Broken links can cause high blood pressure. Okay, maybe not…maybe it’s just me. But the number one problem we needed a solution for was how to prevent broken links when updating disclosure packages. Each updated package is renamed to reflect the most recent version, with the previous information being brought forward to the next package. Under the new document name, all previous links became b…

LinkFixer is a great piece of software. It is a utility that takes a basic idea and incorporates it into a powerful tool. You would think that what LinkFixer does would have already been a part of an Office Suite or operating system. However, that isn’t the case, so LinkFixer has answered the needs of many by simplifying the management of document links across a wide variety of different software …

We were migrating a Netware File Server over to a Windows File Server. We were required to update all Excel links within all documents to reflect the new server name. We were moving groups of files from one server to another. The tool [LinkFixer] was a good choice and worked perfectly every time.

We are utilizing LinkFixer to enhance our online archiving. We have a dedicated NAS server that holds all of our past projects in their original digital format. The problem has always been that once a project has been archived and moved to another server, the AutoCAD and InDesign files lose their links to all of the reference files stored in the moved folders. This has made the ease of using onlin…

LinkFixer was used for a specific data migration project which has now been completed. The software allowed us to easily identify links within over 60 gigabytes of documents and data, and change them to point to a new server. The execution of the link fixing process was straightforward and saved the project team a great deal of time and money.

Thank you for helping me salvage several years worth of work! Without going into great detail, changes over time left me with files containing links that didn’t exist anymore. In addition, I had files with broken links due to company name changes. All in all, this created many broken links and, what I thought was, an impossible job of fixing them all. This morning I purchased LinkFixer. By noon, t…

We used the LinkFixer software to help us complete our document migration project. We used it to replace thousands of hyperlinks and other types of links in thousands of files. During the project, LinkTek provided superb support for our project requirements. We were able to talk to live support personnel in minutes and get quick responses. And LinkTek continues to improve their product to help our…

One of our projects involved moving 30,000 finance department files, totaling 35 GB, to another server and restructuring the department’s folders to a proper hierarchy. We encountered thousands of broken links that would have taken months for us to manually repair. LinkFixer helped us save a tremendous amount of money and time by not having to manually fix broken links in the moved files. If we ha…

I want to thank you and your techs for their help with our project. We were able to sift through over 600 GB’s of data with thousands of Microsoft Office files and fix links. Due to a server change that did not support spaces in root folder names, we had to remove spaces from 7 root folders on our Network Appliance filer. We were able to do this with little or no impact to our end users by chang…

We purchased LinkFixer to help ensure data integrity while moving data between servers for load-balancing purposes. The data on our servers is crucial for business operations, and a risk of breaking links would threaten disruption that we could not afford. Such risk would have called a halt to the project, due to financial and legal consequences. LinkFixer handled the situation quite well. Any su…

We are an ISO 9000:2001 certified company and part of that requires a huge master document list, which has accumulated over 1000 lines, all linked to a variety of corresponding documents. It is very important to have these links working at all times. Previously it would take me hours to check each link in the documents, at least once a week. Now with LinkFixer, it takes me only minutes to run the …

We were migrating from a Novell environment to Windows Active Directory and therefore had to move data from a lettered drive, which had tons of financial spreadsheets containing links to other lettered drives, to a non-lettered drive format. Therefore we looked for any software that could automate this process and save us time. We estimated that we had some 100,000 links (at a minimum) and that Li…

We had upgraded a customer’s file server and there were many undocumented links across many folders. If LinkFixer had only documented the links we would have been happy, but we completed the rebuilding of the links for our customer, and I thought you might be interested in the number of links fixed – 12,000! (Yes there are three zeroes after the 12!) I will recommend LinkFixer to any other custome…

We had a project to clean-up the file structure on our group drive. As part of this project we identified thousands of Word and Excel documents which had embedded links. In order to make the change as painless as possible, we used the LinkFixer tool to automatically switch those links for us. I would say that it worked for 99% of our links which saved us a lot of time overall.

Ours is a large IT shop providing managed services for all state agencies in Vermont. We have performed several domain and file system migrations where LinkFixer has been an invaluable tool is our business continuity.
One particular example was the file system migration of the Department of Finance and Management. They had one particular directory tree that had about 500,000 links in several …
