HowTo; Embedd all linked images

I'm looking for a quick and easy way to tell Illustrator to embed all linked images.

If you are providing a native Illustrator file to a printer, don't do this. The printer will prefer the images are provided as editable files.

Theres an opportunity to RESIZE all linked images to 100% of the frame?

Theres some third party plugins, but i dont find one which works well and support layered psd for example. i think its a basic function and it should have an native way to do that.
thanks a lot.

That's a very old school way of achieving things - namely Quark.
In the past it was necessary to resize all images to 100% @ the desired resolution.
InDesign gives 2 resolution views in the Window>Info panel for each image.
Actuall PPI and Effective PPI
Actual shows the actual amount of PPI - and Effective PPI shows the PPI of the image after scaling .
When you export the file to PDF you can choose the Compression of the image to any DPI you would like.
This means the same file can be used for
Newspapers
Brochures
Magazines
High-End print finishing
Each of the above have a unique LPI - which determines the optimum resoultion.
This way you don't end up with 4 different files for the same job.
Or worse - 16 incarations of the same image at different sizes for different outputs.

Linked Image file path cleanup

Regex frustrates me, especially with trying to work with slashes... I just haven't got it yet. I'm looking just for a code snippet to thrown in another clean up script I use. To standardize to UNC, as some templates were created on workstaions (also Mac vs PC) that were incositently mapped (i.e. W:/ or X:/ etc.). Blown a day messing with this so far, maybe reaching out for help would work... Thanks in advanced!
var gDoc = app.activeDocument;
var gLinks = gDoc.links;
var gCounter = 0;
     for (var i = gLinks.length-1; i >= 0 ; i--) {
          var currentLink = gLinks[i];
          var oldPath = currentLink.filePath;
          oldPath = oldPath.replace(/:|\\/g, "\/");
// Intention
// IF the drive letter W:/ or X:/ is used
// IF case is \\OHFILE02\Personalization\
// THEN
// REPLACE with \\ohfile02\Personalization\ (string replace: would be case sensitive, not just all to lowerCase)
// ALSO above would be for all linked images as it looks like it's looping through currentLink, is that correct?
Thanks again!

I don' t pretend to know all the ins and outs of this, but I've beat my head on the same wall to know that you have to use two slashes to find or replace one. In other words:
\\ = "\"
\/ = "/"
\\\\ = "\\"
I also know that you can use "/i" in the first part of the replace statement to make it case insensitive. "/gi" makes it global and case insenstive so:
oldpath.replace(/\\\\ohfile02\\Personalization\\/gi,"whatever")
should catch all variations of upper and lowercase, so you end up with "whatever\Personalization\"
As for the replace string, I think that what you type is what you get.

Linked image border

This is small but irritating issue. Ever since upgrading to
CS3,
whenever I add a link to an image Dreamweaver puts the blue
border
around it. I have to manually set the border to 0 in the
properties to
get rid of it. Like I say it's no big thing but just another
step I have
to do. I cannot find anything in preferences that would have
a no border
rule for linked images. In MX2004 there this was never an
issue, if you
wanted the border you had to manually set it.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Fred

Dreamweaver is actually not doing anything. What you're
seeing is normal
behaviour for linked images in some browsers such as IE when
no border
property is specified in CSS or HTML.
>> In MX2004 there this was never an issue,
That's because MX2004 used to automatically insert border="0"
as an HTML
attribute in the <img> tag as soon as you added a link
to the image (check
for "0" being inserted in the border field in the Property
Inspector next
time you use MX 2004).
DW is moving users ever more towards CSS-only formatting and
is dropping
HTML formatting of all kinds, which includes border="0" on
linked images.
To solve the issue with CS3, just add the line "a img
(border: 0; }" to an
external stylesheet which is linked to all pages in your
site. This will
tell all browsers to apply a zero border to any image inside
an <a> tag i.e.
all linked images

Hi all, when I open a New Tab pg all the images are blank - I've tried clicking on the blank images, & dragging a link from the Bookmarks, without success!

I want to achieve at least one of two things: either set New Tabs to open with Google automatically; or at least, to have Google pinned to the New Tab page. (Google is my home page.) When a new page opens, all the images are blank. I've read through the Help pages & tried various things. I've tried dragging Google from the Bookmarks to the New Tab, but this only opens Google. I've tried clicking on the blank images, but nothing happens. I've toggled the blank images off for now, so at least I don't need to look at them. I am doing a university course online, so efficiency is really important to me! Those extra clicks really add up & distract!... Thanks in advance :)

# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Type '''browser.newtab.url''', in the bar on the top of the page.
# Double click the first result, '''a new window should appear'''.
# Type '''www.google.com''' in the window, click ok.
# '''Open a new tab''', does it go to google?

How can i get all links from html file ?

I tried some code:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
HtmlWeb web = new HtmlWeb();
HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument doc = new HtmlAgilityPack.HtmlDocument();
doc.Load(filename, Encoding.UTF8);
var metaTags = doc.DocumentNode.SelectNodes("//meta");
if (metaTags != null)
foreach (var tag in metaTags)
if (tag.Attributes["name"] != null && tag.Attributes["content"] != null)
text = tag.Attributes["name"].Value;
mys = tag.Attributes["content"].Value;
var linksOnPage = from lnks in doc.DocumentNode.Descendants()
where lnks.Name == "a" &&
lnks.Attributes["href"] != null &&
lnks.InnerText.Trim().Length > 0
select new
Url = lnks.Attributes["href"].Value,
Text = lnks.InnerText
foreach (HtmlNode node in doc.DocumentNode
.SelectNodes("//a/@href | //img/@src"))
metas.Add(node.Name);
In the var linksOnPage i'm getting all the links but some of them not only links for example the first item i see:
[0] = { Url = "/", Text = "    " }
Then the second item:
[1] = { Url = "http://rotter.net/cgi-bin/forum/dcboard.cgi?az=login", Text = "התחבר" }
Next i want to add another loop or variable that will contain only the links after im src for example:
<img
src="http://mysite.com"
border="0"></a></TD><TD
ALIGN="right"
VALIGN="TOP"
WIDTH="55%">
So to get only http://mysite.com
So in the end i will have two Lists:
First List will contain all links from the html file.
Second List only links that are in img src

Ok i'm using regex now and i can get the links i need:
List<string> metas = new List<string>();
List<string> metas1 = new List<string>();
string text = "";
string mys = "";
public List<string> LockedThreads(string filename)
string[] fall = File.ReadAllLines(filename);
foreach (string hh in fall)
if (hh.Contains("http://rotter.net") && hh.Contains("locked")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_general") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("icon_anchor") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_fire") ||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_sport")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_camera")||
hh.Contains("locked_icon_movie"))
Regex linkParser = new Regex(@"\b(?:https?://|www\.)\S+\b", RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
foreach (Match m in linkParser.Matches(hh))
metas.Add(m.Value);
So now in the metas i have in this case two links.
For example the first link is from this block in the file:
The link i got is : http://rotter.net/forum/Images/hot_icon_anchor.gif
And this is the right link from this block but now how do i get the text from this block and how i connect how do i know that this text belong to the link ? I need to add this text from this block to a new List. Before all that i counted on my own lines
and got the text but that's a bad idea.
I need somehow to get: שרשור תשדירי בחירות מרוכז:
To get the text between the ToolTip',' and the second ',' but not from all the html file only in places of this two links i extracted.
<TD ALIGN="RIGHT"
VALIGN="TOP">
<body onmousemove="overhere()">

Can I move all my images to a different folder?

I started out my project just having the images automatically saved in the same folder as the website (using dreamweaver cs6). Now I'm realizing that I'm probably going to want all those images in an images folder inside my site project because when I move the project to my online server I don't want all the images there in the root.
Obviously, if I just move the images in windows explorer to a folder the pages I created won't be able to find them. Does DW have a way to move all the images so that it automatically changes the references with it?

Use DW's Files Panel (F8) to create a new folder. Right click on site root and select New Folder.
Then then click and drag your .jpg and .png files to that new folder. Assuming your site is properly defined, DW will prompt to update link paths for you. Click yes.

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Nope. Some show - some don't.

Outlook not seeing link images

Hello All and Happy Friday (the 13th buwahaha)
OK, issue
Outlook 2010 and 2013 (Exchange Accounts)
Users get emails html formatted. Outlook displays the red x with the message "The linked image cannot be displayed. The file may have been moved, renamed, or deleted. etc..."
However, OWA displays it properly, so do the phones.
This leads me to believe it is proxy related. Now my problem comes in with the knowledge that we are using a Cisco IronPort as our proxy, we don't even configure the browsers for it... Just catches it.
I've tried every fix I can find and none have resolved the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
I actually found a kb about this issue:
Images in email message disply a "red x" instead of the image if the Cache value in the registry is incorrectly configured
This problem occurs if there is incorrect registry data for the Cache
value under the following registry key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Important
Follow the steps in this section carefully. Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Before you modify it,
back up the registry for restoration in
case problems occur.
To resolve this problem, use the following steps to manually edit the data for the Cache value in the registry.
Exit Outlook if it is running.
Start Registry Editor.
Windows 8
On the Desktop, press the Windows key + X and click
Run . Type regedit in the Open box, and then press ENTER
Windows 7 or Windows Vista
Click Start , type regedit in the Start Search
box, and then press ENTER.

Exporting linked images with overlays

Hi,
I'm using InDesign CS5.5 on OS X Lion.
I have linked images in my InDesign document that I want to export as JPG and maintain the original file naming scheme. That part is easy (export as HTML, look in the images folder; export as ePUB, look in the images folder of the archive; etc.). But what I'm struggling with is when there are overlays added in InDesign. Some examples of overlays: part labels (e.g., "a", "b", "c"), text labels, arrows, lines, etc. The only way I've found to export the overlays is to do this:
-Group the placed image and overlay items together
-Apply Object Export Options to the grouped item such that Custom Rasterization is checked
-Export via one of the options (e.g., HTML, ePUB)
I get one image per group, which is what I want. The problem is that the filename for that image is now a random number. What I really need is the filename for the original image to be used.
I've also tried exporting to other formats, e.g., PDF (and using the extract all image options) but that doesn't preserve the overlays in the extracted images (which makes sense since the PDF sees the letters as text).
I figure to do this I have to write a script. So before I embark on that quest, I was hoping to get opinions on whether a) such a script is possible and b) whether there is a better way. For specific workflow considerations, moving the adding of these overlays to the images outside of InDesign (e.g., via Photoshop) is not an option.
I envision a script that does the following:
-Set custom rasterization on every grouped object
-Export all grouped objects and other linked images as JPG (with certain settings)
-The exported images for the links would preserve the original filename (adding "_fmt" like InDD does now would be okay) and for the grouped items it would use the filename of the linked image that is part of the group (and fallback to a random number if there is no such image). In the case that the filename could not be specified, then embed the original filename of the linked image in the group
Obviously, if a script could also do the grouping of objects (e.g., finding a linked image, checking to see if there is anything on top of it, grouping it all together), then that would be even better, but I'm not holding my breath. :-)
Thanks,
Steve

This is where the Adobe DNG could shine.
http://www.adobe.com/products/dng/index.html
Worth the read ... this can save the changes that one
makes.
DNG does NOT help in this case.
There is a huge misunderstanding that this is part of what DNG can or should do.
But if you think about it, what good are the adjustments being stored in DNG if you have to use a particular program to open it anyway?
Think about Aperture's Edge Sharpen for a second. Lets say you store that value in a DNG. Fine, what other program is going to able to reproduce that result EXACTLY to how you were previewing it at 100% on your monitor?
Lighroom is trying to do something along these lines by passing editing commands off to Bridge through DNG. But here you run into another problem - it constrains what editing any one program can do. If Lightroom is limited to only ever having editing commands that are the same as what Bridge offers, and no other program on earth supports them, then what have you really accomplished? Will unknown editing commands simply be dropped without warning?
That's why I think simply exporting projects, which hold master images alongside sidecar files (very like XMP) that describe edits are about as good as you are going to get. If you want to truly preserve editing work and you care about quality, nothing beats a TIFF file where 100% of the pixels are exactly as you reviewed them during editing. I personally trust Aperture enough to back up master images along with edits, and am fine with that.

InDesign. Is it possible to flattern linked images?

Quick question..
Is it possible to flatten or merge linked images in InDesign, rather than package or preflight which would double up on the size of images stored on our system. Also to solve the problem if images were moved or deleted.
thanks
Charlotte

My typical workflow would not be working from a server. I find that server lags can crash indesign, and that's particularly bad if you're in the middle of saving a file.
What I find better here is to work on all files locally. When the job is finished it's packaged up to the server. Unfortunately the image data has to be included somewhere, whether as links or physically embedded in the file.
You need to figure out if you need to keep hi-res images of the files. What you can back up on the server etc.
Is it just the size that's an issue?

Linked images do not load in my website

Hi all,
I built my website in Photoshop and Flash Catalyst. My site takes forever to load and my linked images do not load when they should. Can someone please help me with getting the load time down and loading the liked images. I linked them because I though that would cut down on the load time, but when I click the thumbnail the images doesn't appear right away it takes a while. What am I doing wrong? I really need to get my portfolio up. Also how small should my swf file be right now it's at 8.79MB. I am a designer and new to Flash Catalyst so any suggestions will help. Thanks!

Here's a super post from FlashCats:

Linked images not showing

Hi,
We're running Illustrator CS4 across a suite of 12 Macs on OS X 10.6.8. Over the last couple of weeks, several accounts have been hit with the same problem, that linking an image in an Illustrator document will not show the images, but just a bounding box. The link information is correct, but I've found no way of getting the image to show, aside from embedding it. Furthermore, saving a document in this state will cause Illustrator to crash when trying to reopen the document.
We use network accounts for the Macs, so all installs are local on each machine, but users access their profile directly from our server. Therefore, all links reference a location on our network and not the local drive. However, there does not seem to be anything wrong with the installs as the issue is with accounts and not the individual client. Once the issue occurs for a user, it occurs on any Mac they log into, while unaffected users can use any Mac without issue.
Our network has run in this state for a year now and the problem has only surfaced recently. I've tried clearing user's preference files relating to Illustrator, but this has had no effect. It's also random when creating a new user on the network, as some will have the issue and others not, despite all being created with the same set of default preferences.
If anyone has come across anything similar, or has any idea of what to look at with this, I'd be very grateful for some help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response. First of all, you'll have to excuse me if I get a few points wrong, as I'm not too familiar with Illustrator. However, in answer to your questions;
The layers panel is showing "<Linked File>" next to an empty white box.
Turning off preview does show the boxes you describe.
I've no idea how to go about checking if an image is beyond the mask bounds. However, I've used the same image for testing across accounts and it displays fine on those that aren't having this issue.
Also, in the top left corner of Illustrator, the name os the linked image does display and the options available when clicking that do seem correct and working. Relinking from there does nothing, but I can open the image for editing etc. None of this helps in getting the image to display though.
As for the server side, we have always used a Mac server at the same version as the clients.
Thanks,
Simon
