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.

Thanks for any help!

Hmm, I think the issue is you trying to do everything in pixels, then changing the ppi. Which is playing havoc with what you want to do. Set the ppi to 72, then it should be fine. Only work with ppi when you are creating for print. For screen and the web, the ppi is irrelevant.

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Nope. Some show - some don't.

Illustrator is Automatically Embedding my Linked Images

Is there some sort of "Auto Embed" feature that will embed your linked images?
I have a document that is embedding most of the linked images. It's not happening in all my documents, just one

Did you check this
on Placing the file and then do this
on Saving? If you did, it will embed the file.

Not able to open a PDF file in Creative Cloud Illustrator. It shows missing links and so forth

I'm working on CS5 and saving my AI files as PDF. This is all for print, I have created the outlines, and flattened transparency between an image I had placed in on the PDF. My CreativeCLoud AI is not able to open the PDF. It shows that it is missing links. How do I fix this?

Provide the files linked to.

Color picker on Illustrator CC 2014 shows wrong values

See the image above . The selected area filled color is e6e6e6 ( 230, 230, 230 ) but the color picker shows the wrong value 4d4d4d. Its happens only on Illustrator , What is this actually is there any problem with the color mode settings ? Please help me

You misunderstand me, so don’t be too quick to judge.
I said that the Color panel was more efficient than the Color Picker. It has sliders so that you can adjust colours precisely as you wish first time, rather than just groping somewhere on a big area of colour in the Picker and then having to make fine numerical adjustments afterwards (plus an OK when you’re done).
The Color panel is particularly useful when you are working in CMYK because it ensures that you get clean mixtures when you want them (which the Picker does not, without fine tweaking afterwards).
And if you want to get shades of the same colour, you simply hold down Shift as you drag one of the sliders.
In conjunction with the Swatches panel, I would go for the Color panel any time, but if you prefer the Picker that’s quite all right by me.

Illustrator CC (2014) automatically embedding placed images

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?

This issue is more about Illustrator than Extension Manager. I am afraid it's better to post you question to Illustrator. If you are sure the problem was caused by a specific extension, you can disable or remove it in Extension Manager.

Linked images not showing

Hi,
We're running Illustrator CS4 across a suite of 12 Macs on OS X 10.6.8. Over the last couple of weeks, several accounts have been hit with the same problem, that linking an image in an Illustrator document will not show the images, but just a bounding box. The link information is correct, but I've found no way of getting the image to show, aside from embedding it. Furthermore, saving a document in this state will cause Illustrator to crash when trying to reopen the document.
We use network accounts for the Macs, so all installs are local on each machine, but users access their profile directly from our server. Therefore, all links reference a location on our network and not the local drive. However, there does not seem to be anything wrong with the installs as the issue is with accounts and not the individual client. Once the issue occurs for a user, it occurs on any Mac they log into, while unaffected users can use any Mac without issue.
Our network has run in this state for a year now and the problem has only surfaced recently. I've tried clearing user's preference files relating to Illustrator, but this has had no effect. It's also random when creating a new user on the network, as some will have the issue and others not, despite all being created with the same set of default preferences.
If anyone has come across anything similar, or has any idea of what to look at with this, I'd be very grateful for some help.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the response. First of all, you'll have to excuse me if I get a few points wrong, as I'm not too familiar with Illustrator. However, in answer to your questions;
The layers panel is showing "<Linked File>" next to an empty white box.
Turning off preview does show the boxes you describe.
I've no idea how to go about checking if an image is beyond the mask bounds. However, I've used the same image for testing across accounts and it displays fine on those that aren't having this issue.
Also, in the top left corner of Illustrator, the name os the linked image does display and the options available when clicking that do seem correct and working. Relinking from there does nothing, but I can open the image for editing etc. None of this helps in getting the image to display though.
As for the server side, we have always used a Mac server at the same version as the clients.
Thanks,
Simon

Resizing linked images in Illustrator results in choppy looking images

I have been using illustrator and CS software for many years now, and I have one major problem with the CS5 version of illustrator:
I cannot resize any linked images without compermising the images quality. I am a professional and have a deep understanding of illy but cannot figure this out!
Details:
-I am not trying to size UP. I'm Talking about taking an image and shrinking with the transform tool.
-The image also looks choppy when I rotate the image.
-This resizing issue doesn't have anything to do with how it renders in illustor. If I export a tiff file I get the same problem.
-I am not talking about dramatic resizing, just within 50% or even less of the original size
My workaround has been to export a tiff at 300dpi and then editing the tiff in photoshop by placing the linked image on a second layer and positioning it to cover up the "choppy" image. This is obvisouly a terrible work flow but it has worked so far.
Another workaround would be to resize the image in photoshop first and then place it in illustrator at 100% the size so I don't need to resize anymore.
Can anyone help me? thank you so much!!!!

By resizing a placed image in Illie you are only changing the size, not the content of the image. So if you have an image that is 300 ppi in original size and scale it by 50% in Illie you end up with 600 ppi. What it looks like on screen is not the point, it's the content that matters. You can physically reduce the size of an image in Photoshop. You can also control the final ppi of images for output by the compression method you select when exporting to Acrobat.

Illustrator Problem linking image

Problem: Working with Illustrator, when I link images twice or three times suddenly the link button does not respond. I have to close Illustrator and open it again and then I can use the link button again only twice.
Any suggestion?

Extracting Linked images from PDF

Good afternoon,
I have a PDF which I created in illustrator but unfortunately I had a problem with with my computer which meant that the recovered files were corrupted. I found a PDF on disc which opens in Acrobat just fine but when I open it in illustrator it asks for the linked images which of course I do not have.
The linked images must be in the PDF as they show up ok.
Is there a way of extracting the images from the PDF so that I can do a repair in illustrator?
Hope someone can help.
Thank you,
Kirk

If you have photoshop, open that pdf from it. File/open, then chose images...
Another option, if you have Acrobat Pro, go to Advanced/Document procesing/Export images

Adobe ideas not syncing keeps trying to open illustrator CC 2014

Hi I have got adobe ideas and it has been working fine. I bought a pressure sensitive stylus so have been using it again but I cannot for the life of me sync. I have read and re read all the info on these forums and there is no answer, I have uninstalled, signed in signed out etc but nothing has worked. One this that is strange it Illustrator CC 2014 is trying to open, I never knew I had this as I am using Illustrator CC. When I try and sync the CC 2014 trys to open and then quits with an error message saying reopen, ignore or report. I have looked in my CC on my mac and I can see CC2014 and it says up to date. Very annoying and frustrating I pay for the service and I have just bought an expensive stylus and now I can't get any files to upload in CC. I have updated a plug in in my CC which was for touch apps. Please help
Thanks Charlotte

Hi I just thought I would post on here what I have been doing since last night and all this morning!
I have solved the problem and this is how I did it;
I checked to see if Creative Cloud was working while syncing with Adobe Sketch app which I downloaded. It did work so I knew this was not the problem but ti took a bit of the for the file to appear in Creative Cloud folder.
Then I thought there must be a problem with Illustrator because I had Illustrator CC (2014) showing in my CC and not my desk top. Every time I tried to send anything to Illustrator CC (2014) from Adobe ideas, it kept trying to open and then crash. I found a good solution by following the instructions of the following help website from Adobe CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed I was having this problem and found the uninstaller of illustrator CC (2014) on my mac and uninstalled it. I also got rid of a file they tell you to get rid of. I signed out of CC and then signed back in and I saw Illustrator CC (2104) was ready to install again. I did this and waited ages as you do and I have just gone into Adobe ideas, sent a file to Illustrator and to my surprised has opened Illustrator CC (2104) without crashing and there is my file. I hope this helps for anyone else having a problem, Thanks Charlotte

Illustrator CC 2014 UI scaling issue

Hi. Why the new Adobe Illustrator CC (2014) show the toolbox and tool to much large in the screen. I have the two software install in my computer
Look the differences between the screen:
Thanks for the help if you know the problem.
MHCDESIGN

That really doesn't fix anything. My computer is already scaled to 125%, and everything else is properly scaled. Here is a side by side on-screen comparison (CC on the left, CC 2014 on the right, and text scaled to 125%). I was annoyed at first that CC 2014 didn't update and replace CC, but now I'm glad, because until this issue is resolved I won't be using CC 2014.

Illustrator CC 2014 Links Panel Displaying Incorrectly

Hi,
I am having trouble with the Links panel in Illustrator CC 2014.
The panel does not display correctly, it seems to hide all of the link information and preview unless I enlarge the panel to a huge size.
Even if I resize the window it still displays incorrectly and hides all of the link previews. The same also happens when I hide all of the link information as well.
Is anyone else having this problem and / or has a solution?
Thank You.

Has a solution been found?I am actually having another issue with the links panel and the links themselves. Sometimes my links panel will not even show up when clicking Window>Links Panel. Whether it shows up or not, I can no longer work with linked images in illustrator. Simple clicking on a linked image inside a clipping mask causes illustrator to stop for about five minutes. Releasing the clipping mask takes another five. Moving the image behind the clipping mask takes another five along with re-making the clipping mask. It is certainly not the hardware because I can quickly minimize illustrator, make edits in PS, download a movie while playin iTunes...while illustrator is taking 5 minutes to move an object. I am truly stumped by this, someone please help as it costing me hours and hours of time at work.

PDF annotation with link, image doesn't show, only in print or Google Chrome, not Adobe Reader main

We are creating PDF files with annotations, we are using the O2 Solutions PDF Library for C#. We used to create PDFStampAnnotations, but now we want to make the images clickable, to navigate to the URL belonging to the image.
Therefore, we are now using PDFLinkAnnotations, with a PDFImageAppearance.
We set the flags of the annotation to Print.
However, the annotation won't show in the PDF in Adobe Reader. It does show in the Google Chrome inline PDF viewer.
It also shows in the print preview window in Adobe Reader.
But it does not show in the normal view in Adobe Reader. What we do see is, when hovering over the rectangle that should contain our image, our mouse cursor becomes a hand and a tooltip with the link is displayed. If we click, everything works as expected. But we don't see an image!
What can we do about this? This is really annoying, as I don't have a clue why it won't work. Actually, to me, this looks like a bug in Adobe Reader?

Thank you for your reply.
Indeed, I tried saving a PDF that had the "default appearance", it shows exactly the same. So it looks like it "can't" show the image.
However, of course, I do want the image to be shown. How can I achieve this? How can I tell Adobe Reader (and other PDF viewers) I really really realllyyyyy want to see that image there? I believe I'm not doing anything really exotic, right? There must have been tons of other people that wanted to do the same thing, I guess?
                    var annotation = new PDFLinkAnnotation
                                Action = new PDFUriAction(this.GetCodeUrl(code)),
                                Contents = AnnotationIdentifier,
                                Appearance = new PDFImageAppearance(bitmapImage),
