    IDCS5 Mac: Missing links when converting IDCS3 document from PC

    Mr. Andersson Community Member

      InDesign, Swedish versions

      Windows XP, ID CS3 unknown update version (clients in-house studio)

      Mac OS X 10.6.4, ID CS5 7.0.2

       

       

      When converting IND CS3 with my Mac running IND CS5 all links are dead after conversion.

      All link names have been changed to the same name as the folder name where the indd-file file is located. Relinking is not possible.

       

      The only method to relink would be to go page by page and look at pictures and then drop in the same image again.

      If I open the same CS3 files from the PC with CS3 on the Mac it works fine.

       

      In the example below, I have moved the indd file to a folder named "mappnamn".

       

      The top image shows a PC document converted with CS5.

      The bottom image shows the same document opened with CS3 on the Mac and then converted to CS5.

       

      Is this a known bug?
