The Links and Images screen lists the status, type, and color space of images used in the docu-
ment. (However, it will not list the color space of placed Illustrator files, EPSs, or PDFs.) Click an
item in the list, and the Current Link/Image area also displays the Actual and Effective ppi of the
file. Actual ppi is the resolution of the saved image; Effective ppi is the net resolution as a result
of any scaling within InDesign. InDesign cannot report the resolution of image content within a
placed PDF or Illustrator AI or EPS file. To simplify the display, check the Show Problems Only
option.
The Package report does not list any linked images missing from placed Illustrator (.ai) files,
nor are such images gathered when packaging a job. Advise your customer to either embed the
image, supply it separately, or save the file as an Illustrator PDF or an Illustrator EPS (which
includes the image information by default). Supplying the image separately offers the most flex-
ibility, if you should need to edit or color-correct the image.
The Colors and Inks screen lists inks used in the document. If there are extraneous inks, use
Ink Manager to resolve duplicates. The angle and lines per inch information has no impact on
the ultimate imaging of the job; those attributes are assigned at the RIP based on your particular
setup.
The Print Settings screen displays the settings in effect when the file was last printed from
InDesign. These settings have no effect on your RIP's processing of the job, but may be helpful in
troubleshooting future output.
The External Plug-ins screen lists any plug-ins used in the creation of the document. Generally,
plug-ins used by document creators are not necessary for successful output by other users, so
entries in this list don't usually constitute a problem.
Resolve any remaining issues (such as missing fonts or graphics), and click the Package button.
