Can open pdf in CS3 with embedded images, put when opened in CS6 or CC the images are missing

Hi, Would really appreciate some help on this.
I frequently get artwork from clients saved as illustrator eps and pdfs files, that can be opened within CS3 and printed, no problem.
Having recently gone to CS6 and now CC I sometime find I can't open artwork supplied, as the images (links) are missing.
The same documents seem to open in CS3 without any problem.
Could someone explain why this is, and how I can open these documents within the newer versions of illustrator without the missing link problems
kind regards
Ed

I suspect your documents are some higher version than CS3 but lower or equal than CS6.
So in CS3 you actually open the PDF part with images ambedded, while CS6 accesses the Ai part without images.
You really should ask the clients to supply files according to whatever specification you need.
But you can also extract the images from the PDF parts of your file simply by opening them in Photoshop. Then select "Images" in PDF options and open the images you need.
