Linked images rather than Embedded Images

Is there a way to have an image in a Pages document be linked rather than embedded? The intention would be to maintain photo quality but reduce the size of the document. This would be similiar to indesign.

Cheers.

Hello Bryan,

Pahes has not such a function. All you can do is to place a link by hand into the document package folder. This means to show the document in the Finder, do a control-click onto it's icon and choose the item "Show Package Contents" from the appearing menu. Now you will see a new window with all the content of the document in it. Take the images out and place a link with the exact name plus ending of the image into the folder. But be sure to place a symbolic link (type into Terminal: "ln -s <path>/<imageName>", when you have navigated with: "cd <documentPackgeFolderPath>" into the document package folder) or this will not work.

If you think this is the kind of way that works for you than use it. But I think this is no way for a production workflow.
