Image link reference?

Hello,
does anybody know how can i find full reference of link object properties for itemLink?
For now I know properties like:
- name
- filePath
- linkXmp.description
- linkXmp.author
are there more?
is there a way to get the raw data from XMP?
is there a way to get link dimentions (original)?
bye

It doesn't matter if it's a tiff file or not (in the general case). 'tiff' is
just the de facto namespace where these properties can be found.

Kasyan gave you a link for the JS part.
For the XMP stuff:
Adobe has published a set of XMP Specification docs and guides. These are very
helpful. Google is your friend.
The site for exiftool (and the tool itself) will provide you with more info than
you could ever want about metadata.
And I have some code here that you might find useful for working with XMP data:

  • [FM11] Print Image Link and Index Markers with specific Character Style

    Hello,
    I'm new with scripting for Framemaker. I want to export FM docs to RTF so I can import these into InDesign. For the placed images I want to insert a text line that is showing the image link (reference). Besides that I want to show the Index Markers at the mark insertion position with a different Character Style. Can someone help me with that?

    Hello Sjoerd,
    One note about your method to retrieve all linked graphics: this will also process the graphics that might be linked into the master and reference pages. Just to be safe against unwanted side effects you should restrict your list of graphics to the ones in the main flow of your document.
    About the tLoc: you are really looking for the anchor of the anchored frame that contains graphic. It is a little confusing that FM calls both the anchored frame and the imported graphic by the same name. Even if you add an anchored frame to the text to put an equation or a text box in your document, the anchored frame will show up in the linked list of graphics in the document. If you do have an anchored frame containing an imported graphic file, you have a list of graphic objects inside the anchored frame, which itself appears in the list of graphic objects of the document.
    This function should do what you want to do:
    function ListGraphics(doc)
              var aframe = doc.FirstGraphicInDoc;
         while (aframe.ObjectValid()) {
             if (aframe.constructor.name == "AFrame") {
                                            graphic = aframe.FirstGraphicInFrame;
                 if ( graphic.type == Constants.FO_Inset )
                                                 doc.AddText ( aframe.TextLoc, graphic.InsetFile );
             aframe = aframe.NextGraphicInDoc;
    I assume you will also want to remove the anchored frames (the imported image files) from the text. This can be done in the same routine, but you must first catch the following element in the linked list of graphics in the doc before you can delete the current one. Otherwise you will only remove the first and end up with an invalid object. The easiest and safest method to do this is to create an array of elements to be deleted. After ending the while loop, you delete those objects. The full code looks like this:
    function ListGraphics(doc)
              var toDelete = [];
              var aframe = doc.FirstGraphicInDoc;
         while (aframe.ObjectValid()) {
             if (aframe.constructor.name == "AFrame") {
                                            graphic = aframe.FirstGraphicInFrame;
                                            if ( graphic.type == Constants.FO_Inset ) {
                                                           doc.AddText ( aframe.TextLoc, graphic.InsetFile );
                                                           toDelete.push ( aframe );
           aframe = aframe.NextGraphicInDoc;
              for ( i = 0; i < toDelete.length; i++ ) {
                             toDelete[i].Delete();
    This works on a small test file I created. If you need more support, feel free to contact me: jang at jang dot nl

  • 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).

  • How to change the path of sysprep files that were copied to reference computer when i capture the image from reference.

    Dears ,,
    how to change the path that sysprep were copied to reference computer when i capture the image from reference.
    Should i modify some codes in LTIAPPLY.wsf? how to modify it?
    Thanks.

    Sysprep and capture has *Three* steps.
    1. Run sysprep on the local machine (easy).
    2. Copy WinPE down to the local machine so we can reboot into winpe for capture.
    3. Capture the drive in an *offline* state from within WinPE.
    What is most likely happening is that you are having problems with step #2. 100MB is *WAY* too small to copy down WinPE. By default MDT will make this System partition much bigger, 499MB. IF you install Windows 7 from the default media. IT will only create
    a 100MB partition.
    By default MDT 2012 Update 1 and greater *should* recover to a fallback drive with the OS on it, however if you are running older versions that might not happen correctly.
    If you are still having problems, copy your BDD.log file to a public share like OneDrive and copy the link here.

  • Intermittent image link behaviour in iOS mail client

    We use image links with a mailto reference for mobil approvals. For some reason the links occasionally do not behave as links but instead are processed only has an image, meaning the save image / copy menu pops up opposed to an email draft. I have stripped the html email down to the bare minimum but still happens. Same mail works fine on some phones/ipads. Any thoughts much appreciated.

    I have the same problem. iPhone 4 is on iOS 5.1 (9B176) and iPad 2 on iOS 5.1 (9B176). I have seen someone with an iPhone 4S that apparently did not have that problem (there the menu also has an "open" option). Also I noticed that if you touch the icon before the image has finished loading (so with a very large image), it actually does open the URL, but once the image has been loaded, it assumes that you want to save or copy the image.

  • 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 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 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.
