Third Party Custom Data Link issues in InDesign 2018

In InDesign 2018, the status of links managed by a plug-in using custom datalinks do not update correctly in the Links panel and high-resolution assets are exported in low resolution.

• To resolve the first issue, add the line below to the resource handler boss e.g., CusDtLnk.fr file in CustomDataLink sample plug-in.

        IID_ILINKRESOURCEHELPERHANDLER, kFileLinkResourceHelperHandlerImpl,

• To resolve the low resolution export issue, use the following snippet in the ResourceHandler implementation e.g., CustomDataLinkResourceHandler.h for CustomDataLink sample plug-in.

virtual bool CanProvideFile(const UIDRef& ref, const URI& uri) 

{

 return true;

}

virtual ErrorCode GetFile(const UIDRef& ref, const URI& uri, IDFile& idFile)

{

                if (Utils<ICusDtLnkFacade>()->URIToIDFile(uri, idFile))

                                return kSuccess;

                return kFailure;

}
