Illustrator CC 2014 Image Auto Embedding Problem

So this happened a lot in previous versions of Illustrator and I could trash my extensions and fix everything. Problem: when I place images, it will automatically embed placed images, making my file sizes huge. Seems to do it more with PSD files, wanting to flatten, etc. How do you reset the extensions in 2014?

Do you make sure that the Link box is checked when using the Place dialog? Also make sure that when you save the file, don not check the box that says Include Linked Files in the Save dialog.

  • Illustrator CC 2014 - save for web cuts off image

    In Illustrator CC 2014 when I save a vector image with a thick stroke (e.g. 20pt) while using save for web and clipping to the image (so not selecting clip to artboard) and scaling to e.g. 20%, then the edges of the drawing are cut off.
    I'm not completely sure but I think previous versions didn't have this issue.
    If I save the image at 100% no edges are cut off.
    I suppose save for web uses the center of the vector line to determine where to cut off the image if the image is scaled down.
    But it should use the outer 'edge' of the stroke to cut off the image.
    Any ideas to the cause or solution?
    P.S.: Yes, I'm a Windows user ;-)

    I've ticked Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds
    That would seem the right way to solve the issue but the problem remains.
    Maybe the origin of the issue isn't because of the centre of the path / artwork size.
    Since there is no problem (with or without "Use Preview Bounds" ticked) using Save for web while scaling at 100% (or higher).
    The clipping only occurs when scaling down.

  • Illustrator cc 2014 grid snap problem

    Since Updating to the whole cc2014 suite last week, grid snapping in Illustrator has been terrible. Literally Nothing really snaps to the grid.
    Does anyone share this problem? Anyone has a solution to this?
    And Yes, i've turned off 'align to pixel grid'.
    I'm working on a mac with OSX 10.9.3 running.
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm having the same exact issue. Before I upgraded to Illustrator CC 2014 I was using Illustrator CS6 and resizing a rectangle that's *off* the pixel grid would snap it to the pixel grid correctly. The snapping to pixel grid is the main reason I use Illustrator for web UI design. There were some bugs in CS6, like if the artboard was not snapped to the pixel grid then all the elements on the page would be off the pixel grid at the same distance that the artboard was off. That was an easy fix - just realign the artboard to the pixel grid and all the rectangle objects would snap to the grid when resized. But with Illustrator CC 2014 nothing snaps to the pixel grid.
    HOW TO REPRODUCE:
    Create a new document.
    Go to Pixel Preview.
    Zoom in to pixel level.
    Drag a rectangle on the screen.
    As you can see - IT IS snapped to the pixel grid (it happens only on creation).
    Grab the free transform anchor point and drag it up and to the right.
    As you can see - IT IS NOT snapped to the pixel grid.
    Try to drag the corner to free transform it to snap to the pixel grid. It doesn't work.
    Try to snap it to the pixel grid - it doesn't snap.
    Try to snap it to the pixel grid - it doesn't snap.
    Profit? No.
    SCREENCAST:
    http://quick.as/y0rwhymv
    GIF:
    As you can see it's very hard to snap to pixel. And even when it looks like it snaps, it actually is not on the pixel grid line.

    IMAGES:
    Dragging new rectangle:

    Resize it using free transform - gets off the pixel grid.
    2drag.png
    Continue to try to snap it back to the pixel grid using the transform tool, but still doesn't work:
    3drag.png
    Rinse and repeat. Still really bad. Snapping to pixel doesn't work anymore!
    4drag-but-nothing.png
    As you can see there is no way of snapping a rectangle back to the pixel grid!! Here are my settings:

    Illustrator team - PLEASE FIX THIS BUG! I love using Illustrator for web design and UI mockups, but this bug makes it almost useless. There's no way to create pixel perfect designs with this bug. I hope all the information I provided above helps pinpoint the bug. Thanks!

  • Illustrator CC 2014: show exact linked image transform?

    In Illustrator CS6 and previous the link information for a placed image would show the transform details in, well, detail. In the latest version it now only shows a rounded number which is worthless for me. The scaling never shows a scale after the decimal and the rotation only a single rounded decimal.
    Example image:
    Illustrator CS5: Scale (H,V): (131.641%, 131.641%, Rotate: -1.459º
    Illustrator CC 2014: Scale (H,V): (132%, 132%, Rotate: -1.5º
    Is there another way to show the detailed scale/rotation of an image?

    That's a good idea. Unfortunately, same problem if I move the image to desktop or same folder as file.
    If I resave the file (JPG in this case) the error disappears.
    I understand this can be the solution, but given this issue had not happened before, it's interesting it is happening with CC 2014.
    Attached is the image in question. Note that this is not the only image. It has happened with older design files that were made from older versions of cc or before cc.
    I'm not sure if the uploader will recreate the JPG so I'll compress the file and is available here if anyone would like to test.

  • Can't move one anchorpoint to another anchorpoint accurately anymore in Illustrator CC 2014. No problems in former versions. Any idea?

    When I want to put an anchorpoint of one object on top of an anchorpoint of another object it jumps off the position I would like to put it. Other versions never had this issue! I need to work very accurately for my designs! Illustrator CC 2014 has this problem.
    Snap to grid, smart guides, etc putting on or off, doesn't help...........
    I pay monthly quite an amount of money for Illustrator. I don't want to waiste any working time on solving problems occuring after updating. I have no need of new features "to fluff up Illustrator" , I need an efficient programm to work with!
    Sorry for being so annoyed, but las Friday I chatted with Illustrator helpdesk, which also cost me a few hours of my working time! I need to work...not to keep spending time on tutorials, solving new problems and finding things out! That is not what I pay for...sorry Adobe!

    jolieu,
    In cases like this, the first guess is Align to Pixel Grid.
    You may select everything and then untick Align to Pixel Grid in the Transform pallete, and also untick Align New Objects to Pixel Grid in the flyout options.
    You may avoid document types with that as default (RGB for web and the like) or change the default for such documents.

  • Problems installing Illustrator CC (2014) and InDesign CC (2014) on OS X Yosemite

    I'm currently having problems installing Illustrator CC (2014) and InDesign CC (2014) on OS X Yosemite. Both applications fail with the message "Installation Failed: The download appears corrupted. Please try again after a few minutes.(-60)".
    I've tried uninstalling Illustrator CC and InDesign CC and then reinstalling, but still get the same error message. Other applications in Creative Cloud all install without issues.
    Has anyone else experienced this issue and resolved it please?

    Sorry for the slow response. My Mac wouldn't boot following a failed Yosemite update. I've since reinstalled Yosemite but the exact same problem persists. My Mac is standalone and not on a managed network.
    Thank you for the troubleshooting link. I've tried the recommended fix for the -60 error but it doesn't appear to be possible to download the trial version of Illustrator or InDesign for CC editions. They just trigger the Creative Cloud installer and shortly after the -60 error again.
    The problem is still specific to Illustrator and InDesign and I've tried uninstalling all Creative Cloud applications and reinstalling. Every reinstalls except InDesign and Illustrator.

  • Problems with Illustrator CC 2014 in Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen.

    Hello to everybody!
    Some times ago Adobe has updated Illustrator to CC 2014 version and now it support touch pressure\pan\zoom in Windows 8 tablets. I have Sony Vaio Fit 15A with N-Trig touch screen and digitizer pen with pressure-sensitive support.
    I was extremely disappointed that the brush in new version does not work correctly. Watch the video please that I did specifically for the demonstration.
    I use Adobe Illustrator CS6 and Adobe Illustrator CC 2014 for comparison. In the old version the brush is works correctly. You must do a lot of clicks to start the brush in CC 2014 version (please see video). What causes of the problem? Please help me!

  • Tengo un problema con el Illustrator CC 2014

    Hola, pues resulta que me descarge el CreativeCould para instalarme las apps de Photoshop, Illustrator, Audition, entre otros...
    Me instale todas y la verdad es que van bien, se abren todas y funcionan bien, menos el illustrator.
    Se caraga el illustrator CC 2014, sale la nueva caratula del leon tan chula. Y despues se abre el programa, sale una pesntaña con sus novedades, le doy al boton de hecho, y nada mas darle te esperas dos o tres segundos y se cierra el programa, impidiendome trabajar con el.
    Ya lo e intalado y desinstalado varas veces para ver si se solucionaba el problema pero simepre que lo hago me pasa lo mismo. Y solo me pasa con el Iluustrator, ya que los demas programas se me abren bien y puedo trabajar con ellos..
    URGE--- 

    La verdad no lo he buscado,
    Pues creo que deberías preocuparte en buscarlo si te interesa o necesitas solucionar el problema, o no?
    si me pueden dar un link seria fantastico.
    Incluso sin siquiera conocer el pais, es posible que no acertemos en ello.
    Prueba lo siguiente:
    En la página principal de Adobe, arriba a la derecha pondrá: Search (o buscar).
    Pulsa y escribe: Soporte Técnico Chile (o el pais que sea)
    (me parece que no hace falta decirte mas).

  • Problem Lab color mode in Illustrator CC 2014

    What is the best way to choose a CMYK color mode in Illustrator? When I want to import a file from Illustrator to InDesign it will automatically be converted to a Lab color mode and I can not change the CMYK values. All colors from Illustrator are therefore in a Lab color mode. I work with Illustrator CC 2014, thank you very much!

    Thank you I think I understand what you mean. I added a Illustrator and Indesign picture to show you what happens. I made a file in Illustrator with the right values and saved it as a eps file. Then I imported in to Indesign and the second picture shows what happens. I never had this problem but since the new CC version I can't change it.

  • Problem report: "Can't open the illustration. The image has already been specified, it cannot be changed."

    I got a problem with my files I created in Illustrator CS6. After I closed them and wanted them to open up again, this problem report popped up:
    "Can't open the illustration. The image has already been specified, it cannot be changed."
    If I click OK, there is a white site with nothing on it. No object, no pictures, nothing.
    The Illustrator file has still the right size and when I start ArtFiles to collect all used pictures and fonts it's no problem.
    In Adobe Bridge there is still a preview of the original file and I can see what HAS to be placed in the file.
    Can anybody help me out?
    We had to make all the work again for a presentation but this is not the solution for this problem if that will happen in the future again.
    Thank you in advance!

    Thank you for your answer!
    Actually there is no CS5 installed on our computers (no more). I will try to get one from our admin. Hope this will work! In the meantime we had this problem several times.
