    Hi REALISM NOIR, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Thanks for clarifying. 

     

    As Walter mentioned here, since we are actively working on full support for macOS 12.3, you may have trouble accessing online-only files in third party apps.

     

    Your patience is appreciated on this! Thanks.

Hello all together

 

I have the same problem in InDesign with files that are online only and despair almost every day when I have to edit InDesign jobs where I have to locate the files in the Finder first and download them every time.

 

Now I have discovered a workaround:

  1. Open a job in InDesign
  2. Select all entries in “Links"
  3. Right-click on the menu item "Edit With" > "Preview 11.0".
  4. After all files have been opened in Preview, close Preview.
  5. Switch back to InDesign.
  6. Continue working.

I hope this helps some of you.
