Repair links and images
The Links And Images area of the Package Inventory dialog box lists all links, embedded images, and placed InDesign
files used in the document, including DCS and OPI links from linked EPS graphics. Images embedded in EPS graphics
and placed InDesign files are not included as links in the preflight report. The preflight utility indicates missing or out-
of-date links, and any RGB images (which may not separate properly unless color management is on and set up
correctly).
Note: The Package Inventory dialog box cannot detect RGB images embedded in placed EPS, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe
PDF, FreeHand files, and placed .INDD files. For best results, verify color data for placed graphics using the Preflight
panel or in their original applications.
1 To view only problem images, select Show Problems Only in the Links And Images area of the Package Inventory
dialog box.
2 To repair a link, do one of the following:
•
Select the problem image and click either Update or Relink.
•
Click Repair All.
3 Locate the correct image files and click Open.
Creating PostScript and EPS files
For detailed information and instructions, click the links below.
Creating PostScript or EPS files
As an alternative to printing a document to a printer, you can save a PostScript-language description of the document
as a .PS file for printing on remote printers—for example, by a prepress service provider. A service provider can send
a .PS file directly to the imagesetter. The size of a PostScript file is usually larger than the original InDesign document,
because the graphics and fonts are embedded.
You can also export a document page or spread to an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file and place it in other
applications.
Choosing the right method for creating a PostScript file
You can save your InDesign document or book in any of three types of PostScript files: device-independent, device-
dependent, or device- and driver-dependent.
