the output device.
Repair links and images during preflight
The Links And Images area of the Preflight 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out-of-date links, and any RGB images (which may not separate properly unless color management is on and set up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: InDesign 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 in their original applications.
1 To view only problem images, select Show Problems Only in the Links And Images area of the Preflight 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.
Package files
You can gather the files you’ve used, including fonts and linked graphics, for easy handoff to a service provider. When
you package a file, you create a folder that contains the InDesign document (or documents in a book file), any
necessary fonts, linked graphics, text files, and a customized report. This report, which is saved as a text file, includes
the information in the Printing Instructions dialog box; a list of all used fonts, links, and inks required to print the
document; and print settings.
You don’t need to perform a final preflight check before packaging. InDesign performs an up-to-date preflight check.
If problem areas are detected, a dialog box appears.
You can also give your service provider a composite PDF file made from your document or a PostScript file.
1 Do one of the following to open the Package dialog box:
• Choose File > Package.
• In the Preflight dialog box, click Package.
• In the Book panel menu, choose Package Book or Package Selected Documents, depending on whether all, some,
or none of the documents are selected in the Book panel.
2 If a dialog box appears alerting you to possible problems, do one of the following:
• Click View Info to open the Preflight dialog box where you can correct problems or get further information. When
you’re satisfied with the document, begin the packaging process again.
• Click Continue to begin packaging.
3 Fill in the printing instructions. The filename you type is the name of the report that accompanies all other
packaging files.
4 Click Continue, and then specify a location in which to save all packaging files.
