![{ProductName} Preferences IDML]( "{ProductName} Preferences IDML")
*IDML files do not contain preview data by default. OmniMarkz allows you to create Low Resolution (Lo-Res) Previews of images for your IDML file. Thus, instead of seeing a gray box where an image is, using this feature allows you to get a lo-res placeholder image as a preview, thus making it easier to see what the document actually looks like without having to relink images. You can then replace the lo-res previews at a later time with high resolution images
Create Lo-Res Previews:
OmniMarkz gives you three choices for creating lo-res previews for your exported IDML files -
- Never
- For missing images
- For all images
Link to Lo-Res (Checkbox)
*When this preference is enabled and you have selected either Create Lo-Res Previews for missing images or for all images, OmniMarkz will attempt to link to the previews it creates. Also, if you want to extract images out of a PDF file, then set this to For All Images and Link to Lo-Res. By doing this OmniMarkz will always extract images out of a PDF at whatever resolution they are in the PDF and you can then repurpose these images. Please understand that images in PDF files are usually cropped and thus you may not get an entire image, just the portion you can see in the PDF file.
!If you are mostly using OmniMarkz for files that have locally linked images, you may want to consider setting the Create Lo-Res Previews to Never. By doing this OmniMarkz will find your original images at their original locations instead of trying to create low resolution previews. (thus saving you time as the original full resolution images should be linked to the document)
