Maintain Linked Graphics in document files

I would like to use SharePoint to maintain version control on documents that retain linked graphics. Does SharePoint have a means to maintain the linking of image files in these type of publications? Is there a workflow that we can use for
this purpose? I'd like to use SharePoint as our main version control application if it has the linking capability.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to maintain the linking to the image files after you update the documents with graphics linking to SharePoint library.
Per my knowledge, when you add graphic linking in Word, it causes Word to create an active link between the graphic in your document and the original graphic file. After you upload the document to SharePoint library, if other users view the document in other
machine, it may not find the path, which fails to display the image.
As a workaround, you could insert the graphic file to your document, which displays fine in SharePoint library.

Custom Metadata panel to show linked graphics from InDesign files?

Hello all,
I'm looking to create a custom Metadata panel to show linked graphics from InDesign files. I'm not even sure if this is possible. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I figure if you can see the fonts used in an InDesign file, you should probably be able to pull the links, right?
Thanks for any and all help!

Have you tried trashing the prefs? See Replace Your Preferences
And of course it's essential that the links be up to date.

Link to other document files

How to link a PDF, word, & Excel file in fla by clicking

A separate window should open for the linked document with
the swf file still open in the background.

Does
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("my.pdf"),"_blank");
do the job? If you need to control the size of the opened
window then you would have to call a JavaScript function.

Importing Graphics - Word 2008 to InDesign - Maintaining links?

Hi!
I have an issue where documents are prepared in MS Word 2008 (Mac OS 10.5.7) and then imported/placed into InDesign CS3. The word document has inline graphics which are placed into InDesign as embedded images, however I want them to remain unembedded and linked to the original graphic files when the word doc is imported into InDesign (I have all the graphics in a sub folder within the same folder as the word doc and the InDesign file).
Under InDesign CS2 with Word 2004 I could import a word doc into Indesign and maintain links to graphics (rather than embedded graphics) as long as the graphics were inserted into MS Word via 'Insert > Picture > From File" and then I Ticked 'Link to File' and unticked 'Save with document'. I have done exactly the same thing with MS Word 2008 but I get embedded empty graphics frames in Indesign rather than links to the images.
I then tested Word 2008 with Indesign CS2 and still had the same problem, so am now wondering if it is an issue with Word 2008 or the newer OS?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

Thanks Bob.
This has made me realise that the documents are being supplied to me as .doc rather than .docx even though they are being created in MS Word 2008 (they have a compatibility setting so that they save as an earlier word version - I need to resolve this).
Am I correct in assuming from what you have said that if I have got the images at the quality I want when they are linked into the Word document they will firstly not lose any quality in Word and secondly when they are embedded in the InDesign document there will be no loss of quality?
I ask this question because basically I am regularly updating large online PDFs - starting with an MS Word master and then importing this into InDesign, making layout adjustments and then exporting to PDF. I therefore need to make the process as quick as possible (which I have done through a number of Applescripts) and one of the things I want to speed up is to have to manually go through and relink the images each time. So either I need some quick way of linking the images, OR (if I've understood you correctly) not worry about relinking the images because there is no loss of quality from when we link and embed the graphics in MS Word to when they become embedded in InDesign? This would mean the only time I would have to relink the images is when we do a printed version (which requires better quality images)???

How do I maintain bookmarks in multiple documents when exporting a book file to PDF?

I am using a book file to organize 10 individual indesign documents. Each document has its own set of bookmarks and links, and their are links that go to other documents within the book as well. How do I (using CS3) print my book file to PDF while maintaining all the interactive components? I want my complete list of bookmarks to appear within the bookmark pane, and I want all of the interactive links in the document to work when they are clicked in the PDF. Doing this for one document is simple, set the preferences to enable the bookmarks and links. However, none of these PDF export settings seem to work when printing the entire book.
Help!

I had it open, just wasn't looking in the right spot. Found it... thanks a bundle. This has made my day... as long as the bookmarks work when I export.
Thanks!

Is it possible to link and update external files in a Indesign document when sharing the Indesign file in Creative Cloud with multiple users?

I am new to Creative Cloud, but have been using Adobe software for many years.
Now we are considering sharing an Indesign file with my project group using CC.
The Indesign file contains links to external files (one Illustrator and multiple .txt files); and we export the approved version to an Hi-Res PDF.
These .txt files are currently hosted on our internal server but have not been linked directly: we first copy them over to local desktop and update the links in Indesign before creating a new PDF.
Since these file can be update by different people we would like to keep them outside the Indesign and Illustrator files.
Is it still possible with CC to link directly to the files on our server in Indesign and see if there have been updated?
Or can they also be stored in the CC cloud? Or is there another method?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
Ronald

This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

Rahul

@endThe problem occurs for files that are processed by an Archive job -> export and import. We have used this archive several times in the past few weeks with no problems. All of the sudden today we are seeing issues. No config changes or anything else have been made to the servers or app.
Here are the settings of that archive:
Export Data*
Export options -
-Replace Existing Export Files: Yes
-Copy Web Content: Yes
-Export Table Only: No
Import Options:
-Override Action:Insert Revision
-Import Valid Only:No
-Translate Date:No
Export Query:
Account is: <account number for the spaces' UCM folders & files>
Query Options:
Allow Export of Published Revisions (yes)
Latest Revisions (yes)
(all other settings unchecked)
Import Maps*
All - Role Access List - <$strReplace(strLower(xClbraRoleList),"radissonblumoa_","radissonblumoa_")$>
Replication (NOT USING THIS)*
Transfer To (NOT USING THIS)*
When we check in an updated version of any of these documents into UCM the problem is fixed for that file only. If we then delete that new revision the problem reappears. At this point we are really not confident in using this Archive for anything because we have proven through multiple tests that archiving documents causes this problem. We are hesitant to use Archiver tool at all right now because of this, but again more so just wondering if any of our settings could have caused this?
Any advice much appreciated. We have been working on this since 8am and will be here until it is resolved. We have an escalated SR on it but no progress in the past few hours.
Is there an easy way to force all files to create new revision? This would solve the problem temporarily so that we can go home and work on this tomorrow.
Cheers,
S

Hi ,
Collections table gets added usually when we create the archiver collection from Folder Structure Archive . This is used to move Folders and it's contents from 1 server to the other .
Not sure how all the archive collections have got added with this table , but it seems there is something that has changed on the archiver because of which this issue is showing up . Now the issue with 1 file was resolved in this manner :
1. Did a Update from Content Information Page - Submit (without any changes) and then did archiver run for that file again .
2. On the archiver side had changed the settings to :
Allow Published contents
All Revisions (earlier this was Latest revisions only)
Not sure if the same above settings / steps was done while doing the resubmit through archiver .
Based on the above steps had done a simple export - delete - import (Note : Did not do the Content Information - Update - Submit action) but that still showed the issue , it seems this was the step done afterwards which resulted in the issue showing up again .
But having said that it seems a pretty strange issue as in I am still trying to figure out why the webcenter spaces access is showing the HDA file (indicating the file is not in the ucm system) .
Thanks

Smart collection of image files linked to InDesign documents?

I would like to create a Smart Collection that finds all of the image files linked to InDesign documents in a specific folder.
I am the yearbook advisor at school and I need to easily find all of the images that have been placed so that we don't reuse images by mistake.
I have no scripting experience, so I can't create something myself, and I haven't been able to find anything that does such a thing.
Many yearbook design software programs do offer something like this - indicating that an image has been used previously.
I guess it would need to look at the metadata of the InDesign Files for the Linked Files and then pit all of the files found there into a Smart Collection. Ideally, I would be able to further limit it by file type. ANd to not include Master pages if so desired (although that would just be a bonus!)
I greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can give.
Thanks!

I'd be glad to give it a shot, even though I'm a beginner (and I am afraid I am out of my depth), but i'm missing something obvious because I could download and install the script, but if I try to open it to edit it, I just get gobbeldygook. Any chance you could paste the script here?
Again, I really appreciate your help.

SharePoint 2010 document broken link due to unrecognized File protocol: ms-word

Please help point me in the right direction. I checked the File association on Internet settings and document type docx is associated with Word, but it won't open. What do I need to change?
I received the following information when I clicked on the troubleshoot link:
Windows has the following information about this Protocol. This page will help
you find software needed to open your file.
Protocol Type: ms-word
Description: UnKnown
Windows does not recognize this Protocol.

Title: SharePoint 2010 document broken link due to unrecognized File protocol: ms-word
Please help point me in the right direction. I checked the File association on Internet settings and document type docx is associated with Word, but it won't open.
Try refining this symptom description. What exactly do you mean by "it won't open"? Answering that might explain why you are posting this in an IE forum. E.g. right-click, Copy Shortcut whatever it is that you are calling
a "broken link" and Paste it here.
Otherwise, try right-click, Save target as... to put the file into your Downloads (Ctrl-j) and then use right-click, Properties to find its
full path and name. Note that that would be quite different from what the Copy Shortcut step would have shown.
Next I suspect that the Set Associations GUI tool may not be showing you the correct information. FWIW it certainly doesn't show me the correct information in W8.1. So, I would try checking if you have an explicit association and file type combination
by using the assoc and ftype commands in a cmd window. In fact, instead of just showing the ftype for the current association I would use this:
ftype | find /i "word"
Then you could take the most appropriate template (not necessarily the one pointed to by the assoc command) and fill it in on a Run... dialog (or a cmd window command line if you also went back to ensure that the implied program
would be found by your PathExt shell variable.) Etc.
Doing that would make your symptom description independent of IE. All it would have done for you is download the file. If you couldn't open it then it would be because either the file was saved incorrectly (in which case you could rename it)
or it was bad.

How can I create a link to a pdf file and show it in the same webpage or in a new tab

It is no problem to create a link. But the formats are limited and - unbelievable - the pdf format is not supported??!
Where are the parameter (_blank or _self) to show it for example in the same webpage or in a new tab??!

PDF is media. It is not a web document. Your end users must have plug-ins and helper apps installed on their device to see PDFs in browsers. Depending on their settings, the PDF file may or may not launch in the browser window. On my system, PDF files download and launch inside Acrobat Professional; not my browser.
The safest approach is to provide a screenshot on your page with a direct link to the PDF file so people can handle it as they wish. See example: http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/

Strategy&word documents files

i have 3 questions
1. the strategy as i understand is a common interface being implemented by more than one class .. and there is a class (which is the strategy) that will instanciate one object of one of those classes (that implement the interface) everytime called.. did i understand the strategy right ??
2. what is a composit .. can someone explain it with an easy example please ?
3. i wrote a document using microsoft word as my user manual, it contains links within the document.. how can i view it in java with maintaining the links? can i run the MS word with the file as a parameter (if so then how?) or is there any better way ?
thanks for helping

Hello,
1) Your understanding of strategy is not entirely correct. Though, operationally you are accurate in saying what you have. A strategy is a concept, that encapsulates an algorithm i.e. logic. Strategy is used in many circumstances, one example is when we want the logic applicable on a data set to vary conditionally (as you may have observed, a simple if..else could be used in this situation, however, that is the point of using a strategy, encapsulating the concern of varying logic).
2) A composit, as the name suggests, is an entity which is composed of many other entities. You can view composit being constructed of smaller entities with various functions, whose total behavior is the composits behavior. It is mostly used when we want to combine together behavior of many concerns together and is most often used in combination with another patter, the "Deligate", where each of the smaller entities take responsibility to do a specific part of the Composits total behavior (this behavior should not be confused witha Proxy or Facade :D)
3) I do not know of a direct way (without going into the encoding of MSWord i.e. RTF) to do this, what I can suggest, however, is to convert the document into an HTML and view it from a Java application (the conversion can be done by MSWord quite easily).
Hope this helps.
