Illustrator CS4 problem placing large files

May 13, 2009 11:48 AM

I don't know if this is a new option I need to set in illustrator CS4 or if this is a bug but when I try to place large tif files into illustrator (larger than 15mb) it just doens't do anything. No error message or dialogue. Just acts like you never placed the file. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    Does the TIFF file contain transparency? If so AI didn't used to be able to import transparent TIFF files.

    It is funny that CS2 and CS3 can do this without a problem. I think is another CS4 bug.

    When I get back to the States I will I am in Amsterdam today but I will look at it on wednesday but I have placed such fiels both flattened and layered tiffs.

     

    The only thing it will not place is 16 bit tiffs, it should automatically convert them to 8 bit but let me see what it does with 16 buit tiffs that are linked.
