Hi Folks,

In my plug-ins for InDesign CS5/5.5 desktop I'm importing InDesign Tagged Text via the method IImportSuite::DoImport(). The code goes something like this...

    InterfacePtr<IImportSuite> ptrImportSuite(static_cast<IImportSuite *>(Utils<ISelectionUtils>()->QuerySuite(IImportSuite::kDefaultIID)));

    if (ptrImportSuite != nil)
    {
        IDFile TaggedTextFile;

        if (CoreFileUtils::CreateUniqueTempFile( "My Tagged Text ", "", TaggedTextFile ))
        {
            if (WriteToFile( TaggedTextFile, TaggedText ))
            {
                URI ResourceID;

                if (Utils<IURIUtils>()->IDFileToURI( TaggedTextFile, ResourceID ))
                {
                    ptrImportSuite->DoImport( ResourceID,
                                              DocumentReferenceID.GetDataBase(),
                                              kTrue,
                                              kMinimalUI,
                                              kTrue,
                                              kTrue,
                                              kFalse );
                }
            }

            TaggedTextFile.Delete();
        }
    }

The tagged text is imported with no problems and is correctly formatted . I can save and reopen the document with no problems.

Now if I open the same document via InDesign Server, I see this...

09/23/11 13:40:04 ERROR [link manager] Link missing.; file:c:/TEMP/My%20Tagged%20Text%20480877211421

The document has opened and I can edit the imported text - so it would appear that the text is embedded in the document. But InDesign Server is complaining that links to the text files are missing. Which should it be - no embedded text with linked files or embedded text and no linked files? What I'm after is embedded text with no linked files as the files are temporary and only a means to an end.

If I open the document in the Desktop application, the Links tab is not showing any links, which is what I'd expect. So what's up with Server? I should also note that in Preferences\File Handling\Links "Create Links When Placing Text and Spreadsheet Files" is using the default setting - unchecked.

Any insight on this would be appreciated.

Andrew
