Using the Smart Plug-in Inspector with Illustrator files

If you choose the SVG, SVG Compressed, or Shockwave Flash conversion format for Illustrator files, the Smart Plug-in Inspector appears when the Smart Object is selected. The Smart Plug-in Inspector provides additional options that let you specify the location of the source and destination files, the MIME and class of the image, and, most importantly, a Settings button that lets you return to the conversion and optimization settings should you want to make changes after you import an Illustrator file into your Web page. See Adding audio and video clips for details on the options besides Settings available in the Smart Plug-in Inspector.

To change settings for a Smart Illustrator object (in SVG, SVG Compressed, or Shockwave Flash format):

1 Select the Smart Illustrator object on the Web page.

2 Click the Settings button in the Smart Plug-in Inspector. (If the Smart Plug-in Inspector is not already visible, choose Window > Inspector.)

3 Choose the desired format from the Conversion Settings dialog box, and click OK.

Illustrator comes to the front and displays an optimization dialog box appropriate to the format you choose in the previous step. See the Adobe Illustrator User Guide for details on choosing optimization settings for the various formats.

4 Select the desired optimization settings, and click OK.

5 Specify the folder where you want to save the converted image (usually a folder inside your site folder).

6 Click Save.

Adobe GoLive applies the new settings to the Smart Object on your Web page without changing the source file.

Note: You cannot change any conversion settings for Smart LiveMotion objects. The Settings button is dimmed in the Inspector when a Smart LiveMotion object is selected.
