Turning preview images on or off
If a placed file with the Link option selected was not saved with a preview image in the 
application that created it, it will not be visible in Adobe Illustrator when it is placed. 
Instead, an outlined box containing two diagonal lines appears and defines the artwork’s 
dimensions. The box is placed into the center of the active window, in front of all other 
artwork in the file, and is selected. 
If a placed file was saved with a preview image in the application that created it, you can 
see it in Preview view, and you can choose to display a preview image in Outline view. 
To turn on and off the display of preview images in Outline view:
Choose File > Document Setup. Then choose Artboard from the pop-up menu at the 
top left of the Document Setup dialog box.
Click Show Images in Outline, and then click OK.
Note: Placed images with the appropriate resource always display in Preview view, 
regardless of the Show Images in Outline setting.
Managing linked and embedded images
The Links palette lets you identify, select, monitor, and update, and replace images that are 
linked to external files, or images that are embedded in the Illustrator file. In addition, you 
can determine if an image’s link to an external file is broken or missing, get information 
about linked or embedded image characteristics, and open a linked image’s original file 
and application to edit the image.
If you are color-managing artwork in a document, embedded EPS images are part of the 
document and therefore color-managed when sent to a printing device. In contrast, linked 
images are not color-managed, even if color management is turned on for the rest of the 
document. (See 
Important: Occasionally you may encounter a warning when printing an Illustrator 
document containing embedded EPS images. If the application cannot find the original 
EPS image, you will be prompted to extract the EPS image. Select the Extract option in the 
dialog box; the image will be extracted into the same directory as the current document. 
Although the embedded file does not preview in the document, the file will now print 
correctly. 
Specifying how to update links
You can set a preference to specify how to update linked images when the original files 
change.
To specify how to update links:
Choose Edit > Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Windows and Mac OS 9) or Illustrator > 
Preferences > Files & Clipboard (Mac OS X).
Choose an update method from the Update Links pop-up menu:
Automatically to have Illustrator update linked images automatically when the original 
files are modified.
