(Can't write in InDesign Server forum) - [Java/Corba] images appear only as grey box

Hello,  sorry for posting here, but I can't post in the IDS-Forum. Click on 'post message' deletes the text ..  We're working on our first plugin for InDesign Server. We are creating Documents with boxes and place graphics (in PDF format) in this boxes. The problem is: After opening the document in InDesign we just see grey boxes and no images. The links in the document are ok and when we print, we see the images. I think, the internal preview of the graphics are not created. Printing uses the original file and there we can see the image.  In the code we create an rectangle with addRectangle() and place the image with the place() command. Is there anything else we must do to see the image in InDesign?  thanks for any ideas Klaus Friese

Hi Klaus,

have a look at the following snippet to be called at startup:

InterfacePtr<IServerSettings> iServerSettings( iSession, UseDefaultIID() );
if ( iServerSettings )
    iServerSettings->SetImagePreview( true );

Best,

Peter

Thanks, that's it.   For InDesignServer with Java/Corba the method is called  inDesignServer.getApplication().setImagePreview( true );  and that worked
