How to Replace Missing Links in CS5 InDesign

I received a message that there were 13 missing links in my document. How do I replace those links? I can see the locations of the missing links in the links panel but I am not sure how to get them back in the document.

Hi Richl,
In the Links panel, highlight the images you want to relink (shift + click to select a range), and click on the leftmost icon at the bottom of the panel (looks like two chain links). You'll be presented with a menu to locate your missing links. If the links in the panel show a yellow rectangle next to them, the link simply needs to be updated, and to do that you click the update icon at the bottom of the links panel.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!
-Mikey

  • How to replace #Missing for a 0 number and not '0

    Hello, I will like to know if any of you know how to replace in Excel the #Missing for a 0 (number 0), and not '0 (text 0), that is what it always return.
    Thanks

    Great Tim!!
    Though i did not raise this question, i have been having this in mind for months from now.
    This worked like a magic.
    Yes you are right, it is not advisable when the sheet is meant for lock and send as it would create unwanted blocks.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to replace missing fonts with a specific font (and not a suggested font)

    Hello all!
    Looking to replace missing fonts within my document - but the drop-down selection only gives a couple of suggestions, none of which are the font I want to use.
    How can I replace the fonts with a font of my choosing?
    I've attached an image to give more clarity - notice how the drop-down only gives the option to select between 3 fonts without an option to select your own font - many thanks!

    Same problem! The only solution I found is to prepare a textbox in a new file with all the font you need. Copy and past in the file you need to change font. Go to type/risolve missing font. Will open the same window in the pic you pasted. Then you find the font in the dropdown menu. I have to change all the Helvetica family ...it's a long go. If some one could save me. Hope to be usefull to your problem.

  • How to replace #MISSING with 0 in Hyperion Financial Report

    I am developing report in Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio. The report shows #MISSING for no data and does not look nice. I want to replace #MISSING with 0 (Like I did in SmartVIEW). However, I could not find a way to do that in Financial Reporting Studio.
    Thank you for any help in advance.

    To replace no data (#MISSING) in cells, type a value in the No Data text box.

  • How to relink missing links that have no extensions

    I'm working with files received from another company. All the InDesign files have links listed in the Links palette with no extensions. The actual link files themselves HAVE extensions (mostly .jpg, some .psd, .ai, .pdf, etc.). All the links show up as missing, and when I try to relink them I have to do them all individually, even though all the necessary links are in the same folder (just WITH extensions). I've tried "Relink to Folder" and "Relink File Extension," but because there isn't an extension to begin with, it's just not working. It's really time-consuming to relink them one at a time, since there are about 40 InDesign files that average about 40 links each. Any ideas?

    Yes, I know  extra periods in the filename is a big no-no. This is another unfortunate aspect of the project. It is the naming convention used for hundreds of links. I have software for batch file renaming, but for this project, I really want to avoid changing the filenames. This is the first of 12 similar projects, all with the same problem, so my hope is to find a solution that will help both now and in the future.
    All involved in the project are aware of the problem, and in order to save the budget we're trying to research all options for correcting the files.
    John, you seemed to think this is scriptable. I googled and tried a script that seemed to solve a similar issue, but it didn't work out. My coworker is going to see if he can modify the script to adapt to our needs, but in the meantime I think I'll post in the scripting forum. Any help you can offer would be great.
    Thanks everyone!

  • How to replace missing Keynote Font

    I just switched from MS powerpoint to Keynote. I could not be happier, well I could but I am happy
    The problem I have is that I ahve a good number of older presentations that I am working on that having missing fonts. I know how to add fonts to font book but I just want to replace hte missing fonts in keynote.
    So I select each text box and set font to arial, close reopen same missing font. I try applying master to slide close reopen same missing font. I cannot seem to find where hte missing font is actually used. Anyone have any ideas?

    I am also having the same problem, but with Keynote presentations made on a G4 Lap Top which now have "missing" fonts (Arial is the most bothersome) when I open them on a MacBook Pro (same version of Keynote on both).
    If I attempt to replace the font Keynote has substituted for Arial with Arial (yes, Arial still appears in the list of fonts) and save the presentation, when I reopen it, the Arial is missing again!
    Looking around on the internet I saw some indications that the problem may stem from the font name having been changed from ArialMS to ArialMT, but there was no solution suggested.

  • Missing Link on CS5 on Mac osX

    Hi All
    Nowadays, I'm facing a well known issue but not able to figue it out, is image link which are fine on windows but open same file on Mac osX truns on links missing.
    Path we do use cosists only forward slashes(/).
    Also, I think issue would have discussed on forum but I am not able to search forum for any issue and owner had unable search field also.
    So could some one guide me to search forum for issues. This would be a great help for everyone who would be searching forum.
    Mac

    Yes, Mark we are using 7.0.3 on both platforms.
    I'm not able to post screen shot for sample.
    Yes, I am using URI path(forward-slash) in my script but when I see link info in Link panel it shows windows specific path only.
    How can I change this after importing into document.
    Sorry... I'm not able to reach what does the mean of javascript tool guide statement
    If your application will run on multiple platforms, use relative path names, or try to originate path names
    from the home directory. If that is not possible, work with Mac OS X and UNIX aliases, and store your files
    on a machine that is remote to your Windows machine so that you can use UNC names.
    As an example, suppose you use the UNIX machine myServer for data storage. If you set up an alias share
    in the root directory of myServer, and if you set up a Windows-accessible share at share pointing to the
    same data location, the path name //myServer/share/file would work for all three platforms.
    Could you make it more clear.

  • How to create interactive links, using Adobe InDesign.

    After you create a book in InDesign and export as PDF, the links do not work, nothing happens. They are linked to each document individually.
    I need to work within the generated PDF.
    What to do?
    thank you
    <moved to the indesign forum by mod>

    What version of InDesign? What operating system? What kind of links did you make? What tool did you use? Did you export to PDF (Interactive)?

  • 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

  • Missing Links CS5/Win 7

    I replaced my XP PC and copied all docs, photos etc onto my new Windows 7 machine. My problem is that all previously created InDesign CS5 files now have missing links. Is there a work around or must I go through each document and solve the missing link issue, one link at a time?
    Bob

    They were not packaged Diane so it would seem the best solution would be to open each document on the old PC, package and save and then transfer the newly packaged file to the new PC?

  • Missing Links in InDesign CS3

    We are using InDesign CS3 and the program itself works good, the problem I'm having is all our data is located on a server and I have replaced the server with a new one, now when we open a document it has missing links and it takes forever searching for \\oldserver\pictures before popping up missing links where you then point it to \\newserver\pictures. My question is why does InDesign use the unc path and not mapped drive letters? Is there a way to fix this for future? Also is there anyway to fix previous short a fixing each and ever missing link? I see CS4 has the option to check links or not but I don't see any options for CS3. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Tony

    I'm not sure what that has to do with it? when opening up a documents it tries to resolve picture links the link pointing to \\oldserver\pictures (that server is no longer running) everything has been moved to \\newserver\pictures when the document finally opens you manually fix the links to point to new server save document then it opens fine the next time. I would rather have the links point to P:\Pictures as apposed to the unc path, the I wouldn't have this issue.
