Embedded images

Sometimes when we place a copy of a slideshow on another computer we get a warning message that some images are missing. Is there any way to ensure all images are embedded?

Greetings and welcome to the Forum:
I don't know if this might resolve your problem, but I have found by experience that rather than doing a SAVE when I create or modify a slideshow, if I do a SAVE-AS, using the same or a new filename, it seems to work better when I reopen the file or copy it to another drive or computer.
Also, be sure that the suffix .key is appended to the filename when you do the SAVE-AS.
Good luck.

Illustrator converting paths to embedded images

I have a funky issue that I've come across. I have several files that were made using Illustrator CS3. There is a particular type of path item in them (a basic shape path with gaussian blur applied to them) that when I open up the file using CS6 that path item is treated by Illustrator like it's a embedded image.
I've remade those items as an actual path item with gaussian blur applied, and all seems fine until I save and re-open the file, they become embedded images again. I'm thinking it might be an issue with a setting somewhere but I'm not finding it.
I have several files of the same type that don't have this issue but I'm not finding any difference between them. At this point I'm stumped...any suggestions?

After playing around with things for a while I've learned that what I must do is choose "Save as..." with the file, then it will change it to a CS6 file and the world seems happy, but because I had warning dialogs supressed it wasn't alerting me to the fact that the file still was a legacy file when I simply saved, and when I chose "Save as..." I just wasn't making it far enough to get to the dialog where I got to change the file type. Again, most of the files (which were all created at the same time) were not having this issue which was why it was confusing...

OBIEE 10G Embedded Image not displayed on PDF

Hi
We have some embedded images (source on network share or on the webserver) on a dashboard. On the screen the images are displayed without problems.
But if we want to print the dashboard (f.e. PDF) the images are not printed. In html-view the images would be displayed.
Is there a known bug that images can't be printed on dashboard pages or do we have to embed them different?
Thank you

Hi Team,
I do face the same issue of image not displayed in only pdf output format. Our client has deployed OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1 using Weblogic application server and is accesible through a secured url access.
I have followed the fmap syntax to locate the image, also made sure the image is getting accessed through url, tried with different images of different sizes . In all cases the image display is appearing fine in HTML & Excel output. But not getting displayed only for pdf output.
Can you please help me with this regard if am missing any specific setup for pdf output. Is there is any pointers or documentation available to get around this issue.
Thanks in advance.

OBIEE 11G Embedded Image not displayed on PDF

Hi
I have some embedded images on a dashboard. On the screen the images are displayed without problems.
But if we want to print the dashboard (f.e. PDF) the images are not printed. In html-view the images would be displayed.
All the images are referenced with the fmap path.
Any way to print the images in the pdf ?

Embedded image in html body of the email is not appearing in Outlook mail box

My application Basically gets the un delivered emails from the outlook account.Composes the email from information then also appends the signature of email.The signatures may be multiple , form will show these signatures as a dropdown usin webbrowser control there both image as well as links appear well.But the same if draft them to outlook drafts folder the image in the signature misses and shows image not available.II fetch the signature from user local signature folder , convert it base64 string and set the string as source for image element and append this body of the email.I basically use Outlook COM object to achieve thesepublic void AddImageContentToHtml(List<TamDetails> tamList,string html,string key)

Hi ssanjay.brillio,
According to your description, you'd like to send a email with an embedded image in the signature.
I suggest you sending the image in the last of the body of email instead of operating the signature of email.
The following example codes demonstrate how to send email using ImportHtml method with embedded images.
SmtpMail oMail = new SmtpMail("TryIt");
SmtpClient oSmtp = new SmtpClient();
// Set sender email address, please change it to yours
oMail.From = "[email protected]";
// Set recipient email address, please change it to yours
oMail.To = "[email protected]";
// Set email subject
oMail.Subject = "test HTML email with embedded image";
// Your SMTP server address
SmtpServer oServer = new SmtpServer("smtp.emailarchitect.net");
// User and password for ESMTP authentication, if your server doesn't require
// User authentication, please remove the following codes.
oServer.User = "[email protected]";
oServer.Password = "testpassword";
// If your smtp server requires SSL/TLS connection, please add this line
// oServer.ConnectType = SmtpConnectType.ConnectSSLAuto
try {
// Import html body and also import linked image as embedded images.
// 'test.gif is in c:\\my picture
oMail.ImportHtml("<html><body>test <img src=\"test.gif\"> importhtml</body></html>", "c:\\my picture", ImportHtmlBodyOptions.ImportLocalPictures | ImportHtmlBodyOptions.ImportCss);
Console.WriteLine("start to send email with embedded image ...");
oSmtp.SendMail(oServer, oMail);
Console.WriteLine("email was sent successfully!");
} catch (Exception ep) {
Console.WriteLine("failed to send email with the following error:");
Console.WriteLine(ep.Message);
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.

PrintDataGrid's DataGridColumn - Embedded image not printing when you use TextFlow in the item rende

I'm printing a datagrid using something like this...
<mx:PrintDataGrid
id="printDataGrid"
width="100%"
height="100%"
showHeaders="false"
borderVisible="false"
horizontalGridLines="false"
variableRowHeight="true"
dataProvider="{titles}"
>
<mx:columns>
   <mx:DataGridColumn
    itemRenderer="renderer.TitlePrintRenderer"
    />
</mx:columns>
</mx:PrintDataGrid>
TitlePrintRenderer.mxml has s:RichText component. I use RichText's textFlow property to render the text. The approach is working fine except that if the textFlow has embedded images (<img source=... />), the images are not printed!
Is this a bug? Is it a limitation? Has anyone come across this issue?
I'm using Flex SDK 4.5.1

After struggling for 4+ days on using timer / events for printing PrintDataGrid with embedded images in RichText's textFlow, I tried your other suggestion... to convert <img> tags to InlineGraphicElement and give it Bitmap from image loaded from a .gif file. The approach works but the printout skips images in a few rows!
I've this test case in which, every time I print, it skips printing image in the second row! I also implemented this approach in a more complex test case and depending on the total number of rows, it would skip printing image in different number of rows. I'm suspecting that even if you construct InlineGraphicElement from bitmap loaded from an image, PrintDataGrid's renderer still skips printing image intermittently.
I would very much appreciate it if you could create small project from my following code and verify this behavior. I'm at my wit's end in getting this printing to work.

How can I programatically identify PDF files with embedded images?

Our company has 27,266,949 .PDF files that we're planning to compress in order to save server space.
We don't want to compress any of the .PDF files that have embedded images as to not alter the image's state.
How can we programatically create a list to exclude from the compression process?

Ah, see told you we were new to this and no, my taxs already have enough digits to the balance.
Ok, so based on that, we should be able to use the preflighting tool to identify the PDF’s with images, factor them out, and then continue with lossless compression on the remaining balance.
That will give us the compression we need to save space, but also allow us to stand in the court of law (if the scenario was to ever occur) and proclaim that none of our medical images have ever been altered by compression.
Sound like a reasonable plan?

Why can't I print embedded images in a Thunderbird E-mail? I just get blank boxes for the images.

I am a copyeditor who receives feedback from my clients re: manuscripts I have edited. They will often sent e-mails that include small screen captures from parts of their style guide or screen captures of the proof that is in question (small sections, like a paragraph or an equation, or a header that needs to be coded/styled differently for HTML). Now, I can see these fine in the e-mail, but when I go to print them out for my reference binder, the embedded images don't print.
Mozilla, I need these to print; they are quite important to my job.
To keep my e-mail from becoming too bloated, I save these important style issue e-mails into a folder on my desktop I call "Print out for binder", queuing them for the day I can print a bunch of them out and arrange them according to subject matter.
Problem is, they are useless if they don't include these illustrative screen captures; blank boxes are worthless to the context.
It is not my printer that is the problem. if I receive a Word doc with these screen captures, they print fine. But if I try to print from T-Bird, no go. Help. (I can't save these e-mails as Word docs either, which might solve the problem; the only options in T-Bird are "Save as file" or "Save as template".)
Thunderbird is a powerful e-mail program, and one I have been using for over a decade. Why can't it perform this function? Please help. Or point me to an add-on. I haven't been able to find one that addresses this seemingly straightforward, common, and simple problem.

When you select File(or AppMenu/Print)/Print Preview, do the images appear? Do the images print if you check 'Print background (colors & images)' under File/Page Setup? I don't have any problems printing a message with an embedded image, at least to an xps file.
I devised a workaround that might help, failing a real solution: install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/unmht/ unMHT] in both TB and Firefox, and then File/Save As MHT in TB. Open the mht file in Firefox, and Print.

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.

I had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

Extract Embedded Images-did you know that-

there is actually a feature in Illustrator to do this even though it is not called Extract Images?
Not only that once you extract the image you can update it as well you do not have to lace it again and reposition it.
When I saw this and realize it was there I could not believe it as it has been asked so many times and there have been numerous work arounds.
The reason I think it has passed everyone by is that it is not located in the links panel.
So to the chase.
Edit>Edit Image
and then
Edit>Update Image
The former opens the embedded image in Photoshop
edit it there and then save it
then back in Illustrator go to the latter and it will be updated.
Never noticed this before.
The only draw back is that it seems to only work on one image at a time.
I wonder how many users here knew about this little feature?

Why not?
You will have trouble getting the original resolution in case the image has been scaled in Illustrator.
Yes you're right about that, and it is the best way if you have the original Illustrator file with the embedded image.
In my defense, I'm mostly having to do this sort of thing with PDFs that are sent to me. Most cases I have to change something in the PDF or pull artwork out for another project we are working on. After opening the PDF in Illustrator, we then just copy the image and even paste it straight into an email (Mac) and request the original file. If the original is not to be had, we then paste the image into a new Photoshop file and relink it. If need be, we'll replace it with another image later.
@rijackson --- you most surely can "Relink"... well that's what the button you choose in Illustrator is called... even if the image is embedded. This will place the image in the exact same place and size as the embedded image, thus "linking" it if you checked the Link box when placing.
Also, you can always choose Link Information and see what transformations the image has went through regarding size and rotation. This is also with a native Illustrator file only. The information can be used to calculate what you need to do to the image to revert to it's original size and rotation. Rather unfortunate, because something intuitive like Freehand used to have, like changing the percentage and angle in the Appearance panel was far better and easier to revert images, embedded or linked.
@rijackson --- considering all of the features and functions that Illustrator still does not have or are incomplete... yes, Illustrator as a whole is pathetic as the only pro vector alternative on the market. Not just this one omission, which is easily worked around. That's what I was trying to say to wazi9909.
* I just thought it should be mentioned again, that Monika's correct answer only applies to a native Illustrator file if you have it, AND if you save with PDF Compatibility or as an Illustrator native PDF. With any and all other PDFs saved with a preset like for prepress... the images have been compressed, and will be as we call them "baked". No matter how you copy, paste, export or open, the resolution, size and quality is "finished".

How do I hide the file names/path names of embedded images in a PDF document?

I created a PDF document from a Word document, and the problem is that the PDF document shows the file names and path names for all of the embedded images in the PDF document. I don't want that information displayed. I don't want to send the PDF out to clients and have them read the names I've assigned to those images, plus it looks messy. And I've lost many of the original image files so they only exist in the Word document, thus I can't go back and rename them. I searched the internet for an answer but I couldn't find one anywhere.

When you create a tagged (accessible) PDF file from Word, placed bitmap images will use their filename as the "ALT text" if you don't define something else for the text to say, because an image without any ALT text is a failure against the accessibility standards. You can't change that default action, so you should put your own meaningful text into the ALT field for each image - which is what you should be doing anyway if the PDF is standards-compliant.
You can can set the text in Word, but it depends on your version as to where the dialogs are - Google for it - or you can change/delete it in Acrobat using the tags navigation pane on the left side of the window (right-click the sidebar if it's not visible). Drill down through the tags structure to find the "<Figure>" tag you want to change, right-click and choose Properties, then put something in the "Alternative text" field. This process isn't something you can easily automate, but if you don't need tags at all, you can save without tags (or print to PDF).

Sql server reporting services + export to excel + embedded images

Hi all,
i got a problem when exporting to excel in ssrs 2008.
i use embedded image in the report. but when i export the report to excel, image is being exported but its width is being changed to size 0 .
but when i click on it and expand it explicitly in excel it is being expanded .
how to make the image by default to its actual width?
how to fix this problem ?

Hi sudeep Puvvadi,
Based on the information posted, I have a test with SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 (SSRS2008) and Microsoft
Excel 2010 by the following steps:
From the Toolbox window, drag the image to the top edge of the design surface.
In the image Properties dialog box, select Embedded from the Select The Image Source drop-down list.
Click import, and select a BMP file from my local computer.
Right-click the image, select Image Properties. In Size category, select Original size.
Export the report to excel.
When opening the excel file, the image displays with original size rightly. So I suggest you to add an image with
the same steps above, then checking whether the image shows correctly. If it still cannot work fine for you, could you please give me a feedback and tell me related settings, so that I can reproduce the scenario exactly and provide further assistance?
Thanks,
Lola Wang

Mail not showing embedded images

This problem has been bugging me for a while.
I am getting some emails (from my company communications) that are incorrectly formatted by Mail. I see big boxes labeled "Missing Plug-in". The rest of the text is there, but those big boxes make the mail hard to read.
So today I decided to look a bit deeper into the problem. I brought it down to the presence of image tags that call for embedded images (included as attachments) using the "cid:" protocol. For example:
<img src="cid:[email protected]" alt="Find" border="0">
Is this a restriction in mail (I am running mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion). Or is there some config parameter I need to tweek to enable support for embedded images ?
Thunderbird has no problem. I also did a quick check with Google Mail and Yahoo Mail, and neither show the images. But they just show nothing, so the resulting email is still readable. Mac OSX Mail shows big boxes with the "Missing Plug-in" note. I would be happy if Mail just ignored the images.
I should point out that mail on iPhone and iPad work fine (they display the images).

Issue opening .AI file with linked/embedded images in Illustrator 6

Received an Illustrator 16.x ai file with 6 Linked\embedded images. Opening in Illustrator 16.0.3 2 images are missing, but opening in Illustrator 15.1 opens them correctly. Illustrator 16.0.3 has warning "Could not find linked file “filename.png”. Choose replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged". Illustrator 15.1 has warning "The file “filename.ai” was created by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.". When I open in Photoshop 12.1 and select Images only 4 images show. The two that are missing in ai. are not showing in Photoshop Images option tab, but are in Photoshop when I open the file using pages option tab. Any idea what is happening here and why Illustrator 15.1 opens fine, but Illustrator 16.0.3 cannot?
Thanks, Dale

Illustrator CS5 opens the PDF part of the file. Images are always embedded in that part, but you might not be able to edit all objects in it.
Illustrator CS6 will access the AI part of the file, where linked images are not embedded. You should ask for the images in order to edit the file.

Why can't I double click to open embedded images?

I want to put this topic in the Features request, but I'm putting it here first to check that I've not made a silly mistake.
I'm slowly getting the hang of Illustrator. But it often feels like I'm learning how to do things in a non-intuative way.
Take Embedded images. Illustrator loves them. I guess its because it doesn't have a 'Collect for Output' feature - but don't get me started on that! Anyway, my point is when I receive a file with embedded images and I want to open those embedded images, my INTUITION tells me to simply double click the image and wait for it to open in Photoshop. After all, aren't Adobe always telling us that Illustrator and Photoshop are seamlessly integrated in ways Freehand can only dream of?
So, I double click and nothing happens. I then double click the thumbnail picture in the Image box. Up comes a Link Information box. Lots of facts and figures except how to open it. Then I click on the blue underlined word saying 'Embedded'. More options here - but none of them any good because I haven't got the original on my system.
To cut a long story short, I finally discover that by copying the embedded image, then opening Photoshop, then opening a new document, then pasting, then clicking the transform tick box, then flattening - I can get to see the embedded pic.
No nifty link back though. If I want to update the image in Illustrator I have place it, scale it position it and delete the original. I tried Relink - but it pasted the new pic at 90 degrees to the original!
So how about it? Double Click Embedded images to open in Photoshop? Change them and they automatically update in Illustrator? Am I asking too much? Am I missing the point?

Not a feature. In fact, there's no way, using just Illustrator, to extract embedded images. But then, it's only at version THIRTEEN! I save a PDF using no downsampling or compression, then open in Photoshop. When you open a PDF in Photoshop you are given the option to rasterize any pages or extract images embedded in the PDF. Choose Images then select the images you want. Save as TIF or PSD and re-link in Illustrator.
Yes, it is stupid.

Mail not displaying embedded images

A few weeks ago, Mail suddenly stopped displaying embedded images in email messages - newsletters, product announcements, etc. The Viewing Preference is still set for "Display remote images in HTML messages," yet all I see are place holders. In my Junk folder, if I click on Load Images in the Junk banner, it refuses to load those images. They simply remain as place holders.
Anyone else experiencing this problem? Suggestions?

Hi gumnutnijna,
Does this only happen when using your GMail account? Do you have any other accounts set up on your BlackBerry smartphone to test with? Also, to confirm, are the messages still in your GMail account inbox on your computer?
Thanks.
