DESCRIPTION

LinkOptimizer is a utility for Adobe InDesign that reduces the size of linked images by eliminating excessive image data.

LinkOptimizer will help you save valuable storage space, time and reduce production costs in a variety of ways by reducing the size of images linked to your InDesign document:

  • saving valuable hard drive and backup storage space
  • increasing speed of printing of your document and creating PDF files
  • saving valuable time when transferring your job to service providers, publications or other outside sources
  • reducing the cost of your job through faster processing by service providers
  • speeding up your overall job turnaround

WHAT'S NEW
Version 3.1.4: LinkOptimizer now stops analyzing with a proper warning when the system and InDesign are using different number formats. InDesign and the system should use the same number formats before running LinkOptimizer.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later, Adobe InDesign CS, CS2, CS3; Adobe Photoshop CS, CS2, CS3.

    FRANKFX  It works! And it does it real fast. Linkoptimizer saves a lot of time and is custumisable to my needs. Can't all this be done manually? Yes it can but I rather spent my time on something more usefull like playing World of Warcraft.

    If your're using InDesing a lot you really should give it a try. Also see the Q&A section of de Zevrix website for some more details.

    5 stars for developers support.  (Version 2..5)

    FLEC65  Awesome! I tried the demo with a 7.3Gb job in InDesign containing 126 links. LinkOptimizer optimized the files to 2Gb in about 20 minutes (including backup of original files and applying slight sharpen mask to optimized images). Pretty impressive! In fact, Link Optimizer was faster doing that than InDesign packaging the job for DVD burning. I'm now convinced that LinkOptimizer is an invaluable tool for our design studio.  (Version 2.2.1)

    STICKMAN67  This product is magic.

    It does exactly what it claims to do, and fast.

    Not only that, but the developer contacted me within hours when I reported a "bug" (which turned out to be a problem with InDesign finding graphic files but not updating file-path information for the links, despite a change to a folder name), and kept contacting me until the problem was resolved.

    Even if you used this only as a calculator for effective resolution it would be amazing. That it can then optimize images to that resolution automatically makes it a must-have, especially for those producing print-ready InDesign files.

    Highly recommended.
