Online Publishing not taking all images
Using both InDesign 19 and 18.5, publishing online no longer functions on a Mac running Sonoma 14.1. This issue started days ago. I’ve Packaged projects, saved them locally, and confirmed all images are linked but when I publish them, some images do not tranfer. And it’s random. If I publish over and over again, an image that didnt appear before may make it through. This is a terrible bug for me personally as I rely on digital publishing and sharing interactive presentations for my business.

If you are experiencing issues with online publishing in Adobe InDesign not including all images, consider the following steps to troubleshoot and address the problem:
Image Formats and Resolution:
Ensure that the images you are using in your InDesign document are in a supported format (e.g., JPEG, PNG) and have an appropriate resolution. Some online publishing platforms may have specific requirements for image formats and resolutions.
Embed Images:When using online publishing features, make sure that you have embedded the images in your InDesign document. This ensures that all necessary image files are included when exporting for online publishing.
Check Image Links:Open the Links panel in InDesign (Window > Links) and check the status of your image links. Ensure that there are no missing or modified links. Update or relink any images that are not properly linked.
Export Settings:When exporting for online publishing, review the export settings. Ensure that you have selected the appropriate options for image compression, quality, and resolution. Adjust these settings as needed.
Package Document:Consider using the "Package" feature in InDesign (File > Package) to gather all the linked images and fonts used in the document into a single folder. This can help ensure that all necessary assets are included.
Image Compression:If the online publishing platform has file size limitations, it's possible that some images may be excluded due to size. Experiment with different compression settings to reduce the overall file size of the exported document.
Export to PDF:As an alternative, you can try exporting your InDesign document to PDF first (File > Export > Adobe PDF). Ensure that the PDF includes all images. Then, use a separate tool or platform to convert the PDF to an online-friendly format.
Update InDesign:Ensure that you are using the latest version of Adobe InDesign. Check for updates through the Adobe Creative Cloud application and install any available updates. Newer versions may have bug fixes and improvements.
Online Publishing Platform:Check the documentation or support resources for the online publishing platform you are using. They may have specific guidelines or requirements for image inclusion, and their support team may be able to provide assistance.
Test with Different Images:Create a test document with a few different images and attempt to publish it online. This can help identify whether the issue is specific to certain images or a more general problem.
If the issue persists after trying these steps, consider reaching out to Adobe Support or the support channels of the online publishing platform for more specific assistance. Providing additional details about the online publishing platform and any error messages encountered can help in diagnosing the problem accurately.
