Hello,
Hello,
You are my hope. Surely the last one... I've been struggling for several days.
Here it is, my printer can visualize my PDF on the screen but when it comes to printing, there's a bug; some pictures don't appear.
On my end, after generating my PDF, I receive this message from Indesign:
”This document contains links to files that are not accessible. Please check your network connectivity or the original source of the content.”
However, my link check shows no errors. My photo links have been updated.
I don’t know where else to look.
Thank you for your attention.
Warm regards,
Sylvie

Try to make an assembly..
Menu "file/assembly"
The window will ask you to create a folder and in this folder the software will gather all the links.
In the "link" window you will have a summary of the images present (or not) with an indication of the path where they are located.
In the possible errors: duplicate names on different pages or names with invalid characters.

Thank you very much for your reply.
I just did it, but I have this message:
”Indesign couldn't assemble the document. Unable to copy the necessary linked file(s).”
So, here’s what I have in Assembly:
Fonts
- 2 out of 4 fonts are Activated and Protected
Links and Images,
- in the Status column, all links are linked
- in the ICCProfile column, there are 4 Embedded images and everything else is Without
Where is the error? You're burning!
Thank you for your help.

All the images are linked, which is good... but there might be a problem...
For the ICCProfile column, it's not too important if it's printed in composite.. if it's offset, you may have a bad color separation, but it won't be a disaster...
However, for the protected font, you will likely have a problem with the provider.. A protected font cannot be embedded in a PDF file. It can only be used for printing.
Therefore, Acrobat will use a substitution font to print and keep the same presentation (tracking) on screen, but the substitution may be completely different from the original font used...
Regarding your PDF that won't process.. The quickest way is to proceed by elimination. If you have multiple pages, make a PDF of pages 1 to 8, for example. If that works, do the next 8, etc..
At the moment it fails, look for the page that is causing the problem
Then remove elements from the page (image, text block, etc..) proceed by elimination until you find the element that is causing the issue.
