    If you hover your cursor over the dots, you’ll see a tooltip that tells you the status.

    Green: Hyperlink is valid and reachable
    Red: Hyperlink is not valid (either it goes to a non-existent URL, or the hyperlink is malformed)
    Gray: I have occasionally seen these, it usually means ID can’t determine the status for some reason. A strange code is coming back from the destination’s web server, or, if all of them are gray, you don’t have an Internet connection.

    Sometimes you’ll see a gray envelope (email link) or gray page icon (page destination) too.

    Why are you extracting images from the PDF … to increase their res and save them back to the same spot in the PDF, or to use elsewhere?

    Anyway the only way to do the latter as a batch is to choose Export PDF from the Tools panel in Acrobat, and in that dialog box to select Images, and turn on the Export All Images checkbox (this is key, otherwise you get images of each full page). You choose there which format to export them as: JPEG, TIFF, or PNG. Click the Gear icon there for Settings to choose a resolution. Then click Save and select a folder where all the images will be exported to.

    hope that helps!

    ah! I never scrolled to the top of that “replace with” to see that No Style was an option. And that’s when the “retain formatting” checkbox appears. Thank you!

    I love it when I learn something new. ;-)

    So the end result is the same as Break Link to Style … except of course the style is deleted.

    Thanks!

    I finally came across this post today, 2 months later. I absolutely loved it, Olaf!


    @Peter    : You said “I always delete all styles that are not defined by me using “Preserve Style Formating”.” But that option only appears with Character styles, not Paragraph styles. Deleting an in-use Paragraph Style forces you to choose another style to replace it with, destroying the formatting.

    Instead, the action to take with Paragraph styles that you want to delete, but retain their formatting, is to choose Break Link to Style. The paragraph’s formatting doesn’t change but in the Paragraph Styles panel, it appears as (No Styles)+.

    strange! Smart cut and paste is working normally in my InDesign 2022. Have you tried rebuilding your preferences?

    Did you try selecting all the text in the lines/paragraphs and changing the horizontal alignment to align left?

    wow, sorry to hear you’re having trouble! I’ve been teaching and using it for years, keeping up with my clients afterwards, and know that if folks aren’t quite sure of what’s happening (where files should be saved, etc.) it can fall apart. If you need any help you can reach out to me directly, let me know.

    Usually you’d want to use Dropbox, Google Drive, or Sharepoint/One Drive if some or all users are remote. That is, keep the project folder with all files in a local subfolder from one one of those services and share it with other members … designers and editors … of the group. Everything on people’s local hard drives, with the service syncing in the background and keeping all members up to date.

    As for alternatives, the only I know of is from CtrlSoftware (https://ctrlsoftware.com/) though I think that requires editors to use either InCopy or InDesign anyway. Just might be an easier workflow for your situation … haven’t looked at it in years myself, though.

    You’re absolutely right that Adobe hasn’t given it a good healthy upgrade in decades! Other than to allow it to keep up with InDesign. Which is no small feat really. Pretty cool how many of the things are working rock solid.

    You could consider taking the Adobe Certified Instructor for Design & Layout exam: https://spark.adobe.com/page/8Ccmgtv8R0ebT/

    I helped develop the exam along with a few others. It mainly covers InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop, with a bit of Creative Cloud and publishing workflow questions.

    Adobe certification is really fractured, no longer a list of ACE exams. sigh.
