Reply To: Missing link after change of Harddisk

Well, everyone’s world is different, eh?

I work at a print shop with hundreds of clients, and it’s crucial that they bring packaged InDesign files in. So, what happens is this: We get the InDesign file and some links, but others are missing, and the customer doesn’t know where they are. So, I have to tell them the path to find their files (which are hopefully still there), etc. Lots of time wasted.

While having your links in separate partitions and hard drives may work for you, the moment you move those files, your InDesign file is not going to know where it went, which involves wasting lots of time re-linking. Having all your elements in one folder is how InDesign works best, hence the Package function.
