Stenness Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi, I have been replicating some of my InDesign jobs to see how they work in Publisher. Impressive for a beta. One thing I have noticed is that (even with all graphics switched to linked [which really should be either the default or there should be a Preference for this] all the files are around 3 times the size of the InDesign ones. I wonder why this is the case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Even when linked, the images Placed in Publisher are (by experiment) still embedded. I don't know if the linking function is only partly implemented in this beta, or if Serif have a different idea of how linked graphics should operate. At this point about all that linking seems to do is allow Publisher to tell you when the image is updated elsewhere, so you can use the Resource Manager to update your copy. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Stenness Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 That would explain it Walt, thank you - but not what I would like and not really suited to documents with lots of graphics. Early days though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yes, lighter files would be better. I often work on text at different locations/computers, and only take/send the file (lighter), not the linked pictures. Once the file is opened again in the original folder with the linked files, I can create PDF, finish, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
