image3.jpg.
    Now a want to change the links to corresponding PSD files image1.psd, image2.psd, image3.psd.
    BUT: the PSD file do no exist on the current working place.
    The images image1.psd, image2.psd, image3.psd exist on a destination working place.
    The document with the missing PSD links will be copied to the destination working place,
    in the some folder where the PSD file are placed.
    If I open the document on the destination working place the links set on the first
    working place should be satisfied now.
    Now it should be possible to print the document with the hires PSD images.
    My question:
    How can I set a link to an image which does not exist yet?
    The name, the path and the format are known.
    Please let me know, if you have an idea how to do that.
    Thanks.

    I might be proven wrong but I don't think you can link to a picture file that's missing.
    That would be an interesting feature actually - but probably too smart.
    What you could do instead is to use a dummy picture file to be replaced later in your production workflow.
    Something I did a long time ago was to create a text frame with the full path written in there.
    Then I was making a snapshot of this text frame.
    Then I was replacing the text frame by a picture frame - same size, position, etc.
    Then I was placing the snapshot within this picture frame...
    At the end I had a link to a temporary picture file that was displaying its full path to the layout artist - providing a valid link to a real picture, to be switched to the real one later in my customer production workflow.
    This is a classical case actually - and I'm sure there is dozens of solutions implemented out there . . .

  • Linked image question

    I create a monthly newsletter using InDesign CS3 (5.0.4) on a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 1.5 GHz Pentium M processor, 2 GB of RAM and Win XP/SP3.
    I collect information from various sources, some of which are Micorsoft Word documents with graphics, and I rarely have access to the separate graphic files.  I have MS Word 2002 SP3.
    I can Copy the graphics from Word into InDesign (when I right click on these images in Word, I do not have the Save Image As option).  However, when I do so, the image is not linked, it is embedded, whatever the size of the image (and despite the Help file statement regarding images under/over 48 kB).
    The problem I encounter is when I try to export (Cross Media Export/XHTML Dreamweaver) a specific newsletter article (Export/Selection), including those embedded graphics (I also create an web version of the newsletter), I receive a message that "...only linked images are exported."  I want to export the article including the graphics.
    After searching through the InDesign Help file, I found info that says to choose Window/Automation/Data Merge/Content Placement Options/Link Images to link and not embed images.  This I have done.
    After searching this forum, I found a posting that says Copy/Paste does not preserve links(from any application except another ID file).
    In the ID Help file is a statement that the Links panel can be used to change the status (linked or embedded) of a graphic.  However, when I open the Links panel after pasting an image into a frame, the only choices are Copy Links and Sort.  I concluded that the limited choices are a result of the lack of a separate graphics file.  Correct?
    I can Paste the image into InDesign, Export it as a JPG (to create a separate graphics file), delete the Pasted image from the ID file, and then Place the JPG file into the ID file.  That creates a linked image, which is included with the selected exported newsletter article.
    Is there a better (simpler) way to accomplish this task?

    There are a number of ways to get graphics out of Word/Powerpoint/Excel, but copy/paste into Indesign is the worst, mainly because you get only screen resolution.
    1) Place the Word file. You'll get embedded graphics again (most of them at least), but there's nothing to stop you from unembedding them (through the Links panel), and you'll get full resolution images, not screen previews.
    2) Print the Word file to PDF and then Place pages of the PDF.
    3) Save the Word file to a web page (as mentioned by Jay and Jeffrey in this thread).
    4) Open the Word file in OpenOffice, save in OO's native format, change the extension to .zip, and unzip the file (where you'll find your graphics in separate files).
    5) My personal favorite: Copy out of Word and paste into Illustrator or Photoshop. Michael mentioned Photoshop too, but it's important to use the right program depending on the content. If you have a bitmap (a photo, scan, or screen capture), paste it into Photoshop. If you have a vector graphic (a drawing consisting of lines and shapes, like a graph) or a combination of vector and bitmap, paste it into Illustrator. The reason this is my favorite is because it gives me a chance to fix the graphic. If nothing else, everything from Word comes in as RGB, but I also usually need to change the typeface and size the graphic appropriately.

  • CS3: PDF-Export Transparency Issue when Image-Links are missing

    I have a Layout with a transparent Frame on the top most Layer. For this Workflow-Step I do not have access to the original Image-Links, so I guess that all I see are the embedded Preview-Pictures and InDesign reports that all Object-Links are missing.
    If I export this Layout as JPG, the resulting JPG looks like the WYSIWYG in InDesign, which is suitable for this workflow-step. However when I export as pdf, the Frame is not transparent anymore. Instead it is filled with white color and covers the rest of the Layout. In Adobe Reader I can actually select the wrongly covered Picture at the border of the frame and copy&paste it somewhere and it looks fine.
    When I provide the original Frame-Picture and repair the missing Link in InDesign, PDF-Export works fine.
    I have installed & updated InDesign on a new Mac OS X 10.4.11, so all settings should be default.
    Transparency Blend Space is set to CMYK. I tried all default PDF-Export Profiles and tried a lot of different settings in the pdf-export dialogue including different PDF-File-Versions, Simulate Overprint on/off, Color-Conversion disabled, disabling Picture-Compression and much more. I also tried to Print a PS-File and then use the Distiller: same result.
    I use Adobe InDesign CS3 V 5.0.2 and tried Adobe Reader 8.1.2 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 to display.
    Any Ideas?

    Transparency flattening REQUIRES having access to the high-resolution images to get good results. One of the slogans I teach printers is "Fatten before you flatten." Meaning, replace the low-res images with high-res images.

  • How to adjust the position of an image in a full screen slideshow

    Hi I'am using a full screen slideshow composition on my page and muse is not letting me adjust the position of the image to the top, middle or bottom of the frame under the fill option when the image is selected in the slideshow.
    I also find it very buggy when previewing the page in a browser, some time it re-sizes the image only larger but never scales down proportionately, only on rare occasions. Why does this happen? 
    Can someone please help ASAP I need to get this site done by tomorrow.
    Thanks,

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    The effect you're looking for is 'Scale'
    In Keynote '09, 5.1.1 select the graphic.
    Click Inspector in the tool bar, Build Inspector (3rd icon from the left), (Build In and Build Out are both set to None for this step) Effect, Action, and then Scale.
    It rescales ('zooms') the selected item (image) up or down from 0% to 200%
    Clicking on the More Options button at the bottom opens a drawer to the left, and gives you more control over how the build occurs, whether they happen automatically, timed, or when you click, and re-order build steps.
    At 200%, double the original size, resolution could be a problem. There is a workaround, because it also scales smaller, down to 0%. So I would scale the graphic down 'small' as the first step to fit at the bottom, (even hide it behind a background-colored box) as you scale it down, and then at the end, scale up to full size to fill the screen at 'normal' resolution.
    In the attached example, I use a 'scale' up to go from 100% to 130% on a map, and use arrows and a flashing line to point out the road where a specific business is located with 12 steps. Some elements in my slides have been intentionally obscured. For simplicity, I've eliminated showing any steps but the initial title and the scale.

  • Repeating XML content from db and linked images

    I'm using XML to flow content from a database into an ID CS2 pub. There will be an .ai file associated with each record which will be placed into a tagged inline frame in each repeating element. I would like to store the .ai files in their own directory and have a field in the database that references the path to each specific file for each particular record.
    So...do I simply need to put a placeholder image in the layout and tag the path to the link with the same name as the db field referencing the image path? How do I tag the path to the linked image?
    On a related note, I would also to include a symbol with certain records (there's a field in the db that's a "yes-no" checkbox--if this box is checked for any record, I would like the symbol to appear on the page with that record).
    Hope I'm being clear here.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello bshannon,
    Thanks for your answer, I tried your suggestion but when I use URLDataSource I get the error message http 500 (in my original post I said that using URLDataSource the mail was sent but without the image... my mistake, I was getting this same error). I traced the error and I found that it is caused by a null pointer exception... let me explain
    This is the code for the jsp that returns the image:
    4        <jsp:useBean id="coverImage" class="com.mqm.struts.getImageAction" scope="session" />
    5       <%
    6           // Desired size of the image to return
    7           int heigth = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("heigth"));
    8          int width = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("width"));
    9          
    10          // Each item can have up to 6 images (ordered by id), this indicates wich of one we have to return
    11            int imageIndex = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("imageIndex"));
    12        byte[] imgData = coverImage.getItemImageAction(request.getParameter("itemId"), request,heigth, width, imageIndex );
    13        response.setContentType("image/jpeg");
    14        OutputStream o = response.getOutputStream();
    15         o.write(imgData);
    16         o.flush();
    17         out.clearBuffer();
    18         o.close();
            %> getImageAction is my DAO class that actually reads the image data from the DB, when I use this 'getImage.jsp' inside any other jsp in the app it works, but when used as described in the first post the request parameter in the line 12 doesn't have the session info, apparently creates a new session or something and since I use information in the session to create the DAO factory I can't connect to the DB and get this error..
    pls tell me if I explained my self or I'm just talking non sense
    regards

  • Why do linked images resize in ID after being edited elsewhere?

    We use CS4 to layout full colour test papers and text and images files are linked from InCopy, Illustrator and PhotoShop. We noticed that if the images or the text is edited outside of ID, when ID is launched the images always shrink to say between 97- 70%. Even if the linked InCopy file is opened and closed without and editing, the images shrink or get clipped on the sides.
    We’ve played with the setting in ID where we decide whether we want linked images to fit in pre-determined image placeholders but this doesn’t seem to fix the problem. Is there a way of ensuring that images retain their original size and dimensions?
    Would be glad to hear of some useful insights on why this is happening. I hope my question makes sense.

    Have a look to your Object Styles of the used frames. Is there something defined in the frame fittings options?

    I have done everything described but nothing has helped. It has nothing to do with the Type Tool, but with the new rendering. It occurs every time I want to insert a picture into the text flow. There is no workaround and the whole feature is completely broken.
    UPDATE: I have found out that it only occurs when I use the method via alt-clicking the anchor icon and dragging the cursor into the text. (Quick anchoring introduced in CS6) When I copy and paste the image frame into the text, it does not crash.

  • How to scale linked images back to 1:1 {normal proportions}?

    Hi there,
    I am workind on document, containing 470 linked images. I accidentaly did some operation with frame fitting probably, so all my images got non-proportional scaling now. Amount of Undos was not long enough...
    Do you have some clever recipe how to scale them back to normal aspect ratio?

    Well,
    thank you for your reply, but I do not uderstand your advice clearly: If the chain link is not broken, I just resize the frame containing photo and keep that bad proportions which I want to get rid of.
    OK, I can just click the Content Grabber circle button and resize the image manualy to be about fine. But in case of 470 links I hoped in some one-click-magic... {"Equalize the proportions of linked images" button to be exact }
    Thank you...

  • [FM11] Print Image Link and Index Markers with specific Character Style

    Hello,
    I'm new with scripting for Framemaker. I want to export FM docs to RTF so I can import these into InDesign. For the placed images I want to insert a text line that is showing the image link (reference). Besides that I want to show the Index Markers at the mark insertion position with a different Character Style. Can someone help me with that?
    Regards, Sjoerd

    Hello Sjoerd,
    One note about your method to retrieve all linked graphics: this will also process the graphics that might be linked into the master and reference pages. Just to be safe against unwanted side effects you should restrict your list of graphics to the ones in the main flow of your document.
    About the tLoc: you are really looking for the anchor of the anchored frame that contains graphic. It is a little confusing that FM calls both the anchored frame and the imported graphic by the same name. Even if you add an anchored frame to the text to put an equation or a text box in your document, the anchored frame will show up in the linked list of graphics in the document. If you do have an anchored frame containing an imported graphic file, you have a list of graphic objects inside the anchored frame, which itself appears in the list of graphic objects of the document.
    This function should do what you want to do:
    function ListGraphics(doc)
              var aframe = doc.FirstGraphicInDoc;
         while (aframe.ObjectValid()) {
             if (aframe.constructor.name == "AFrame") {
                                            graphic = aframe.FirstGraphicInFrame;
                 if ( graphic.type == Constants.FO_Inset )
                                                 doc.AddText ( aframe.TextLoc, graphic.InsetFile );
             aframe = aframe.NextGraphicInDoc;
    I assume you will also want to remove the anchored frames (the imported image files) from the text. This can be done in the same routine, but you must first catch the following element in the linked list of graphics in the doc before you can delete the current one. Otherwise you will only remove the first and end up with an invalid object. The easiest and safest method to do this is to create an array of elements to be deleted. After ending the while loop, you delete those objects. The full code looks like this:
    function ListGraphics(doc)
              var toDelete = [];
              var aframe = doc.FirstGraphicInDoc;
         while (aframe.ObjectValid()) {
             if (aframe.constructor.name == "AFrame") {
                                            graphic = aframe.FirstGraphicInFrame;
                                            if ( graphic.type == Constants.FO_Inset ) {
                                                           doc.AddText ( aframe.TextLoc, graphic.InsetFile );
                                                           toDelete.push ( aframe );
           aframe = aframe.NextGraphicInDoc;
              for ( i = 0; i < toDelete.length; i++ ) {
                             toDelete[i].Delete();
    This works on a small test file I created. If you need more support, feel free to contact me: jang at jang dot nl
