It will take InDesign a few seconds longer to display your page, but the result should look significantly better!

If you have checked the image resolution in the Links panel, and have the appropriate Actual & Effective resolution for your output device, then it’s most likely simple a matter of customizing the display settings. You did everything right and it still looks pixelated.This way its very likely that InDesign will find them, unless you've also been. If you used multiple folders before and with different names, one way to fix this is to drop ALL your linked AI files inside a single folder simply named Links. When I doubled the image size in InDesign, I lowered the effective resolution to 150 ppi.Īdobe InDesign: Viewing the Effective Resolution of an image in the LInks panel By default InDesign looks for links in the 'Links' folder which should be where all your INDD sources are. Broken Links are also known as dead links. At the original size, the image below was 300 ppi. You can see when this happens in the Links panel, as well.



Ideally, you redirect to a page with relevant content such as a relevant post or a category or tag page. Select all the links (select top link and then scroll down and shift-click the last one) Open the Links panel menu. Remember the rule of thumb for color or grayscale images that are intended for print on large commercial printers: scan at a resolution of 1.5 to 2 times the screen frequency used by the printer. Using 301 redirects is the method that Google recommends for fixing broken internal links.
