Environment
Illustrator 30.8.2, macOS 26.6.2 (Apple silicon)
Files on a local external SSD, not a network or cloud drive
"Create PDF Compatible File" on; images linked, not embeddedIssue
A large linked CMYK image (about 4,250 × 9,560 px, 8-bit, with transparency, around 120 MB) shows correctly in Illustrator. When the .ai is placed in another document, or read by other PDF software, that image is missing. Everything else in the file shows.What I found when I inspected the saved file:
The native Illustrator data holds the placed image correctly: right path, position and scale.
The PDF-compatible part of the same file doesn't contain the image at all.
When the image was on its own layer, the PDF-compatible data had that layer, but empty.
Other linked PSDs in the same file were written normally. Only this image was dropped.These made no difference:
Linking the PSD or a TIF version of the image
Deleting the extra alpha channel
Placing the image fresh on a new layer
Removing its clipping mask
Moving it fully inside the artboard
Deleting a second artboardWhat fixed it:
Workaround: turn off Preferences → File Handling → "Save in background", then save again. The image then appears correctly.
Also works: File → Save a Copy as PDF includes the image.Notes
The bug-tracker entry for this was marked fixed in 30.3. It still occurs in 30.8.2 with "Save in background" on.
Saved copies stay broken until re-saved with background save off, so affected files can go on to other apps or to print without anyone noticing. -
Opacity mask editing mode is broken, changes made are not visible unless Clip / Invert option is selected
