Embed an image within the document
Rather than link to a file that you’ve placed in a document, you can embed (or store) the file within the document. When you embed a file, you break the link to the original. Without the link, the Links panel doesn’t alert you when the original has changed, and you cannot update the file automatically.
Embedding a file increases the document file size.
- Select a file in the Links panel.
- Choose Embed File in the Links panel menu. The file remains
in the Links panel marked with the embedded-link icon
.
Note: For a text file that appears in the Links panel, select
Unlink in the Links panel menu. When you embed a text file, its
name is removed from the Links panel.
