Illustrator :: Image Links Not Auto-Updating?

Mar 22, 2014

I updated to Illustrator 17.1, and now my image links no longer auto-update after they have been edited in Photoshop. As most should know, this has long been a feature: tweak an image file in Photoshop, save it (same file name), and Illustrator will recognize the image has been edited and ask if you want to update it automatically. Hit 'Return', as 'Okay' is the default dialog button action, and image updated: one step. Without auto-update, user must manually access link palette, select edited image link, and 'Relink' the image ('Update Link' unavailable here now as well): three-plus steps (including identifying and selecting image file after 'Relink').

Illustrator :: Lose Image Links To Other Files?

Mar 7, 2014

I have an illustrator file which contains linked images. I want the images to link to images in a different folder on a different hard drive. They are the same images, but just in a different location.
 
I am thinking of temporarily changing the name of the first hard drive (which the images are currently linked to), in order to break the original image links. That way, I can re-open the illustrator file, and when it asks me to find the links, at that point I can direct illustrator towards the links on my other hard drive.
 
I will then save the file with the images linking to the images on the new hard drive.
 
At that point I will re-name the first hard drive back to it's original name.Will all of my other illustrator files loose their links if I temporarily change the name of my hard drive, and then change it back to it's original name?
 
(I have used this technique by changing folder names, and it has worked. But I was afraid to change the name of my Hard Drive because there are a guzillion files on it, and I can't afford for my illustrator files to lose any of their links.)

Illustrator Scripting :: Updating Embedded Image In PDF But Not All Actions Are Recorded

Feb 29, 2012

i am trying to create an Action in CS3 but some of my actions are not been recorded.
 
What i want to do is run the Batch option on a folder with a 1,000 PDFs in it. The PDFs (which were created in Illustrator CS3) consist of a single page with a single embedded image at the foot of the page. I am trying to update that embedded image. The Actions i am trying to record are...

1) Select the single image in the Links palette.
2) Choose the "Relink.." option in the drop down menu of the Links palette.
3) Navigate to the new image and select "Place".
4) Save and close document.

But the first two actions are not been recorded.

From trying this manually the new image seems to take on the horizontal and vertical scaling of the previous image which is what i want. But if i am going to have to do a script then that is a factor that may have to be incorporated into the script.

AutoCAD LT :: Auto Updating Dimensions In Viewports

Aug 13, 2012

recently switched over to AutoCAD 2013 from 2012. A time svae feature I used extensively in 2012 was the auto update feature for dimensions. My workflow is to set up a base plan then xRef that plan to my various sheets where needed in viewport in paperspace. If I set my DIMASSOOC to (2) and then dimension in paperspace I was able to auto update the dimensions with any changes by simply double clicking in the viewport window then switching back to paperspace. I have spent some time researching this feature today without any answers. Would this be just a bug in the new version or is it a feature that has been disabled?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Auto Updating Polyline Area Into External Database

Jun 11, 2012

I am using 2012 autoCad. I have created an external MS access database in 2010. I want to map some fields like Polyline areas to DB field. DBConnect wasn't that much usrful to me for external databse.(Or I might be missing something).

Is there anyway that I can map AutoCAD-2012 Polylines to External database field so that updating polyline auto updates the database??

InDesign :: Does Printing Pages With Ai Links Take Longer Than PSD Links?

Apr 15, 2014

I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker.  I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques.  The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans.  To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format. 
 
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds).  The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process. 
 
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour. 
 
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not.  If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign.  That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work.  Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.

Photoshop :: Add Links To Image And Then Add It To Webpage?

May 13, 2012

I am trying to add links to an image and then add it to my web page...I have been trying to use the slice tool in photoshop which works great for the links but I can't seem to achieve a transparent background in the save for web...
 
Inside of photoshop the image is transparent and when I save for web (image) the map.png file is not created...map_01.png, map_02.png and all others are created but not the map.png file When I have saved for web (html) I have tried inserting the html into an iframe on the page and the image looks and functions correctly but there is no transparent background because it is an <iframe> and not the actual .png.

Illustrator :: Can Create Links Within A Document?

May 22, 2013

I'm putting together some design specs and I want to create a clickable table of contents that will navigate to a different section of the document. IE. artboard #27
 
From what I've seen thus far it looks like I can add links but only to websites and they are only clickable in PDF mode.
 
Is it possible at the very least to make my clickable TOC when converting my document to a PDF? and, is it possible to make it clickable even if it is in .ai format?

Illustrator Scripting :: Relinking Broken Links With JSX

Aug 7, 2013

I have a series of folders and I have linked art and the files they are linked to all mixed up in these folders. My file structure is as such;

myFilesHH01000-01999HH01000-HH01099HH001001.PDF
and now I need to change the file structure to this;
myFilesHHHH01000-01999HH01000-HH01099HH001001.PDF
adding the folder HH breaks the links.

What is the best way to identify the broken link and change its path with JSX?

Illustrator Scripting :: Find A Way To Get The Links And Link Statuses?

Jan 24, 2013

I'm trying to find a way to get the links and link statuses in Adobe Illustrator. It doesn't seem to be at all similar to InDesign DOM.
 
What I'd like to be able to do is check whether a file has a missing link. I have been able to trace it to a "placedItem" which is inherently a "pageItem". So is it possible to find the link status? Been going through the DOM for about a half hour now and still can't find it.

Illustrator Scripting :: Change File Path For Links In Document?

Apr 14, 2010

changing the file path for links in an Illustrator document?
 
For example, let's say my Illustrator document is stored at: /Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/designs/concept1.ai
 
and I have placed 2 linked visuals:
 
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/big_retouch.psd
/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
  
When I open the .AI I noticed that the reference to the visuals is under a %DocumentFiles section:
%%DocumentFiles:/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/retouc hed.psd
%%+/Volumes/Storage/Projects/Client/AAA001/visuals/flattened.jpg
 
I need to replace "/Volumes/Storage/Projects" with "/Volumes/Projects". (There are some more complex replacements I need, but let's start here.)

Illustrator :: When Click Edit Original In Links Panel It Opens MICROSOFT PAINT

Oct 23, 2013

When I click "Edit Original" with a jpeg selected in the links panel it opens Microsoft Paint! In Windows (7) the file association is Windows Picture Viewer (NOT Paint!) and in Bridge it is associated with Photoshop CC. In InDesign we have the option of choosing which program to edit linked files with. In Illustrator we are stuck with the astounding Paint! Why?? 17 versions and this still bugs me!

Lightroom :: Folder Image Counts In 4.1 Not Updating

Jun 19, 2012

LR Version Running: v4.1 Catalog Size: 27176 images spreadout over approximately 150 folders
 
Primary Problem: The image counts represented on folders in LR are not reflecting accurate counts until I run "Synchronize Folder" option.  This occurs on a fairly frequent basis and in a number of cases I can reproduce the problem.
 
History: This missing of images in a folder has been plaguing me since the initial release of LR. During that time I opened a case and Adobe Technical Support who took over my desktop and were also able to reproduce the problem. They had no fix but said that it was a software bug and would be corrected in a subsequent release. I am now on LR 4.1 and it still is present.
 
Specific Examples:
1) I will go to a folder looking for an image that I know at one time was visible in LR but now it no longer is there.  So, I search for it using LR on such attributes as filename or keywords without success. I then open up  Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder and there it is.  I can even right-click on the file name and open it up in Adobe Photoshop.  I don't like going that route because I lose any adjustments I may have applied in LR.  So my solution has been to right-click on the folder of the file that is missing the image(s) and select "synchronize folder". I am then presented with a dialog box that displays the number of missing (that LR calls"new") photos. Next, I click on the "Synchronize" button in which I am then presented with the import screen and shown the missing images.  I then click on "Import" button and when the updating process is finished the folder Count is now correct and image shows up in the folder.
 
2) I can reproduce this behavior every time when I open an image in PS from LR, duplicate it, convert the duplicate to Black & White (Image-->Adjustments-->"Black & White"), apply an action to reduce the file size and change the color space, and then save it as a jpeg in a folder called "web" sitting under the original source folder. After saving it the count on the folder does not change, at least not until I go through the "Synchronize Folder" process.  Ironically, if I now go to the original color image that the B&W was duplicated from and convert and save it as a jpeg to the same folder the folder updates immediately. 
 
3) After importing a large number of images from a photo session into LR (via a card reader) I will delete the unwanted images, assign a subject specific naming convention to the remaining ones, attach keywords, and then use the export function to transfer them to their various subject related folders for long-term storage.  Since missing images has been a long-standing problem for me,  out of paranoia I will go to the folders to verify that the images are present For example, recently I exported 50 images to a folder and then went to it to verify all the images transferred correctly.  I was unable to find five of the images.  After running "Synchronize Folder" the folder amount was updated in the images appeared in the folder.  All of files in this case were Canon RAW (CR2).

Illustrator :: Custom Swatch Library Isn't Updating In CC

Jan 17, 2014

I have a big custom swatch library that I'm continually making additions and corrections to. I have it set as persistent, and the library works fine, but it doesn't update when I make changes to it. As far as I can tell, it's still stuck at the point where I upgraded to CC a few months ago. I've tried unchecking persistent, closing the library and Illustrator, then reopening and reinstalling the library, and it's still reverting to the old version.
