Supported Image Link Files

The plugin will try to use the original image and try to create an optimize version if the image link is one of the following extensions:

  • jpg
  • jpeg
  • eps
  • tiff
  • tif
  • png
  • gif
  • jp2
  • pict
  • bmp

If the image link is another extension that is not in this list, the plugin will use the image representation of the image that InDesign provides.
