Previewing and printing patterns and
placed EPS images
Placed EPS images from other applica-
tions and objects that are filled with
patterns can slow performance when
previewing and printing artwork.
The Show Placed Images option in the
Document Setup dialog box lets you
choose whether placed EPS images
display a 1-bit preview when seen
in Artwork view. (For information on
placed images, see Opening and placing
artwork.)
The Preview and Print Patterns option in
the Document Setup dialog box lets you
specify whether patterns appear in your
artwork when you preview or print your
illustration. For information on patterns,
see About custom colors, gradients, and
patterns.
These options are on by default. Turn off
these options when you need to work
quickly—for example, when you are
editing nonpatterned parts of the art-
work. You can then turn these options
back on when you want to view the
finished art.
