Fix automatic linking of files

I have to work with files in CS5 that I copy to my computer from a remote server over a T1 line. They are created in Illustrator but are saved as .pdf. Formerly these were being created in CS3 on a Mac. I would copy the file and associated linked files to my machine and everything was fine. If I misssed a linked file Illustrator would prompt me to find, replace or ignore. Now the files are being created in CS5 on a PC. When I copy and try to open Illustrator doesn't look in the project folder on my machine but goes looking for the original linked files back on the remote server. It finds them but the process takes as much a 5 minutes and Illustrator locks up until it finds them. Huge problem!
Is there a way to make it look in the project folder or treat all links as broken when opening a file?

Disconnect from that remote server, then you can point Illustrator to the Folder you want.

Sharepoint 2010 is automatically downloading Office2010 files to local machine's Recent Documents, instead of opening from library, off an emailed link.

Hi-
Please forgive me if this exact question has been asked already (if so I'm not finding it via Google or these forums), but one of my users can't seem to edit documents IN libraries, via links emailed to him. He clicks on the link and the
file auto-downloads with no Read-only/Edit option pop-up, and he can edit it (without getting the annoying yellow "this is read only from the server, click to edit document" bar up top either), but naturally his changes to these documents
are only being saved on his local machine and not making it back to the library.... Our IT dept gave him a Save As workaround (that, it appears, would make a SECOND file in the library, which is not going to work for our processes), but nobody
else is having this issue.... I'm thinking this is a simple settings change someplace in Sharepoint 2010 or Word 2010 (we have Windows 7), or maybe IE, or it's possible his User profile in our network needs some kind of adjustment... anyway,
any/all help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
1. For automatically download the files, please check the office software settings. for word file, please open local word > file > options > save > save checked-out files to: > select "the office document cache"
2. site actions > site settings > site administration > search and offline availablity to change the settings.
3. Please compare the add-ons from this user's IE setting and the working fine IE setting.

When trying to export data from a program we use, it does not automatically recognize the file format as .xml. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

I have tried to uninstall verion 3.6 and reinstall. Also, I re-imaged the workstation, but it still does not work. The OS is Windows 7 32-bit. This same process works automatically on an XP workstation. In fact, the machine I re-imaged was an XP box, but it did not work on this particular machine. Hence, the reason for the new image.

I am exporting the file from TxEIS (in the Firefox web browser) and it does not download properly. Acccording to Firefox documentation, it is supposed to automatically recognize the file extension. I have not experienced this on any other machine within our environment. Other users are performing this same process with no problems. The browers settings are exactly the same as the machines that are working right.

How do I fix "broken links" in iTunes?

Hey Guys!
I just got my first ipod and I'm going insane trying to set it up this morning. The main problem is that for some reason iTunes decided to add each of my songs twice, but then marked one with that "!" sign that I think idicates a broken link. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and for the life of me I can't determine why it's doing this.
Shouldn't it just automatically know the files don't exist and take them out of my library?
Or, can I tell it to go fix the broken links? If so what is the command for doing that?
I am running Windows Vista if that makes a difference. And my brand new ipod is a 16GB Nano (but I have about 70 GB of mp3 files - I'm having to pick and choose what goes on my Nano, which is fine).
I'm sorry if this turns out to be a "duh" solution but I can't find a good answer anywhere online (I tried ITLU and that complex playlist solution from PaulMayne.com already, to no avail).
Thank you so much

Any ideas how to fix this?

Why do I have to remove Adobe Acrobat in order to link pdf files using Preview?

Whenever I try to link pdfs to make a single file, Adobe Acrobat opens automatically and prevents me from linking them, instead demanding that I pay money for a subscription. Instead, I have to remove Adobe, at which point I can open Preview, and then I can link the files.
Is there any way to link documents without having to remove and then reinstall Adobe?
I have an iMac 10.6.8 and the latest Adobe that will install.

Missing images in RH8 with linked Word files

RH8 HTML and MS Word 2007
The images from linked Word documents are not showing up in my RH8 project.
Here's how the project is set up:
The RH project is in its standard location: C drive, in a subfolder underneath My RoboHelp Projects.
All content is included through the Link > Word Document option in RH.
MS Word source files are in a network location (because several other writers are maintaining the source content). There are about 20 MS Word source files.
I have an "Images" folder set up on the network at the same level as the source files, and we link the graphics into the MS Word files from there.
Through my forum research, I have found several suggestions that have have made RH recognize the images in my linked files (previously, we were simply inserting the images into the Word source files, so in RH, the image was ignored and there was simply a blank line with no graphic indicator at all). So I am now selecting Insert > Picture > Link to File as the method for building images into the MS Word source file. I have also found the suggestion to ensure that the images are retained in the document, by selecting Office Button > Prepare > Edit Links to Files, and then checking the option for "Save picture in document" for each of the linked pictures.
When I follow those methods, I now see a red-bordered box where the images should be, and the image file name is displayed in the box. However, I get an error message that says the image files used in each of the project htm files are "outside of the current project and will not be shown in Project Manager."
I cannot figure out where to place the images so that RH's Project Manager recognizes them as part of the project. RH does not automatically create an Images folder within Project Manager. I've tried creating one myself and placing images there (and then even linking my source files to the images within the project folder). But still no dice.
I have tried a volume of troubleshooting options--placing the linked source files and graphics within the project folder, leaving the source files on the network and placing copies in the project subfolders that RH creates after I link the source files into the project, etc etc etc. I've looked for a setting in RH that allows me to set a default location for images (never found one).
Ergo, lots of troubleshooting, and still only half a solution here.
I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone can shed some light. I am doing my best to avoid importing the graphics directly through RH because I want the online help to pick up the exact structure & content of the source files. This obviously negates the option for importing the Word content vs linking it in. In older versions of RH, I was at least accustomed to RH importing generically named images into the project regardless of whether they were copied directly into the Word file, but I see that this is not even an option when linking the source files into the project.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
Best regards,
Athena

Hi Peter,
Thank you for the recommendations. I want to be sure I’m understanding “embedded” the correct way. Do you mean to insert the images directly into the file—i.e., selecting the MS Word option Insert Picture > Insert? Or do you mean to insert them by selecting Insert Picture > Link to File?
Also, could you let me know where in Windows Explorer I should attempt to trace the images? The image source files are stored with the content source files on my company network, in a separate sub-directory for Images (I have tested the build with all the files on my local drive as well). When I link the Word source files into RH and generate the topics, RH does not bring any images into the project folder within the My RoboHelp Projects directory on my local drive.
I have searched through all the project files/directories that RH creates (top-level project folder, as well as subfolders it creates for each Word linked file), and there are no image files (except for one that I placed in my RH master page). I have attached a screenshot of the project folder (MainProjectFolder.png) and one of the linked file sub-folders (LogBookProjectFolder.png).
The problem seems to be that RH is not recognizing an image as an image. RH knows there are supposed to be images in the htm topics because it does have the red box “placeholder” where the images should be, and the image names are displayed in the red boxes (see attached RH_Project.png screenshot). I have gone into the properties for an image and used the Image Name field to manually map to the directory that contains the source image. When I do that, the image then appears in the top-level project folder with the gold & green RH image icon, and it does then appear in the topic. But at that point, if I update the linked Word file, I lose the image again. I have set the topics with images to where they retain the RH image modifications I’ve done, but then the topic shows as broken in my TOC when I update the linked Word file, and those topics do not appear in the build at all when I generate the WebHelp.
Since RH also does not automatically create any kind of Images folder in the project during the process of linking and generating the source files, I have tried copy/pasting the source images into the top-level RH project folder prior to even linking/generating htm topics from the Word source files. But when I go to a topic and view the properties associated with the image placeholder, RH still does not display any of the image files I pasted into the project folder.
I am happy to provide my source file so that you can investigate this further. Please let me know if you need the file with the images inserted directly or if you need it with them linked in (in which case, I’ll send the image files too).
Thanks,
Athena

Link to file on iDisk??

My husband's new .mac website has a link to a 97 MB pdf full of photos. It kept failing to upload when we linked to it in iWeb and uploaded the iWeb site---the pages would all load, but not the pdf despite hours of spinning beachballs.
As a workaround, I used my computer's faster connexion to upload the pdf to the Public Folder of his iDisk. That worked, the pdf is there. But now, how do we put a link to it in the iWeb site?
I tried dragging the icon from the online iDisk window onto the iWeb page, and an anonymous white square did appear but it doesn't seem to be a link to anything, although I suppose to be absolutely sure of that I'd have to upload the site again and test it. I did open the Inspector>Link in iWeb while the little white square was selected, and it did not have the link box checked. If I check the link box in the Inspector, of course I get the dialog asking me to locate what it is we want to link to.
I tried control-clicking on the icon in the iDisk window to see if it would give me some sort of url but no.

You can also use the original Homepage style URL for files in your Public (or Music and Movies) folders.
Instead of the idisk.mac.com style you would use homepage.mac.com
The syntax requires a period (.) and a capital P for public.
An example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
Using the Public folder makes a great way to email just links to files. The also automatically update in any FileSharing.html file used by HomePage.
Upload once and use in dozens of places or pages.

Linking KN9 files together using hyperlinks, fades to black

When linking KN9 files together using hyperlinks, I press play the document being linked to fades in, then out to a black screen and after a couple of seconds returns to the files open files on my desktop.
I've checked all the setting and it even does it on 2 empty pages I tested with no transitions or document settings.
If I open both document before pressing play it's OK but because I have several large files being linked together I dont want to have to open all the files before presenting to clients etc.
Thanks!

The History
I reported the hyperlinking problem over a year ago when I updated Keynote from version 5.0.5 to version 5.1. According to the Apple tech that I wroked with at that time the Apple engineers had reproduced the issue and had put it on the fix list (Case 235638615). I then worked with Apple in December 2011 to test a version that supposedly fixed the problem, but did not, so Apple sent me a data logging monitor program which I ran and sent back. The Apple tech asked me to be patient as it might take awhile for the Apple engineers to fix the issue. When version 5.2 came out I reran my testing suite of presentations and found that the hyperlinking issue had still not been fixed. I have tried to contact Apple about my case since July 26th - my emails to the Apple tech with whom I worked back in December bounce back as undeliverable and he does not answer his phone (I have left messages with no replies) plus when I try to use Apple support to follow up on the case, all I get is a message to contact my Apple tech (Doh!). If Apple techs or Apple engineers watch the forums I hope they look into unresolved Case 235638615.
The Workaround
Hyperlinking worked fine with 5.0.5 - the .key files would load and display and did not have to be preloaded prior to runing the linked presentations. Version 5.1 through the current version 5.2 require all of the linked presentations to be preloaded prior to running them. Prior to the current version of Lion, I was able to manually run version 5.0.5 to successfully run my system of 32 presentations. The only downsides were that I could not use any transitions or animations introduced with version 5.1 and I had to force quit Keynote 5.0.5. However, when I tried that solution this month, it would not work. So I created an Automator app to load the appropriate subset of presentations for each day of the five day class and used version 5.2. Everything went okay with preloaded presentations.
I love using Keynote and do not want to go back to PowerPoint, so I hope Apple fixes this issue. I think we have been more than patient with the Apple engineers.

Is it possible to link in files based on a pattern?

Is it possible to automatically link in php files in the way css, js and included and required includes are linked?
The image is from Dw cs5, swedish, but I think you know what I mean.
This shows the desired behavior based on a bug i found in cs5.
Every file starts with commented out require statements. This does include the files the way I want but it's not convenient to have these useless comments in the beginning of every file.
//require "/relative/path/to/file.php"
I also want to be able to link like this in all code files i'm using, such as js, css and php.

PHP includes should look like this:
<?php require_once('folder/filename.php'); ?>
<?php require('folder/filename.php'); ?>
Some people use the Insert Panel. Others find it more convenient to create Custom Snippets.

Link with File's Owner problem

I created a nib file "WebViewController.xib". And try to link the UIView with File's Owner. But it doesn't work. Also sometimes with other nib files, I deleted a connection from View Connections->Referencing Outlet, then tried to connect again, but it can't link with File's Owner anymore. This problem
is very annoying.
How to fix this? Thank you.

You need first to add
@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UITextField *label;
before the IBAction

RH8 fixing broken links

In RH8, I'm trying to fix broken links. I find the topics, then they move from the Broken Links folder to the correct folder but then the topic still looks like it has a broken link! Can anyone advise? here's a pic

Hello again
Unfortunately you are totally misunderstanding things. Please allow me to try and explain better.
ANY folder in your project is going to have an FPJ file inside it. This is a "behind the scenes" file that RoboHelp uses to keep track of the files that are part of the project.
In the image you provided, there are two folders in the project location with similar names:
Ranger_Help
Ranger_Help_
Only the Ranger_Help_ appears to actually be part of the project because the other folder Ranger_Help isn't appearing in the image capture showing the project inside RoboHelp. So unless something screwy happened, you should not find an FPJ file inside that folder. Then again, you may find one. It all depends on what happened.
Personally, I'd look inside the Ranger_Help folder and see if the files representing the broken links are inside. They may well be. And if so, I'd copy them to the Ranger_Help_ folder and see if that resolves things.
This project is beginning to resemble a bowl of spaghetti!
Cheers... Rick

How to turn off the Automatic link update in InDesign CS5.5?

We have a problem with the Automatic link update in InDesign CS5.5 vers. 7.6
We want to see which images have been updated / modified (ie, marked with the yellow triangle in the links panel).
We want to be able to update the links manually.
Q1: Although we deselect the "Check Links Before Opening Document" and "Find Missing Links Before Opening Document"
under Preferences > File Handling the links get automatically updated even though we choose "Do not Update Links"
when we open the document.
Is it a bug, or is there another option to deselect the automatic update of links?
Q2: When we open old documents made in CS4, we get this error message (see the attached jpeg).
We believe it is because the links are missing in the CS4 document.
Just as many missing links in the document, as many times the error message is presented.
It's a loop that we can't pass.
Could these two problems be related?

This is not normal behavior. I wonder what is different for you.
If you deselect "Check Links Before Opening Document," you should not be prompted to "Do not Update Links." This suggest you have corrupt preferences. So try:
Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/526990

Linking PDF files to a published project.

I've scoured over forums for a couple days now looking for an answer to this. I have CS5, and I'm extremely new to this program. Here's what I have going on:
I'm creating a series of courses. The first intro/welcome course, has a menu. I want each of those menu items to pull up another published project. I publish my courses as PDF. I've read that when you set a button to pull up another file/url, your flash settings my prevent this. I've gone through the steps to fix that, but that doesn't seem to be a problem. I think I'm missing a more simple step. When I publish, I receive a message that lists the files that I have "linked" and states that they may need to be exported and placed into the published folder. Now, I'm not sure how to export them, but I have copied the relevant files into the final project folder to no avail. I've also read that if you are operating on a network, that this may pose problems, but I'm not on a network. Am I missing a really basic step to linking the files before publishing? Thanks so much for any assistance.

Thanks, I had read the "relative link" response in other forums but just couldn't get it to work. After playing with it for a while, I just got a little bit closer to the desired result. On the drop down menu next where you enter the file name, I chose "new" instead of "current" and checked "continue playing project". When I preview the project, it works great. But, when I publish, the link does not work anymore. Could anyone provide some detail to what each of those selections do in the drop down menu? They might be the key.

Export to epub with linked ai files result in low quality images

I have a 220 page indesign cc doc which I am exporting to epub fixed layout. I have around 100 linked ai files. When I export, the main paragraph text is crisp and lovely but the ai figures are a little fuzzy.
I have tested different settings in the 'Object Export Options' but each time it comes out the same.
See image below.
I have searched around but can't seem to find anyone talking about this. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

Hello Carli,
When exporting to epub, images format changes to png/jpg/gif depending on what you have selected in EPUB Export Options dialog. Please try exporting to PNG with high resolution selected(you can change Resolution as well in Export Options dialog).
Thanks
