What kind of designer would use a GIF image in a print document? That's either lunacy or ignorance. You're probably driving your printer crazy.

I run a prepress department and use LO all the time to start the repair process on documents from customers. We'll often see relatively small projects come in on several CDs and weigh in at 500mb to 1gb+ and this utility is a godsend. It's not unusual to see a gigabyte of designer crap end up being 20mb or 30mb when we're done prepping. Some files will just refuse to print because of the sheer bloat.

HIGHLY recommended...

I would not recommend using GIF images in a page layout program. Ever.

You are clueless as to who this software is intended for. If you want to use InDesign, which is a program made primarily for making documents to be sent to a Printer to make web PDF's that's fine, it's a good design app but understand that most people use it primarily for doing Print Design and LinkOptimizer is really for print designers. In Print Design you should NEVER use a GIF image! An easy solution to your problem would be to simply convert your GIF to a tif?

Wasn't trying to be too harsh, I just don't like it when someone knocks what is probably one of the most useful and timesaving applications I use without knowing what it's real purpose is. This is a definite must have for Print Designers. It makes sense that it won't process GIF's because print designers would NEVER use GIF's or JPEGs.
