CS4 - Image Linking

Has Adobe addressed the absolute vs. relative linking issue for images in Illustrator CS4? This seems more critical than ever now that Illustrator includes multi-pages.
Thanks,
Devin

  • Plugin for Windows CS4 to Migrate Mac CS4 Image Links

    Greetings,
    My company currently has our entire publishing/design department on Mac's running CS4; however, as an IS department we are getting a little tired of the cost of replacing the Mac's and tired of always wondering when the next OS X update is going to force our hand into just buying all the Macs as brand new.  That being said we are interested in migrating them over to PCs, but as we all know, since Macs run Unix based and Windows is, well Windows (lol), The links created inside documents become broken when opened by a PC.  Now I have searched for about a week to try and find a plugin or something that would migrate the links in these files over to Windows (or at least be able to translate them without breaking them) with absolutely no success...Has anyone ever heard of such a feat being accomplished? If so, I will be eternally grateful!!!  Thanks in advance for any information.

    Creative Suite serial numbers have always been platform specific: Windows only or Mac only.
    The only time you get to choose is at the point of sale.
    After that swapping to another operating system requires a platform transfer process but that is only available for the current version (CS6)
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    In short, you're unfortunately stuck with CS4 for Windows.
    Your options now are either to buy CS6 for Mac or join the Cloud. Or run Windows on your Mac via Parallels or Bootcamp or similar and install CS4 for Windows in that environment.
    One of the features of Cloud software is that it can be used interchangeably on Mac and/or Windows at any time without any platform swapping processes or paperwork.

  • Image Link Problem with Dreamweaver CS4?

    On my website, I have several images that link to other parts on my website. These work no problem when I preview the site, but after I test the links, the images that had those links have purple outlines that really clash with my website's design. Will users see this if they click on my links, and then return to the page? I'm using CS4 right now, and never recalled having this issue come up when using MX. Thanks for the help.

    I got stuck on this one too - not realising that Dreamweaver automatically palces a border on every image link - but the simplest way I found was to have my "Properties" panel showing on the bottom and input 0 into the "Border" box. By having this panel open you can see if you have accidently applied any styles to the image, where it links to, Image size attributes and the Image name.

  • Image Links "Page" is OV or and I can't delete them

    I'm using InDesign CS4 on Windows XP Pro. We have several documents within a book file in which some of the image links have page numbers OV and < >. I know the OV means overset text, but I'm not sure what the < > means. I know it has something to do with XML. That's not the problem.
    The problem is: How do I delete these links (images)? Obviously, the images are no longer in the document but I can't figure out how to delete them from the links palette and, therefore, from the document. I've looked in the Structure panel, but I can't see a corelation.The document still prints fine, and I can create a PDF without a problem, but I'd like to clean-up the files.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lloyd Lathrop

    I find this is a problem often occurs when using xml (if the document has ever been populated using a data publishing tool such as XMPie/EasyCat/Stibo etc you can get residue xml lingering).
    To get rid of it open the Structure View: View/Structure/Show Structure or Alt-Apple-1 (sometimes the menu option isn't there depending on which menu set you have selected).
    You will see the xml panel open on the left with something akin to a folder structure. Open these up until you find a reference to the offending image link and delete it (it will give you an option to untag or delete - i think either will do in this instance).

  • Getting Rid of Standard Colored Links Around Image Links

    I have included several images on my CS4 Dreamweaver site
    that link to other pages, sites, etc. when clicked. An unexpected
    and annoying standard blue (active), purple (visited), etc. link
    border appears around the image when viewed in IE and AOL browsers.
    These do not appear in Live View in CS4. How do I get rid of this
    annoyance?

    >Who's to say what's correct and much easier?
    The W3C and the HTML/CSS experts here and elsewhere.
    >Not simple if you want some image links with border, some
    without.
    Still simple.
    >To each their own.
    The 'border' attribute is deprecated for a reason. It's not
    only old
    style, but also bloats the code, because you have to apply it
    to each
    and every image. A hundred images, a hundred 'border'
    attributes. Quite
    a waste of resources, which also makes the markup harder to
    maintain.
    With CSS you just need a single rule to give every image link
    on every
    page on the entire site the same default style, usually
    borderless. If
    you then want some links differently - nothing easier than
    that. Either
    apply a class or ID to them for individual styling or to
    their parent
    element to access an entire group of links at once, for
    example all the
    buttons in a nav bar:
    a img {border: 0}
    #nav a {border: 2px outset #F00}
    That's it. Easy, flexible, efficient. Once you've learned
    about the
    power of CSS, you don't want to miss it anymore. Deprecated
    and
    inefficient markup was yesterday (or better last century).

  • Addon domain image links broken

    I use addon domains inside my main site to maintain small side sites and to preview client sites before handing off.
    My host recently upgraded the servers. The addon domain sites affected were last synched w/Dreamweaver CS4 v10+.
    The addon domains - "myaddondomains.com" - worked fine until I recently resynched with Dreamweaver CS5.5 v11.5.
    The problem  is that  image links now display only <alt> text without the image. The page navigation remains intact, as does the CSS link.
    Image paths point to image folder within the addon/subdomain folder.
    I've tried setting the links to both site and document - regardless of the path the images won't display.
    Enter the domain URL only:
    http://www.dealerzine.com/ = <alt> text only
    Enter the absolute address: mysite.com/myaddondomain.com
    http://www.siebenthalercreative.com/dealerzine.com/ = <alt> text only
    Enter as a subdomain (below): mysubdomain.mysite.com
    http://www.dealerzine.siebenthalercreative.com/ = correct image display (below)
    Is there anything obvious I'm overlooking? It looks like there's something in the dot-com suffix that might be affecting how the lookup treats the image display but the correct display of <alt> text indicates (to me) the image folder is being accessed.
    My host IT has spent a lot of time looking at the back end with no solution other than a vague suspicion that the site relative forward slash might be a (Apache) problem.
    Thanks in advance -

    Problem solved. cPanel security HotLink Protection wrote domains to .htaccess and blocked image links - which should have been obvious. Once disabled addon domains are again displaying normally.

  • 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 . . .

  • Has anyone had the error "The file could not be read due to an error" when selecting ignore or replace image links. The linked images are in Dropbox if that helps.

    I am working on a Mac 10.9.5 with Adobe CS6. My files are locally in Dropbox but once we moved files to network and tried opening the AI - the file would not recognize the original folder location. I tried ignoring the missing images but then I receive the error - The file could not be read due to an error." The same error happens when I try replacing the first missing image. I know the problem lies in the images are linked back to my Dropbox but the AI file doesn't care since it won't let me replace or ignore the image links.

    Jasion,
    Maybe a bit beside the question, but it is always recommended here to open/save from/to own hard disk, and to copy from/to networks and removable media. You may be lucky, at least for a while, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
    In addition to the (far greater) risk of file corruption, some issues are mentioned here:

  • How can I make an image link to a movie?

    I noticed something really awesome in the free Biology textbook on iBooks, and I wanted to try to recreate it in iBooks author, however I cant quite seem how to figure out how it was done. In the Biology book, there is an image of a gentleman on page 8 that has a play button on it. Upon clicking that image, a video plays and opens up full screen. I originally though this was done using the Hyperlink inspector and making the image LINK to play a video, however upon further review I noticed that you cannot LINK an image to anything. My next thought was maybe that it was an HTML widget of some sort, but most HTML widgets, when pinched are separate from the page, where as this acts more like how an image acts on a page and doesnt really the move. So does anyone have any ideas on how this was done? I really like the idea of having a masked image be interactive and turned into a video.
    Any ideas?

    If the folder is outside the Muse page, you will have to insert manual HTML to define a more complex URL like e.g. ../_stuff for going one level up and then into a folder called "_stuff" The deeper you are in the hierarchy, the more ../ you will have to add to climb up.

  • Converting image links from Word to PDF

    If I insert a picture into a Word file (Insert/Picture From File), select the picture and Insert/Hyperlink and then Convert to Adobe PDF, the hyperlink is still active in the pdf file as expected (Add Links is checked in the conversion settings).
    However, if I do the same but apply any layout options to the picture before attaching the hyperlink (e.g. Format Picture/Layout/Square text wrapping), Convert to PDF does not convert the link into the pdf file and the image appears as if no link had ever been set.
    Does anybody know of a solution to this problem?  Or is Acrobat 9 any better?  I am curently using Word 2000 and Acrobat 6 running on XP

    Thanks for the reply.
    I have already inserted the links within the pdf, so I do have a working document.  It is only a draft, though, and any subsequent editing requires going back to the original Word document, editing and converting again to pdf and then re-establishing the links - with over 30 images (linked to pre-exixting pdf documents) this last step is both tedious and error-prone!  Thanks for the warning re Acrobat 9 and Word 2000.  I had been thinking of upgrading ...

  • 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.

  • Image with link functions in Firefox, half of the image/link is active in Chrome, image/link dead in Safari

    I have a page with 2 nav links originating from 2 different images. 1 image / link works well with Firefox, Chrome and Safari. The other image / link works well with firefox, only half of the image is active in Chrome and none of the image is active in safari. The documents links checkout fine. I have replaced the image, the container as well as relinked. The result is the same. Can someone help please?

  • Image Link Problems in Illustrator CS3

    Am running on Mac OS 10.4.11. Mac is a Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5. File server is an IBM x3650, running FullPress Software and Xinet and Flashnet.
    When saving files in Illustrator CS3 with preserved image links to hi-res images on the server, other users who later open that ai file, have to manually relink to images on the server. If the file is opened on the Mac that created it, images link automatically when opened again. The problem is that other Macs do not see the links/paths to the images.
    It is frustrating and time-consuming. The problem seems to be isolated to just 2 specific Macs. One with the spec as above, and the other is a 2x2.66GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon, running on the same Mac OS.
    All software installs are same on all macs in my studio.
    The overall problem is : 17 Macs. 15 of these can open files created on each others Macs without issue. However, if files were created on the 2 "problem Macs", link issues arise. The 2 problem Macs have link issues with ANY other mac when opening files saved on any other Mac.
    Sorry for long winded nature of this, but can anyone help? Have tried all sorts and have run out of ideas on this. URGENT help needed! Thanks.

    Thanks Ian and Jim.
    Have solved the mystery.
    Opened files in Text edit, and the links defined section, did show ghosted volumes on problem macs.
    So, went to desktop > From the Go menu, select Go to Folder >then entered "/volumes"
    This brought up the volumes and highlighted some anomalies. Folders appearing with same name as my server, meaning when the server mounted it added a suffix of -1, -2 etc.
    MANY THANKS Gentleman.
    Tim.
