Question

DAM integration with InDesign with image linking

I am looking for a way to integrate a DAM application with InDesign such that I can use DAM assets in InDesign Documents. The challenge is that once the image is dropped into an InDesign file, we cannot track the image from DAM

 Prospect requirements

  1. Ability track what all images that are used in InDesign files and trace /link them back to DAM
  2. Ability to notify users when new versions of images are created in DAM
  3. Ability to identify all files used by a specific image
 
Is this possible through any plugin? Is there any way that we can notify that the used image has been updated or removed from DAM?

There are plenty of plugins in this area - both connectors that work with a variety of DAMs as well as quite a few DAMs that ship plugins specifically for InDesign. Is there something specific you were looking for? No idea how to respond to your list of requirements because having an answer to the question "so what DAM are you using, then?" seems like an important precondition.

Hi Joel, Thanks for your response. We are working with "Pimcore" DAM.
