Embed image instead of linking


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

I am using AD 1.7.1 in a mac. When I place an image, by default AD links the image. So, when I move the image, AD prompts for relocating resources. I actually do not want that. I want the image to be embedded in the AD document, so that even if I move the placed image from my computer, the placed image remains intact in AD.

Can anyone please help.

Regards,

Anupam

In AfDesigner it appears to be an forgotten part of UI yet, in particular because AfPublisher offers this choice as a default document setting.
In AfDesigner it seems you still need to Replace the resource first to get access to the link option, hidden at the bottom of the finder/explorer window in the button "Options":

Someone else reported that on a MAC - but by default, AD should be embedding images

Do you also have Publisher installed on that device and have you ever opened that document in Publisher?

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

On my copy of Designer, embedded is the default, & I see no way to change that. One of the staff said some time back that the Replace Image "Options" button in Designer might be a bug (that it should appear only for .afpub files being edited in Designer or some such) but there was no follow up on that I can find.

Hi Anupam :)

As discussed on this thread, Designer should always default to embedding images, as there's nowhere to modify or manage any 'resources' in Designer.

Does this happen with any new document, or is it only apparent in one? Was this document started or used in Publisher at any point?

This is already logged with our development team as a bug, the option shouldn't be provided in any dialogue in Designer AFAIK - for the aforementioned reasons.

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

If you require urgent assistance, please create a new thread and a member of our team will be sure to assist asap.

Many thanks :)
