Uploading InDesign Documents With Linked Images

In the Media Pool module, you have the option of managing InDesign documents with linked images. After the import, the number of linked images is listed in the detailed view of the InDesign document.

A prerequisite is that you import the InDesign document together with the linked images in a ZIP file.

Note

Note that Uptempo does not support the import of nested ZIP files. Uptempo recommends that you do not store the InDesign file and linked images in subfolders.

If you have uploaded an InDesign document with linked images in a ZIP file, you first have to unpack the ZIP file:

  1. Upload the ZIP file that contains the InDesign file and the linked images.

  2. Open the import folder that contains the uploaded ZIP file.

  3. On the uploaded ZIP archive, select > ⋮ > Unzip.

  4. In the Unzip dialog box that opens, enter the name for a folder.

  5. Click Unzip.

  6. Click To Import after unzipping has finished.

    The import folder is displayed together with the unpacked InDesign file and the linked images.

  7. Select the files you want to create as assets by clicking on their preview images or the + symbol under the preview image.

    The toolbar with Edit button at the bottom left appears.

  8. Click Edit and select one of the possible editing functions (see chapter Import Area).

    The respective dialog for editing the asset attributes opens.

  9. Select the asset type.

    The attributes assigned to the asset type are displayed.

  10. Complete the asset attributes.

  11. Click Save.

You have uploaded the InDesign file with the linked images and created them as assets.
