1.8 Transfer InDesign to Publisher linked/embed problem


ReneNL

Recommended Posts

I started to transfer my 30+ files over to Publisher but the linked files are not working.

My files in InDesign are all ok no link errors
Action "save file to InDesign CS4 or Later (IDML)"
Open IDML in Publisher 1.8.0.584
Result Missing resources
Document has no images but only smal and big -->  ?  <--

Select: Yes/No/Resource manager
If Yes = select directory and i must select an image
Result all image placeholders have the same image

If i select Resource manger i see e.g 16 items together, i can click open.
All  ->?<-  Linked 
But when i select an item i do not see a name of the file
I am not able to correct it as shown in the instruction video.

Update = 16x error box "The file type is not supported"
replace = well - no name so....
embed = ok but no image and ->?<-
collect = ? and missing status

So what i tried:

In InDesign embedded all linked files and save it 
create a IDML file and open it in Publisher
The file opens in Publisher without errors 
Saved file as Publisher file.
But now i want to change them in Resource Manager from embedded to Linked
Status is OK but "Make linked" = grayed out.

Linked files are jpg / ai / png
 

Is it me or.........................

also tried embedded InDesign file copy to other dir and re-link again to sub dir
create IDML and open in Publisher same..... problem.

I guess not a bug but good to know.....(or it was mentioned but i overlooked it)

Created a new Publisher file 
Linked several JPG / Ai / PSD files (all but Ai files show image thumb in Resource manager)
Embed all files. 
Save

"un"-embed -> Make linked is not possible for Ai and PSD files.
When transferred to AF and AD files works. (off course)
IDML Embedded  files with Ai and PSD cannot be unlinked

 

Embedded files with Ai and PSD files
Open IDML 
Layers select/open embedded file
copy 
open AF or AP (i am not able to save photo or des persona )
Paste
Save

 

Transferring my history to Affinity means more work.
