Hello,

When I export my file to pdf, it comes up with this error message:

When I go to the links panel, all links are there and when I relink them it makes no difference.
The pdf file still saves but it is having a problem being uploaded to the POD amazon create space.

Any ideas how to rectify? I'm on a Mac.

Thanks

So I did that but it still said missing links... Any ideas?

I've tried deleting the images and re-placing them into the document too. Didn't work

Next thing I'd try is restoring your InDesign preferences:

Trash, Replace, Reset, or Restore the application Preferences

So I reset the preferences and it made no difference. I have uninstalled and reinstalled indesign. I have re copied my image files to iCloud, and still it is showing as links missing to my files. I've tried setting up new files, used different images, opened old files that were fine and are now not.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?

What does iCloud have to do with this?

Nothing, but I wondered if there was a problem with my image files which were originally created on a different computer and then transferred using iCloud.

But it just seems to be a problem with indesign
