Used Illustrator 26.0.2 to create lay up for proofing at my printshop and used package to gather everything. Content is usually links to other PDF's or JPG's. Neither they or I can open the Illustrator file in Acrobat DC and have all its content visible.
They should look like the first attachment "embedded" version attached to this post which opens correctly in Acrobat. The second attachment is the version from the package. I tried Illustrator 26.3.1 on another system and same result when Acrobat DC opens the PDF. Acrobat has show large images enabled and Accessibility replace document colors disabled. Is Acrobat unable to use an Illustrator PDF with its package?

The original posting had links to the problem files which are too large to be attached. It was marked as spam and not visible. Moderator removed links and it reappeared.
Thanks for reaching out. It seems linked images are missing in one of your linked files. Once you embed all the images or relink them in your Ai files, the issue will be resolved. Here is the link to the PDF file with all the visible data: https://shared-assets.adobe.com/link/7a37ee45-b617-4996-5b6a-0f8501c075e2
When viewed in Illustrator, the "base" file displays all images correctly. It follows the links into the linked files which may have other linked files. The gather operation is supposed to included everything a print shop would need to open the "base" file. It does not seem to be recursing through the linked files and including their content. If I embed everything, this can be opened in Acrobat. Embedding makes the "base" 100's of MB.
Thanks for getting back to me. It seems to be an issue with a specific file. I understand the workaround of embedding the links will increase the size, which may not be ideal in some cases. Would it be possible for you to share the Ai files including the linked images and we will check it on our end? If yes, you can upload them on Creative Cloud or any similar service and share the download link here.
