I am using XML as input for indesign,
I can format paragraph styles and character styles using XSLT, but I do not know how to link a server image that should load inside indesign when flowing XML in indesign.
Can anyone please give a suggestion in this.
I tried :
<xlink href="file://209.11.157.44:803/Images/2/aec030af5c7a4011ac017e948baa84d7.jpg"/>
Kindly note this is a server image, I want to load this image in indesign.
Thanks in advance !
You cannot load images from an external server with InDesign/XML workflows. Images have to be local.
Only possible solution yet not tried, may consist in EmeraSoft plugin : eLink allowing to links files from external locations such as a server. However it seems like the plugin is no longer avaialble. http://www.emerasoft.com/
Other solution may consist in using 65bit EasyCatalog software both allowing XML import and external images import.
Eventually have a routine to download files prior to use them.
