InDesign corrupt file tip: Do not embed images. Link them! Don't embed images in large Adobe InDesign files, as there is a greater chance of the document becoming a corrupt InDesign file or a damaged InDesign file. Worse yet, it's harder to fix these bad InDesign files.
Adobe InDesign lets you embed images, pictures or graphics, through the Links Panel. It is a cool, handy feature. Fine for normal-sized images, graphics, or layouts, in general. However, be warned. Do not do this for larger publications.
I [David Dilling], for one, via first hand experience, can assure you that this is a major cause of bad, corrupted, or otherwise not opening InDesign files. Error 5, Error 4, you name it. We, at Markzware, have an InDesign file recovery service. This works a lot, but these huge files, 3, 4 GB in size often, which have embedded all of the image links, are some of the hardest to fix.
Thus, prevention is the key. To prevent these sort of files going corrupt in the first place, just Place images with links to the high-resolution image or picture on your hard or external drive. I have seen these sort of bad files come in, well, WEEKLY. So just do not embed your images in large documents. Just link them.
InDesign Secrets [CreativePro] even warns, although, I would sound it even louder the following:
“In other words, this is a safe thing to do, and InDesign can manage embedded graphics just fine, even when it comes time to print or export. However, you should use embedding with caution, and probably avoid it for large images. (What does “large” mean? There’s no hard and fast rule. I would have no problem embedding a 200K vector logo, but I probably wouldn’t embed a 10 Mb Photoshop image.)”
