When you do embed a file, it is no longer updated when you edit the original version.
However, if you decide to edit the original embedded file and update the information
within your document, you can relink the graphic using the Unembed or Relink
file options.
To manually embed an image file:
1 Select a file in the Links palette.
2 Choose Embed in the Links palette menu. The file remains in the Links palette marked
with the embedded-link icon .
Note: For a text file that appears in the Links palette, select Unlink in the Links palette
menu. When you embed a text file, it is automatically removed from the Links palette.
To unembed a linked file:
1 Select one or more embedded files in the Links palette.
2 Do one of the following:
Select Unembed in the Links palette menu.
•
Click the Relink button
•
3 Choose to link the file to the original file or to a folder InDesign creates from the
embedded data stored in the document.
Updating, reestablishing, reassigning, and replacing links
Use the Links palette to check the status of any link, or to replace files with updated or
alternate files.
When you update or reestablish (relink) a link to a file, any transformations performed in
InDesign are preserved. For example, if you import a 4-by-4cm square graphic and rotate it
30 degrees, and then you relink it to an unrotated 6-by-8cm graphic, InDesign will scale the
replacement graphic to 4-by-4cm and rotate it 30 degrees, to match the layout position of
the graphic it's replacing.
Note: Placed EPS files may contain OPI links, which will appear in the Links palette. Do not
relink OPI links to files other than those originally intended by the creator of the EPS file;
doing so can cause problems with font downloading and color separations.
To update a modified link:
1 In the Links palette, select one or more links marked with the modified-link icon .
2 Click the Update Link button
To update all modified links at once:
1 In the Links palette, do one of the following:
Deselect all links by clicking the bottom of the Links palette.
•
Select all links marked with the modified-link icon.
•
2 Click the Update Link button, or choose Update Link in the Links palette menu.
To restore a missing link, or to replace a link with a different source file:
1 Do one of the following:
