Graphic link isn't shown in the links panel.

Hi there.
I'm working on a 550 page catalogue. As many problems with InDesign start, we've converted the file from Quark Xpress into InDesign.
This was a manual process and we drag and dropped all the images across, luckily InDesign took the link with it when it was dragged across. However looking through the files now, I've noticed that some images don't have any links at all - It doesn't even show up as a missing link, theres nothing there. I assume this is where the link has been missing in the original quark file. see attachment.
(The bottom left image is selected, of the brown mat - as you can see, no link info is seen and also no info is show on the Info panel.)
The only way to check if this error has occured is by clicking on each image to see if the link is there.
My question is, has anyone come across this before and is there a way to find this error in a pre-flight check. There are thousands of images and it would take a very long time to go through and check each image individually.
Thank you in advance of your response.
Regards
Dave

Hi Peter.
Thanks for the response.
Well, when we were faced with converting the files into ID we were looking at ways in which to do it. We found that dragging and dropping from QXP9 into ID CS5.5 worked a treat. I'd say 95% of them have worked perfectly, its just these troublesome ones I want to keep a track on.
I tried exporting as .idml but to no success. Thanks anyway for the suggestion.
I think I'll have to go through and manually check all these images. Unless you or anybody else knows of a way to spot these through a Preflight check.
Thanks again for your reply, Peter.

  • Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

    finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

    This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

  • How do you open the clone panel in Photoshop Elements 12, it isn't shown in the windows list

    I am trying to access the clone panel in Photoshop Elements 12. The tutorials I have seen show a drop down list from the windows button, however on my drop down list there is no clone panel.
    I guess my question is does PE12 have a clone panel and if so how do I access it?

    I've never heard of a "clone panel" but the clone stamp is in the Enhance section on the right side, below the Healing Brush. If you see the pattern stamp there instead, just click the clone stamp in the tool options at the bottom of the window.

  • HT3078 When I opened up my Apple Wireless Mouse to replace the batteries, there was a metallic "strip" inside. I have no idea how it goes back in and it isn't shown in the instructions here. Where does it go?

    I have an Apple Wireless Mouse (model A1015 EMC No. 1938).
    I metal "strip" fell out. I can not figure out how to put the strip back in.
    Leaving it out, the mouse doesn't work (no light, no nothing).
    Does the strip actually belong and if so, where does it go?
    I went to the Apple site and looked up how to replace the batteries and started off saying to turn off the mouse. I have no idea how to turn off the mouse. It also did not show a metal strip on the inside.
    When I opened the mouse, the battery cover popped off. Without the metal strip, the cover does not pop off and is very hard to remove.

  • Mails sent on my iPhone isn't shown in the sent folder

    Whenever I send an email it does not show up in the sent folder on my iPhone or on my Mac when I sync. Why could this be?
    It works just fine, I recieve mails and I'm able to reply and all that. I just can't see them in the sent folder which is annoying.
    Hope you can help me

    I think figured it out. The original problem was that Mail.app was not using Gmail's smtp server. In the account preferences in Mail I have checked the box which says: 'Only use this server' under the pop-up list which has Gmail's smtp server selected. But examining the full headers of emails sent via supposedly different smtp servers (via different email addresses with all have that 'Only use this server' checked) and emails sent via Gmail's web interface gave me the strong indication that Mail.app is not using Google's smtp server.
    Lo and behold, once I switched between my corporate network and a cellular-modem based one which caused Mail to fail to reach the smtp server (inside my corporate network only my corporate smtp server works and outside every smtp server except the corporate one works) and therefore brought up a dialogue which allowed me to choose the smtp server and I selected Gmail's smtp server, my sent messages showed up in Gmail's sent folder.
    Even better, after restoring my iPhone (syncing wasn't doing the trick), emails sent from my Gmail account on the iPhone show up in Gmail's sent folder (and Gmail's sent folder also shows up on the iPhone).
    As usual, if you for your life's sake cannot figure something out, most likely something you consider a fact is actually not the true. I was assuming that Mail was using Gmail's smtp server, that is what I told Mail to do. But apparently, once Mail fails to reach an smtp server and you tell Mail to use another it continues to use this alternative server forever until it fails to reach this one and ask you again (and that is the only way to reset it). And more importantly this alternative smtp server gets carried over to the iPhone. Even more sneakily, if you check the smtp server setting on the iPhone it still reads the 'correct' one but it is using in fact another one (visible from the full headers of the received email).
    Getting Mail to use the correct smtp servers is its own pain in the butt. And after the umpteenth restore with everything working now, I now unchecked the option to sync mail accounts (since I keep switching networks on my Mac, I'm sure to end up with the wrong smtp servers associated with my email accounts).

  • How can a PowerPoint presentation be shown inside the front panel of a given application ?

    I´m developing a application and I thought it would be a great idea if I could somehow show a PowerPoint presentation inside its front panel. Can it be done using LabVIEW active x vis or can´t it be done at all ?
    Thanks in advance !!

    Like I said, I tried that option (and even got it work somehow, by connecting nodes from other places and using type casts), but I don't think it can manage that in a real app.
    After thinking about this some more, I've come to an unlikable conclusion - it's possible that there is no AX control for PP. Not for animation, anyway. If I remember correctly, when you open a PP presentation in Internet Explorer, you see the slides, but not the animation. If an AX control would exist, I'm sure IE would use it, which is why I think there probably isn't one.
    You can get a presentation into an AX container very easily by choosing the third option (open from file). Then, if you select a PP presentation, it will open in the container. However, if I remember correctly, you have no properties and methods to control it, and I don't think it will show the animation, so it's a bit useless.
    Maybe someone does know of a way...

  • I can not drag graphic items into or out of the Creative Cloud library in Illustrator CC 2014

    I've recently upgraded to the new 2014.1.0 release that includes linked Creative Cloud Libraries. However, it appears that my version of Illustrator is not allowing me to drag graphic items into or out of the library panel. I can use the menu prompts and panel buttons to add items to my library or document, however the drag feature is not working. You can see the issue in the screencast below. If anyone else is having this problem and has figured out a solution, I'd greatly appreciate it. It's worth noting that the panel works as advertised in other applications within Creative Suite CC. Thank you.

  • Itunes does not show my audio cd on the left panel

    Hi,
    I have a Dell Laptop with Windows 7.
    When I put an audio CD into the DVD/CD-drive, I can hear the music with every program on my computer except from iTunes.
    The audio CD is not shown on the left panel of iTunes.
    The CD does not have a copy protection because iTunes on my father's computer does show the CD.
    However, when I run the diagnostics, there a no errors. iTunes recognizes even the tracks on the CD etc. - everything is fine.
    Only the CD is not shown on the left panel and I cannot hear the tracks of the CD nor rip it.
    I have already checked the support sites, I have already checked the DVD/CD-drive filters, reinstalled iTunes, downloaded the latest firmware and the drivers etc. etc. (and everything else what is recommended on Apple's support sites).
    Can anybody tell me how to solve this problem?

  • No link works after error is shown in the page

    Hi All
    I have created a JSF page with ADF bindings. There's a button in the page which when clicked takes the navigation to second page. Before that, some Database transaction takes place.
    Now the problem is that if some error is encountered during database transaction then it is shown at the top of the page.But once the error comes then no other link even the button does'nt work.
    My requirement is that error is shown as usual but it should'nt stop the whole application.
    How to handle this situation?

    Hi,
    error messages indeed should not force the command action from working. However, just from the description its not clear whether this is an implementation issue of yours or a defect in the product. I assume you are on the latest version of JDeveloper. Is there any stack print out when this happens ? Maybe you have an unhandled excepion breaking the app

  • Treats every graphic link/button like a view image rather than directing me to the target address.

    Not sure how to explain this -
    if I'm visiting a website and click on a graphic link, it directs me to a new tab displaying the graphic image I just clicked, rather than the target site. It treats every graphic link (or button) like I'm asking to "view image".
    I've tried right clicking to "open link in new tab" - same result.
    Sorry I can't explain it any clearer.

  • Embedded Graphics do not show in Links Panel?

    I'm guessing this is an embedded graphic. I received a packaged file for print, all is fine, but I'm pondering the "image" shown. (I was curious how they formatted the rules and type and started selecting)
    After removing everything else from the document, Find Font show no fonts used; the links panel is empty; info for the frame lists nothing; it is not outlined type. One layer; show hidden characters is on.
    The file package report lists Links and Images: 1 link (a stock photo used on page 1), 0 missing, 0 embedded.

    I've been playing with building my own "Info" panel. It isn't as pretty as the built-in one, but it gives me better "raw" file format information in some cases. It would be interesting to see what it reports as the object type, if you want to send me your doc ...

  • Crystal Reports with Graphical Linking on Multiple Data source

    Hello
    I have a report which uses graphical linking on 6 tables/views which acts as the data source.
    4 are on HANA and 2 on a legacy system.
    Record selection filters are applied to filter data.
    Report's performance is incredibly slow on running for higher date ranges even for less than a month bringing back < 10000 records.
    Please suggest any tips to improve this.
    already tried below :
    Checked no printer option
    Removed Page N of M control
    Changed Order links to pick small tables first
    Crystal Reports 2013 connecting via ODBC to HANA and legacy
    -Jayakrishnan

    Hi Jayakrishnan,
    When you join tables from multiple datasources, CR processes the joins and any record selection criteria locally. This is what slows down the report.
    The only way to speed up performance is to have all the data atleast come from the same database or even better, creating a view that has all the required tables and joins.

  • Images aren't being displayed in the links panel

    I am trying to locate the source file for images in an InDesign CS6 document, so that I can use them within another project (Muse). I had planned to use the links panel to see the path for each image. However, only a few of my graphics/images are being displayed in the links panel. Most images are not showing up at all (I would expect them to show as 'missing' in the links panel if they had been moved or deleted). How can InDesign display the image in InDesign but not recognize the image as an asset in the Links panel? Could this be due to the way the image was imported? If so is there any way to export the image or save the image out of InDesign?
    Help!

    Did you put those images into the ID document? Did someone else?
    Is it possible that someone copied and pasted those images from Photoshop (or another application) into ID. If so, that's the problem.
    I'm not too sure you can retrieve the images at their proper resolutions, though.

  • Dynamic modifications/change in graphic links

    Hello all,
    I have documents with lots of graphics in them and am looking for a way
    around to change the links dynamically instead of updating graphic links
    manually. First thing comes in my mind to write a script.
    I've also found some plug-in (LinkOptimizer) available to do this, though
    need to check whether it fits my requirement or not.
    Another thought comes in my mind is to save indesign file to .inx=>
    changing graphics path in text editor in INX and opening them in InDesign
    though not sure about the success.
    Any thought to guide in regard will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Any way to export several columns from the Links panel?

    This was originally posted to the InDesign forum, was suggested there might be a script that could achieve this?
    Working on a textbook with hundreds of illustrations. Each Chapter has  up to 100.  Need to get several columns of data (file name and page #  that it appears on) exported from the Links Panel (in sorted order) so  they can be dropped into a spreadsheet. I am using TextWrangler which  will dump out all the filenames in a folder, but it sorts alphabetically  and I really want them sorted by the Page Numbers where they appear.

    This script creates a CSV file on the desktop that you can import in Excel. The file name is the same as the name of active indesign document.

         page = doc.pages[i];
         allGraphics = page.allGraphics;
         for (var k = 0; k < allGraphics.length; k++) {
              graphic = allGraphics[k];
