Need to re-Link every Link in every InDesign document we own...
We keep all of our common files up on a server so that everyone in our department has access to everything at all times.
Our IT department has decided to migrate all of the Marketing Assets over to another server so every link in every InDesign file we have access to has to be re-Linked. The path for the most part will remain the same, just the root directory will change...
For example, where a file used to be located in
\\clients\marketing\common\logos\logo.eps
it will now be located in
\\newserver\marketing\common\logos\logo.eps
Is there any fast way to batch change all the links in every InDesign File? Is there a script out there that can help us or a third-party software that we can get our hands on to help us? This will take forever if we have to do it manually.
If anyone can help, we would appreciate it.
Thank you.
Here's a few ways I can think of:
You could, of course, just leave it to each operator to resolve the links every time a file is opened for the first time since the server migration.
You could also write/have written a script which would process folders full of InDesign files at some down time (e.g., over night) - opening each one, resolving links, and then saving it.
Or, if you are using InDesign CS3 or CS4, you could write/have written a script that would be attached to the document "Open" event to do that same thing. This would basically automate the idea #1.

Maximum number of pages and links in an InDesign Document
We have an InDesign document that is 79 pages, and contains about 700 image links and 700 text links. The links in total are about 7GB (most text documents are 2-6K; images could be anywhere from 1 to 50MB). the InDesign document is 220MB.
If we house the package of the InDesign Document and the links on a local machine, it takes our machine about 2 minutes to load the file for editing. If the packaged is housed on a NAS drive (BUFFALO TERASTATION using Gigabit), it takes 16 minutes to load.
I'm wondering if there is a set of "best practices" that suggests a limit to the size of the package, and if you exceed that limit, you should expect poor performance? (Like should we limit our documents to 10 pages and 1GB of links?)
Are we asking for trouble by having documents and links this large? or is there some network or settings or performance issues on our network and on our MACs that I should be looking at first?
Thanks for any comments or assistance.To answer in a simpler way:
Page number limit per document: 9999 pages
Link limit: your computer configuration (processor, ram, etc) determines it.
Remember, if u run very large documents, you need to upgrade your configuration accordly. If you not have enough available resources to run a job fast, its clear the computer/network needs an upgrade. There are models of HP computers that can reach 128gb of ram memory, and they are not server, they are workstations.
the other way is to avoid extra image data on links (large images in size, far from the output size) and work with the exact size you need, because this extra size can be the cause of the extra processing time.
"We "strive" to do the editing in PS, but often we have a PS file that we want to keep at 4x4 (for future or other purposes), but will place it in InDesign as 2x2 -- so we edit it in InDesign. Should we be creating a new 2x2 file for this one-time purpose?"
Thats the idea, (extra size = extra processing = extra time) X number of you images. -
Page number of linked textframe in indesign document
Hi,
My indesign document has linked pages 1 - 10 (ie., linked textframes). I want to take page number of selected text from 5th page., which textframe is linked textframe of 1st page. When i use the following code for findpage, its returning the page no 1 instead of 5.
Kindly reply for me...
var page = findPage(app.selection[0]); // selection is a word/para
function findPage(theObj)
var thePage = theObj;
if (thePage.hasOwnProperty("baseline"))
thePage = thePage.parentTextFrames[0];
while (thePage.constructor.name != "Page")
var whatIsIt = thePage.constructor.name;
switch (whatIsIt)
case "Story" :
thePage = thePage.textFrames[-1].parent;
break;
case "Character" :
thePage = thePage.parentTextFrames[0];
break;

Hyper links to another indesign document
Hi everyone I am currently working on a mobile app and I have a slight problem
So I have 2 sperate in design docs and i created a frame and convert it to a button.
What I wanted to do is place hyperlink on the button on one doc to goto next indesign doc.
when I use the hyperlink and select page browse to the doc it accepts it but when I test it it does not work.
I checked the crosslink on the button in which it goes to the doc I want but its not working when I test it to my iphone
I can see it bit not working.I'd like to expand the original question. The "navto://articlename method" worked for me. I can jump to another artical by making a button and adding a hyperlink to go to it. IT takes it to the first page. Here's my question: What if I have an artical that has multible pages and I what to target a particulur page or asset on that page. Lets say I want it to go to page 4 in that artical? I can't find a tutoral to show me howit's done.

Since upgrading to Firefox 4.0 I've been receiving irritating messages every time I click through via a link embedded in a document or an email. The message says "An error occurred in sending the command to the application". How can I remove it?
Certainly!
This is the module in our eMac 1.42:
1GB PC2700 DDR 333MHz CAS 2.5 184 Pin DIMM
The vendor, Other World Computing, ships to the UK but I suspect the shipping would make it pricy. I also trust this vendor:
Apple G4 eMac 1.42GHz (184 Pin PC2700 DDR DIMMs)
Between the two vendor's description, you should have a good idea of the Specs
PPC Macs do not like hi-density PC RAM. That's why I linked these two; they send the right stuff to Mac users.
Crucial UK is usually cited as good but, like their US counterpart, seldom go against Apple's outdated specs. See:
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=eMac%20(1.42GHz)&Cat=RAM
They show the max RAM for your model as 1GB--yesterday's news. However, if you order their offering for a G5 iMac, you get the larger modules. Here is a listing for a 2GB kit (2 x 1GB modules) of the right config:
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/listparts.aspx?model=iMac%20(G5-1.8GHz%2C%2020-i nch)&Cat=RAM
Hope this didn't muddy the water!

Consistently need to re-link footage
Every time I open this particular project, I need to re-link to footage. Its driving me crazy because I then need to re-render some pretty intensive render files. What can I do to prevent this in the future?
Try this...select all the clips in the browser, hit control, click on the clips and select 'Make Off-line' (You'll get a prompt...make sure 'Leave Them on the Disk' is selected), click OK.
Now, select all the clips and control-click/reconnect media. Choose 'Locate' not Search. Navigate to where you have the media stored, click on the first one that highlights and select Choose (make sure 'Matched Name Only ' has a checkmark)
Now close FCP, then re-open. Let us know if you still have to re-link.

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Wireless accesspoint needs to be reset every morning
We do have 2 airport extreme stations that needs to be reset every morning before users can connect to it.
We connected the airports to a UPS to see if the problem disappeared but it is still there.
One of the lights of the airport extreme is off (left)
by resetting the airport everything is back to normal.
the airports do have the latest software installed.
I do know there is a lot of interfearence in the building.
Could this be the cause or is it something else.I think I am having the same problem. Every morning and sometimes in the middle of the day when I leave my ocmputer for a few hours I have to restart my DSL modem and my airport as well as a router i have for my VONAGE phone. Everything is working correctly and connected correctly as well. It works fine but when i leave the computer for some time I lose my internet connection. I disconnected my airport entirely and just plugged the DSL directly into my computer and there was no problem so it is for sure some conflict with my airport extreme. I have the main base station which is the Airport Extreme and a express for my stereo and then another express in the back of the house extending the range.
It was all working perfectly when i first set it up but now this just started. i have been on the phone with vonage and with SBC for the dsl and the problem is not with their hardware. I tried calling Apple but they wanted $$ to even talk to me over the phone which I thought was pretty lame.
Can anyone offer suggestions that might help me?
thanks -
why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?
Hi Cyprus11,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,

White keyboard needs to toggle power every time computer is started
I need to toggle power every time computer is started. OSX doesn't 'see' the keyboard when restarting or starting.
ALSO
When running XP in bootcamp, I can get XP to 'see' the keyboard, but I can't get it to work at all.
Please help.Hello tak:
I am assuming your Bluetooth module is built-in.
There is no software setting to address what you describe. The KB may have a problem. However...
Instead of switching the device on and off, try tapping a key or two.
Try installing new batteries and/or removing and reinstalling them.
I do not run Windows (and never plan to do so) so I have no feedback on the XP issue.

I need a download link so I can re-install y registered copy of acrobat. Where can I find it?
Hi there,
1. You can get the download link for Adobe Acrobat pro XI, X, IX, VIII from [ http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html ].
Adobe does not have Adobe Acrobat Standard Version software for the download as a trial.

The website will :
