When I embed a linked image in a document it 'grows' in thickness. What do I need to do to maintain what it looked like before embedding?

I am using a mac - OSX 10.7.5
I have Adobe Creative Suites - CS5 - Illustrator version is 15.0.2
The contents I am placing are all Vector - Illustrator files
I used 'simple' linear (line) drawings from SolidWorks that have been converted to ai files. It's just weird because I checked the stroke of the drawing and it's not out of line (stroke is about .5 pts). I also made some of the labels in the examples below earlier and they didn't exhibit the 'larger stroke images'. Perhaps I clicked on something in the Preferences or some other place that caused my problem?
I am attaching part of some box labels. You can see how the drawings, of the products, on the 'left side' are "thick" (strokes have grown) after embedding them. I think the "Global Logo" was pasted into a template that was not linked and embedded - that's why it's okay. But look at the Quiet Thunder logo - it looks terrible. These labels are only 2.25" X 6.5", so its important I keep the images lightweight.
Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you!

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

How to embed a link image with pop up windows?

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to embed a link
within flash movie? Once you click on it, it will pop up a new
window, but I want to disable the toolbars, status bar ..., and
only show the jpg image for this window.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it in flash?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

If the Oracle Web Application you are talking about uses OAFramework then you can use personalization to add a link to the Ebiz suite page. But in order to fetch the userId and append it to the URL of the link you need to extend the controller in that page and set the destination of the link you had added in the controller. You have APIs on pageContext when you override the processRequest of the extended controller to fetch the userId. You can then create the URL by appending the userId and set it on the linkBean.
If you are new to OAF then you should read the devguide and personalization guide to get yourself familiarised with extending OAF application.

New Collection from links/images in current document - is this possible?

Our team includes PC and Mac users.
We have CS5.5 - InDesign v7.5.3
I'm currently running Win7
This might be a post for the Bridge forum, but since we want the workflow to begin with InDesign...
I did try searching here, there, and within Exchange forums.
What we'd like to be able to do is open a document in InDesign that has dozens of links, and by some magical autmotaed (or even manual) process, be able to create a collection - not a snippet - of the linked files. I've tried several ways to get this to happen both from within ID and Bridge, no luck.
Is there a way?
Maybe a script?
-Rick

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't want to package or export linked images using the "Copy Links to..." option from the links panel. What either of those options would do would in fact create copies of the images.
Instead, I want to maintain their original locations, maintain links, etc..
So, by the term "collection" in my question what I meant to say is a Bridge Collection (as seen in Bridge or in the Mini Bridge panel). I want to generate such a collection from the items I choose that already are placed within an InDesign document. I've attempted selecting from the Links Panel in ID, selecting from the document itself and dragging in to a pre-existing collection, but this seems to only result in an InDesign Snippet file. I checked contextual menus and panel menus. I also tried the drag operation with various modifier keys just hoping. No luck.
I'm thinking there should be a script or plugin for this... but alas have not found it.

Why, when I make a table in a Thunderbird message, does it now make everything within the table larger, even though it doesn't look like that on my computer?

I have been using Thunderbird to send e-mail newsletters to members of an organization I work for. To do that, I have been using tables to make a coherent looking newsletter. Suddenly, sometime recently in an update or something, ALL OF THE TEXT that is inside the table comes out larger when it is sent. So all my formatting goes to hell. Anything that is OUTSIDE a table, however, looks the same as when I typed it, so it isn't the general formatting of Thunderbird. I have to save everything as a draft (several times, usually) just to try to get it to look right.
I am including two screenshots to illustrate what I mean. The first, called "compose.jpg" shows how I had to adjust the font size to make the tables work as I had intended. This is what I see when I am composing an email newsletter, not the larger font that appears once the email is saved. The second, called "draft.jpg" shows how this same (exact) email looks when it is saved or sent. (This one is saved as a draft.) Notice that the text at the bottom of the message has NOT been enlarged because it is outside the table.

No, the signature is not the issue, it is only an example of the issue. Compare the text size in the "compose" image with that in the "draft" image. For whatever reason, text placed in a table is magnified to be much larger than what I see when I compose it. But ONLY in a table. This means that I must juggle the size of the text after I prepare an e-mail newsletter (using tables for formatting) or it won't look like I expect it to.
This only began to happen sometime late last fall, which is why I wonder if it came as a by-product of some update. What I would like is to be able to specify that the text size I enter in the table remains that size when the email with the table is sent, preferably as a permanent specification, and not necessary every time I do one of these.

Linking images within a document?

Hi,
I'm laying out a photographic book with a visual index at the end containing thumbnails and
captions for each photograph in the book.
Is there a way to link the thumbnails to the images, so that if I change the photo it updates the thumbnail?
If so, is there also a way to input text linked to each photo, so that if the thumbnail changes the text also changes?
Many thanks,
Matthew

Say you have one full size image and a corresponding thumbnail. You want to replace both. A few scenarios:
1. You have the same image placed twice, for the thumbnail the image is scaled down in InDesign. In the Links panel the image will show double placement. Click on the top name, relink to the new image. Both will update.
2. You have the same image placed twice, for the thumbnail the image is scaled down in InDesign. Save and replace the old images in Photoshop. The links come up modified in InDesign, just update. Note: You might want to keep copies of the old images if you ever need them again.
3. You have two versions of the same picture, one large and one small, placed in InDesign. Actually the better option for image clarity, but it's very important to establish a good naming convention for your images. Personally I would not use the same name for the large and small images, it would be confusing. You can re-link to the new images one at a time, or you can save and replace the old in Photoshop and update in InDesign.

For the index I would first select the thumbnail and the caption. Group. Copy. Now create a master text box and paste. The image and caption now behave as a large text character. This keeps them together, they flow like text.
In the event you change the image and the text needs to change in two places, use Find/Change. As long as the text reads the same in the index and the body text, Find/Change will replace both at the same time.

HowTo; Embedd all linked images

I'm looking for a quick and easy way to tell Illustrator to embed all linked images.

If you are providing a native Illustrator file to a printer, don't do this. The printer will prefer the images are provided as editable files.

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.

Changing the linked image for the Image Matte Key doesn't work

When I change the linked image for the Image Matte Key in Photoshop, the link does not change in my Premiere Pro CS6. Sometimes it takes 2-3 times going into the Image Matte Key setting and locating the new matte in Explorer (each time having to re-locate the folder that the matte is in) to see it within the premier monitor. Any suggestions?

Hi
The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

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.

Just learning my track pad; viewed tutorial; when I click a link, message comes up,"open in new window," etc. How to stop messages?

I'm just learning how to use my Track Pad on my MacBook Pro, running iOS 10.9.4. I viewed the tutorial, which helped a lot , but still, when I click a link at odd times (I haven't figured out what triggers it yet) a small window with options such as, 'open in new window' opens up. It doesn't happen all the time. I just want the link to click through without having to deal with the message. When I click it several times, I may finally get it so the link just opens. How can I avoid those messages?

When I add a link to an image it stops aligning with text

I have my icon vertically aligned perfectly with a line of text right after it, but when I add a link to the icon, the text moves to the top of the image (not above it, but just aligned to the top of the image so it isn't centered vertically anymore). I am not changing anything but adding the link. I have had this issue before and wasn't able to fix it....

If you created your page from a Dreamweaver template, I am not surprised that it set images up to display: block; Here is what that does:
The element is displayed as a block element (like paragraphs and headers). A block element has some whitespace above and below it and does not tolerate any HTML elements next to it
You could also (if you want to have whitespace above and below image elements) try display: inline-block; Here is what that does:
The element is placed as an inline element (on the same line as adjacent content), but it behaves as a block element
Remember: display: inline; is the default.
