Displaying linked files when in Outline mode


    When you view a document in Outline mode, linked files are normally displayed as outlined boxes with two diagonal lines. The Show Images in Outline option lets you view the contents of linked files instead.

To display linked artwork when in Outline mode:

  1. Choose File > Document Setup. Then choose Artboard from the pop-up menu at the top left of the Document Setup dialog box.
  2. Select Show Images in Outline, and then click OK.
  3. Note: When you view a document in Preview mode, linked files are always displayed, regardless of the Show Images in Outline option. The only exceptions are EPS files without previews and linked files that cannot be found.
