We would need to see more of the Resource Manager, to see what item you have selected and where the Resource Manager thinks it is. And also probably see what actually opens when you click the button.

Update is only available, I think, when Publisher thinks the image has been modified externally but not yet updated.

Publisher is showing you the Placed DPI. Photo is showing the image's original DPI. The two will be the same only if you Place the file at its original size.

The images were updated in resolution

Hi @PierMax,

I can confirm the following:

That is correct, but also requires a Linked resource - your resources have been embedded within your Publisher document meaning making external changes to these files won't be passed through to the Publisher document. You can't ever 'Update' an embedded resource as they are fully contained within the Publisher file.

Again, this is due to using embedded resources which don't use a local file path - therefore this option simply opens Explorer. If you are using Linked resources, then a file path would be shown in the Resource Manager and this is where the option within Publisher would take you.

As your resource is embedded, the DPI of the image when it was first placed into your file will be used in the resource manager, therefore changing the .JPEG outside of Publisher won't change the DPI in the resource manager.

If you select the image in the Resource Manager and select Replace, you should be able to select the updated 300DPI image and switch this for the 72 DPI version.

After this you can select the Make Linked option if you want this to be a Linked resource, rather than embedded.

You can find out more about the differences below -

I hope this helps!

Thanks for your reply,

But if I link the images, these I'll be inside the PDF-X for Offset Printing?

Yes, Linked images will still be included when exporting to PDF - the difference is whether the app retains a link to the original file, or embeds it's own copy of the file - as explained in the link above

Thank you so much
