Adobe Illustrator 30.7 | 8, 2026 | Windows Pro 11
An error massage every time open the file:
“An error occurred trying to read the linked file “***.jpg”. Choose Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged.
Replace | Ignore | Cancel”
I linked jpg image under the clipping mask. Saved. Open the Illustrator file. Get error: "An error occurred trying to read the linked file “***.jpg”. Choose Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged.
Replace | Ignore | Cancel"
I choose "Ignore", and what I see is the 1 huge, unscaled image above the clipping group plus 2 scaled images within the clipping group, (3 links in total).
If I delete 1 huge, unscaled image above and 1 scaled image within the clipping group, save, and open again, everything repeats - 3 links in total.
Also, if I scale only an image within the clipping group, it shows SVG processing.
