Image links missing when I open an indesign file on Mac, which was created under Windows (drive network and local copy)
Hello
I have the following situation:
InDesign files are created from Windows-InDesignServer via a Plugin for automation.
All clients work with a Mac. When they want to open a file, the plugin copy the file from the network drive to a local folder and opens the copy.
But in this way, all the links to the images get lost.
For example:
Windows - link of the original file:
\\myNetworkDrive\Data\Brands\alfa.AI
Mac - path that is displayed in the indesign palette:
/myNetworkDrive/data/brands/Alfa.AI
HD:myNetworkDrive: Data: Brands:alfa.ai Macintosh
The interesting thing is, if I open the file on the network drive, InDesign on Mac is able to find the links via the Windows paths.
But as soon as I copy locally, links are missing.
Y at - it features to store both Windows and Mac-paths in the link?
Or a Url scheme that works for both platforms?
...
I wrote a small javascript which reconstructed the missing links, but this is only a workaround for me.
Thanks in advance!
Create a symbolic link in the root directory did the trick:
CD /.
mkdir myNetworkDrive
ln-s/Volumes/Data/myNetworkDrive
In this way, the NetworkDrive is accessible as if it were on Windows:
CD/myNetworkDrive/Data /...
The only drawback is that it must be configured on each new customer. But that shouldn't be the problem.

Looking for images related to jump while opening the indesign file is prossible?
Hi all
My indesign document have 250 images. While I moved the indesign document to the other server. All images now are the missing links. While I open the indesign document looking for image links, this process is more time consuming to open the document.
I just want the linked file you are looking for and open the file. I have them then will be re-issued.

When I open a PDF using Firefox, some letters of the words that are printed on the document are missing. In my view, that the creator of the document used a text box to add 'Draft' on it. The D is missing. I found some words are 'Negotiable no copy' and the C is missing. These same files PDF open correctly in IE and Chrome. Experienced on V22 - V25. Using Windows7
Are there fonts embedded in the PDF file or the policy that is set as default in Options > content?
You can right click on the text and use "Inspect element" to open the built-in Inspector and navigate the tabs fonts to see what font is used.

Im making an animation frame-by-frame and today when I opened my objects of som of the project had changed position while others do not. This countinues throughout the chronology and sometimes they change position.
Here's before:
Here is after:
I think it has something to do with me changing the size of the documents. But it didn't happen yesterday when I made the change, just today when I opened the file again, and I can't change it back and make things right.
If anyone knows what happened and if I can fix it, it would mean a LOT to me.
There are really no way around to back up your files regularly.
Flash is unfortunately not the most stable program.
Make it a habit to save a new version every half hour, or so, which will limit your losses.
Think of it as a "warning shot" and consider yourself lucky that you have not the famous "flash could not open the file" message ;-)

Anyone who sees this same anomaly?
OK, we're almost. I suspect a graphics problem, but would you try a preferences reset everything first.

How to reset the workscreen in PS CS5 so it happens always full screen with tools, etc. Mine suddenly started showing only the image on a small frame when I opened the bridge. I have to slide the wide screen to work; and then do not show the names of the images I opened. I restarted. I quit and reopen PS I did cause it. How to return to the default I want?
Has not re - install. Seemed too complicated. Fished around with the program and set up a workscreen substitute that works well. Finally, I update and have it installed by a pro. Thanks for your help. Tom

All links are good. It is a simple file with images, a pane scroll and buttons that link to other articles.
Anyone experience this problem? All solutions?
Thank you!

Finder crashes when I open "All My Files.
Finder crashes when I open "All my files", all other folders is fine. If I login with another user, no problem. Help, please
Please launch the Console application in one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).
☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be all Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ all Messages
in the list of logs on the left. If you don't see this list, select
List of newspapers seen ▹ display
in the menu at the top of the screen bar.
In the upper right corner of the Console window, there is a search box to filter. Enter the name of the application crashed or process. For example, if Safari has crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes).
Each message in the journal begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages since the time of the last fall, as appropriate. Copy to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command + V.
The journal contains a large amount of information, almost everything that is not relevant to solve a particular problem. When you post a journal excerpt, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't dump blindly thousands of lines in the journal in this discussion.
Please do not post screenshots of log messages - text poster.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, clear the search box, and then select
DIAGNOSIS AND diagnostic USE information reports ▹ user
(not diagnose them and use Messages) in the list of logs on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points downwards. You will see a list of reports of incidents. The name of each report begins with the name of the process and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report on the process in question. The content of the report is displayed at right. Allows you to copy and paste to validate all of the content, text, not a screenshot.
I know that the report is long, perhaps several hundred lines. Please report all this anyway. If the report is only a few lines, make sure that you have disabled the search box.
If you don't see any report, but you know, he had an accident, you have chosen diagnostic and using the list of Log Messages. INFORMATION on the USE of DIAGNOSTIC AND choose instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you change the UUID ' anonymous, ' a long string of letters, numbers and dashes in the header of the report, if it is present (it cannot be). "
Please do not post other types of diagnostic report - they are very long and rarely useful.
When you post the journal excerpt or the accident report, you might see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the forum software. Thanks for posting the text on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.
If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.
