Re: InDesign claims a Link Error even when Linked Files are where they are supposed to be

Hi @Prismatic,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details!

It sounds like you’ve already tried a number of troubleshooting steps, but the issue persists. Please try the suggestions below and let us know if it help: 

1. Cache corruption can cause link issues. Try resetting your InDesign preferences by holding Shift + Ctrl + Alt (Windows) or Shift + Command + Option + Control (Mac) when launching InDesign. Reference: https://adobe.ly/3YtMV6L

2. Ensure there are no special characters in the file paths of your linked files. InDesign may sometimes have trouble with overly long paths or those containing unusual characters.

3. Verify that you have full read/write access to the folders where your linked files are stored, as permission issues may block InDesign from accessing them.

4. Run a Preflight check (Window > Output > Preflight) to catch any issues with links or file paths that may not be obvious.

5. If all else fails, try manually relinking by going to the Links panel, selecting the broken links, and clicking the Relink button, navigating to the correct location.

We will wait to hear from you. 

Best,

Abhishek Rao
