Is it possible to print or extract the links Panel?

Sorry to be so long getting back to you. I said that it was a basic script! All links in the doc, I wanted to analyze were image files - none of the vector graphics. There is therefore no provision for these. Graphic vector (and in PDF, for that matter) have no resolution, therefore there script errors. I'll try to post a revised, including the scaling (i.e. the size of the image relative to its original size in %, regardless of the setting, in that it is).

// LinksReport.jsx
// An Indesign CS3 JavaScript by Loic_aigon November 2008
// Amended 14 July 2009
// This script scans links in a document and produces a spreadsheet
// (CSV) giving the document name, the linked file name, the page on which
// it is found, its dimensions, effective PPI and scaling.
// Links in rotated frames may give odd results.
// See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/288626

if(app.documents.length!=0)
{
 if(app.activeDocument.links.length!=0)
 {
  var s = "DocName, LinkName, Page, ImgWidth, ImgHeight, X-Res, Y-Res, X-Scale, Y-Scale";
  var doc = app.activeDocument;
  var doc_name = doc.name;
  var shortdocname = doc_name.split(".indd")[0];
  var lks = doc.links;
  var link_name; var pg_nb; var img_width; var img_height;
  var x_res; var y_res; var x_scale; var y_scale; var lk; var feedAline;
  var myarr = [];
  var tempstring ="";
  for(i=0; i
See if it works for you.

Links NOT alert missing images and not in the links Panel
 
			 
Don't know if this is a consequence to move my files and account across to a new Mac Pro and re-configuration of hard disk locations where files image linked, but... I'm working on a document which lasted from systems - come finally to an end, and I write PDF printing and found this problem.
InDesign CC 9.2.1 running on the Mavericks 10.9.2 NOT indicate images missing links in the links Panel. In fact it is not showing the image on the page is still in the document - it does not appear in the links Panel, although I can see the image on the page.
I noticed this when there is evidence verifying a high-resolution PDF print, and the picture looked at low resolution. weird, but should not.  I went back to InDesign file to query the image, and found when I clicked it, it has not been highlighted in the links Panel - where I active warnings, IPR and other columns so I can quickly check problems. It was not at all here. InDesign seems to be blind to the image.  When I right click on images of rogue on the page I do not get the "Graphics" section at the bottom of the drop-down list as I do with images okay.  I guess because InDesign doesn't even know it's there?
Basically, the image is visible on the page, but InDesign doesn't know...  What gives?  I'll have to go through a long document now by clicking on each image to verify it is showing in the links Panel, and then re-release of links each image that seems to be completely lost as much as InDesign is concerned not even knowing it's there.
I have "reset all warning dialogs. Made no difference.
I worry about what other files will do it for me now and how much time will be lost carefully checking validity of each image.

By clicking on the image does not show in the links Panel
 
			 
Has this changed?
When I click on an image (within a framework of) the selected image used to be highlighted in the links Panel, so you can easily identify what image you are using.
This does not happen on my version (v11.4.0.90). I guess this or has this already happened?

ID CC 2015 links not showing in the links Panel
 
			 
In the two last weeks showed no link in the links Panel in any document. The Panel is just completely empty.
Things I've tried:
Trashing preferences. (Yes. Twice.) Restart the system, etc.
Saving a document as IDML - has no effect.  On the already placed or newly placed images.
All the images are placed not glued. I tried to place keyboard cmd to place pictures or by drag-and - drop from the finder or bridge - makes no DIF. In addition, if the images on my hard drive or on a server does not appear either differentiate.
Far as I can tell I have no extensions corrupt or add ons to the system. (Although I don't honestly know what to look for).
The fonts are all OTF and not those of eccentric, I'm under Extensis Suitcase, although it was never a question of the end.
Opening the exact same file IDML in ID 2014 shows the links in the links Panel as per normal. I am running the same plugin Multi-Find/Change in both versions of ID so it can't be that.
It must be something with CC 2015.
Any ideas?
			 
The first time you used the manual method of replacement prefs. Please try, as I asked earlier, using the shortcut method.
On a Mac, you should be able to hold the 4 keys down while you start InDesign, you don't need the speed.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
The location of the link is no longer present in the links Panel
 
			 
I used to be able to move my mouse over the name of the file in the links Panel and a little pop up would come with the location of the image. It seems that it works, which is frustrating, because it would give me a description longer where was the link. Which shows the link information in the Panel is too few characters to really find in my server. Any ideas why it does not work? I have CC Indesign on Mac 10.10.4 2015.
			 
It works for me with the same configuration.

How to navigate through all of the links in the links Panel in the user interface?
 
			 
Hello world
I wonder how I can browse all the links in the links Panel, programmatically. I have a document where the resources present in this Panel are not available using the ILinkManager. He tells me there are no links in the document when using ILinkManager-> GetLinkCount().
These resources are not more related to any element on the page. These are images which are not more related to what it is. Right-click on it and click on 'join the link' shows nothing in the document (the same operation on a resource that is linked to a graphic image focuses on it). I can manually re-edit the link, but nothing more.
In the user interface, there is no way to delete (not menu 'remove' or whatever).
I think I "created" them as follows: during the creation of the story, the story is tagged. Then I attach a picture frame and label it in the history. Then I remove the frame (s) containing the history, so that its history xml is "not placed" (see kXMLUnplaceCmdBoss). At this time (if I'm not mistaken), I created these inaccessible resources. I see the xml story unplaced in the structure of the document that remains not placed XML (in the backup store) and resources in the links Panel.
History unplaced XML CAN be removed manually, but not these inaccessible resources. However, there must be a way, as InDesign can display them.
How to reach these 'lost' resources and delete them, by programming?
			 
Independent of your real problem, I would first try the equivalent in the user interface.
Preparation:
To simplify things and make them visible, working on a traditional tale - not the backup store.
The story should be labeled and will remain so.
Add content as complicated as you want.
Some content preceding and behind it must survive.
Your content must be labeled - surrounded by a single label.
Text-Select this unique tag (see the invisible etc for the right selection).
Remove the text selection.
See: Tags are gone, content text disappeared, the images have disappeared.
Now find a way to perform this deletion text programmatically. Without specific code XML - operation but a simple text, InDesign will do the rest.
Finally, use the code that results on the backup store.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Question of the links Panel
 
			 
In the last few weeks every old and new document created, my links will not see the - up in the links Panel. I messed around with preferences panel and document preferences and I can't figure out the problem. I work in InDesign CC Mac 9.1. Thank you!

How can I remove a link in the links Panel?
 
			 
I moved an item out of the folder of links on a project that I train in IDCC and opening of the project he said, rightly, that a link is missing. When I go in the links Panel, I see the alert that the bound element is missing, that I know, and I want to remove the link in the links Panel, but do not see any option to do this, also the delete key does nothing when the item is highlighted and do a right-click (^ click) don't offer no delete choice either. How can I remove this item in the links Panel?
TIA,
Ken
			 
You must remove it from the page of the document where it was placed.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
How should I get the images to open in their initial applications to the links Panel?
 
			 
Before moving on to my new Mac, I was able to open files in their original applications when I clicked on the edit the Original button at the bottom of the links Panel. But now everything - TIFF, EPS, and PDF - opens in preview mode before because it's the default application to open files of any link and it's really frustrating. How can I change so I can open Photoshop files in Photoshop, Illustrator EPS and PDF files in Acrobat. I know I can always go to the drop down menu to choose Edit with..., and then choose an application but I'm so used to click the button modify the Original.
			 
In the graph select Finder, command prompt I (file > Get Info) open with: desired application and select "replace all".
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Any way to export several columns in the links Panel?
 
			 
This was posted on the InDesign forum, suggested that there could be a script that could achieve this?
Work on a manual with hundreds of illustrations. Each chapter has up to 100.  Need to get more than one column of data (file name and # it appears on the page) exported from the links Panel (in a sorted order) so they can be recessed into a spreadsheet. I use TextWrangler which will clear out all the names of files in a folder, but it sorts alphabetically and I really want them sort by Page numbers where they appear.
			 
This script creates a CSV file on the desktop that you can import into Excel. The name of the file is the same as the name of the indesign document active.

JS for images selected in the LINKS Panel
 
			 
Hi, anyone know of a JS to get the images properties e.g.name as selected (highlighted) in the LINKS Panel?
Thank you.
			 
If there is exactly a link selected, you can use this technique for the link:
try {app.menuActions.item ("go to Link") .invoke () ;} catch (e) {};}
Who will choose the bound element and so you can review the selection to get the information you want.
If you use a non-English version of InDesign, you will need to locate this string.

Hp psc 1210v all-in-one has the possibility to print back to the front?
 
			 
My hp psc 1210v all-in-one still works and it makes me crazy that this printer is able to print back to the front. I'm also disturbed that there is no software print double don't face as with the new hp printers.
Is it just me or this printer would be perfect if it had these features?
			 
Thanks for the help.
The link that you sent me was not big, but I looked around, in the Advanced preferences and realized that I was able to change the order of printing under layout options. I just had to click the underlined "front to back" and then I could easily switch to 'Back to Front '.
In regard to feature double-sided, I'm looking for... I want to talk about the functionality of software (not hardware) which have more modern printers. As for my HP Photosmart D110, when I go to Preferences, on the right side there is an option for "print on both sides to save paper. This is the software update, I want for my psc 1210v. I would like to be able to select the option "manual" under the "print on both sides to save paper.
Thank you.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
I have deleted the HP Smart Web Printing (but kept the link) and now I don't know how to get it back.
 
			 
I had Microsoft Updates-ITMU 23 and 12 did not update. I am 73 and not very computer. I finally (discovered by chance) at least part of the problem, is that I must have installed Explorer 9. He told me to update to a new driver/software. I tried to do it step by step and this is where I deleted the smart Web printing. On the second try to fix it, it would not update because he says, it does not support 64 bit (which I have). We assume that 32-bit. Help. I can't figure out how to get my smart web printing back. In addition, I don't know how to recover my system to an Explorer from the lowest since apparently I was 9.
			 
Hello BarbG,
Let us know how it turns out after that Geek Squad is done with your computer. Since there are other issues past with your computer, that they could have connected HP Smart Print issues as well. However, if they get everything fixed and you continue to have problems with smart printing software HP (or any other product of the HP) do not hesitate to come back and we will help you as best we can!
Good luck!
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
text appears as link in the links Panel.
 
			 
How can I ask Panel LINKS of Indesign to NOT show any of the type as a link (then the MISSING MIDDLE) in this Panel... before the fact... which I suppose is preferences, but I can not find, but then also I already have this problem then would he stop to recognize the type entered as a text links...
			 
It was probably turned on when the link was created. Turn off the preference then will not be allowed to dissociate text.
		   
 
            
           
 
		     
Duplicates in the links Panel
 
			 
Hello
It's curious me right now.
Not only I'm not sure why I don't want to see all instances of a linked file, it makes their goal (interchangeability, easy to edit) rather diluted.
I guess you can not, but thought I'd ask... is anyone know how / if I can get this link Panel to act as InDesign? Where all the duplicate links are grouped into themselves in this Panel.
Thank you.
			 
Links are not grouped together in Illustrator.
