After creating a pdf in photoshop, can I edit it in other programs?

I work for a company that is willing to license Photoshop for a month when big projects come up - but they do not want to purchase a yearly subscription or purchase the whole program. I am creating business cover pages in photoshop - all the images, layout, etc will stay the same. But the text will need to change for each proposal. Is there an easy way to save the image as a PDF & then use another program to change the wording down the line?
(I am pretty sure that I know the answer to this question. No. Just want confirmation before I go an beg for an increased budget)

PDF is a delivery format not meant for editing, even if Acrobat may have a text touch-up and typewriter tool. Generally it's not impossible, but whatever they are gonna do is not gonna look anything like natively editing such stuff in PS, InDesign or Illustrator. and of course all the points Silkrooster laid out already apply - the text could at any point become rasterized and uneditable in the first place depending on what you to with it. Even using some kerning options already does that, not to speek of layer styles and otehr graphical fancy... Also not sure I follow your corporate heads' logic. currently, the Creative Cloud promo is still on, meaning you can have all pro0grams for 30 bucks a month. that's ridiculously cheap. I'm sure they spend more on coffee, paper and the boss' car...

Can I create a PDF document that can be commented on by others using READER

I have dozens (hundreds?) of PDF Books that I've purchased. Whoever created them made them so anyone using Adobe Reader 5 or better can make highlights and comments on the text. I use the feature to correct typos and send them back to the publisher. I know it can be done because I've been doing it for a few years before I ever got Adobe Standard.
So . . . My question is . . . How can I create documents like this that can be commented on using Adobe Reader? I have Adobe Standard 8 and I don't see this as a separate feature of Adobe Pro. and I'm hoping that I'm just missing the instructions on how it's done. I do not have any problem doing what I want using Adobe Standard 8 but I need to be able to make it doable in Reader so others can make comments in my documents.
Thanks for taking the time . . .

"Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" or "Extend Features in Adobe Reader"
are available with Acrobat 8 Professional / 3D version 8 or Acrobat Professional / Pro Extended respectively.
Additionally, Adobe provides a server based service (LiveCycle ES) that "enables/extends" a PDF such that Adobe Reader can be used for Comment, Review, Digital Signature, etc.
That you can use Adobe Reader to comment on PDFs means one of the above applications were used.
Because you have mentioned the PDFs are purchased PDF Books I suspect that LiveCycle ES was used.
This server based application (which has a myriad of "modules" available) is expensive so, typically, it is licensed by enterprises that need its functionality. Examples: the large publishing houses or governmental agencies (e.g., IRS).
If you move up to Acrobat Professional you will be able to "Extend Features in Adobe Reader" such that others can perform Comment & Review on your PDF documents.
As Acrobat 9.x is the current, marketed release the Professional version would be available to you via an upgrade (not to be confused with the free "updates").

After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

After creating a pdf can I change the size of the font when uploading in acrobat and what version?

What do you mean by "uploading in Acrobat"?
(Note that if you change the size of text, it won't reflow, so you end up with a mess. Answer is, probably not useful)

How do I automatically delete a .ps file after creating a pdf?

Hi all! I vaguley remember in the past that there is a preference to automatically delete a .ps file after creating a pdf. Can someone remind me of how to do this? I'm using Distiller version 9.2.0. Thank you so much!
Julie
PS: I'm creating the .ps file from Quark 7, if that makes a difference.

I am unaware of any feature allowing automatic delete of .PS files.
The adobePDF print driver which has been removed in OSX.6.x (Snow Leopard) That you choose when ina Document would go through the following steps in the background this made it slow.
create .ps File (hidden)
Checksum Verify the .ps File
Open Distiller in background (hidden)
Create Pdf
Checksum Verify the .pdf File
shut down Distiller in Backgroun (hidden)
Delete .ps File (hidden)
Pdf suddenly appears
If at any point in this chain something dies the pdf was not made.
Actually in prior OS to X.3.x the print driver provided for my Hp Inkjet, it was actually better to go to print menu, and choose save as postscript, then drop the postsript file on distiller and creat the PDF. or just open the ps in Acrobat.
with the PRint Drive provided for my HP Inkjet for X.3 it was changed to create Postcsript file from PDF. In the start having the PDF button on print menu. The pdf's were not as good as those created in the AdobePDF driver. But were aceptable for most purposes.

Saved my Photoshop file after merging layers then closed Photoshop, can I restore back to how I had it?

Hello,
I saved a really important client Photoshop file after merging layers then closed Photoshop, can I restore back to how I had it before I merged the layers? or just back a day or two..it's been a couple hours.

No, unless… you are on a Mac and have Time Machine backups, or can restore your Windows box back to an earlier poit in time.
But there's nothing within the Photoshop application itself to help you once you save and close a file,

I am using CS3 and want to save a file as a pdf where someone can then edit the text. How can I do this please? Thank you :)

You might be able to use the newest adobe reader program/application for that.
You would have to save your pdf out of photoshop cs3 without any text and then add the text to the pdf in adobe reader.
The text added in adobe reader can't be edited in photoshop, so the other people would have to adobe reader or acrobat to edit the text.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that the program is "locked or in use by another user". I need this fixed immediately.

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.
Thanks in advance.

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X

Can I share files from other programs or just Adobe apps files. I work with Final Cut and Premiere X.? Need to share files up to 6GB.
I need to know if the 20 gb limit is about all that I share, or if it's just about whatis in the clouds. If I take, recover my limit?
The speed of upload e download is good?

The Creative Cloud file storage could be used for video assets but speed and performance might vary based on location. I would suggest you testing it out yourself using your Adobe ID before subscribing. Performance would not change after you joined.

After the uproar from Users about Standard being little more than Apple's Print to PDF; there hasn't been a Standard version for Mac since version 6. So many people were use the features in Acrobat 5 to create Forms that could be filled out by Reader. when the bought 6 Standard they were ready to hang the CEO of Adobe in effigy. When 7 came out is was Pro only.
I'm confused.
The current version of Acrobat comes in Standard, Pro, and Extended Pro versions. Only the Pro version is on the Mac. But that doesn't mean that the Mac community wouldn't have wanted the Standard version of Acrobat.
The Standard version is hardly a mimic of Apple's Save to PDF. The most important features of Standard is to enable Rights in Reader as well as add comments, form fields. etc.
The only thing that Standard does do are the pre-press and production features of Pro.
However, given the difference in price ($450 vs. $300) there is ample reason for business on the Mac OS to buy Standard--if they could buy it.
I didn't say PC users.
I should have said Mac users. Because the Print system and sytem by which Mac users view anything is based on the PDF engine. The Mac sytem can do anything Standard Standrd could do. although in order to placate Adobe the pdf engine used is a version or two behind. If the Mac OS could do everything Acrobat could do there would be no reason for Adobe to provide Acrobat Or Reader for Mac.
And you basing your assumption of what Standard can do a PC. Standard on Mac is basically Mac's Print to PDF wrapped in an Adobe Package. It shad no ability to confer rights to reader (that didn't come to Acrobat Mac until Version 8) and was unable to to create forms. The current version of Acrobat PC comes as Standard, Pro, And extended. There never has and never will be an extended pro version for Mac (that adds the ability to create XML based forms) They don't have the interest. To adobe is little more than a Play toy. Because Windows has so much clout They can dictate what they want. Apple not so much. One advantage Mac does have is that Forms creator is built in. on PC its an adon (it free but an addon or was).
Now back in OS 9 days and Acrobat 5.x Acrobat for Mac and PC were equal. except to have the print press features Mac users had to pay an addition $200.00. (It exactly as you described in your last sentence - except Acrobat 5.x without the printpress and The Acrobat 5 without Print press was $299.00 and $499.00 with Print press.) I know I've used Acrobat since version 3.

Create a PDF file that can be opened in PS

Hello,
I a cartographer that is creating a map with thousands of contour lines (among many other layers) in .ai. Unfortunately, I can't open this map in PS. PS will think for upwards of 10 hours trying to rasterize this file (and at that point it was about 1/100th converted). If I turn the contour layer off, PS can open/rasterize the file in a matter of minutes.
My goal is to open this .ai file in PS and then save it as a .tiff for printing. Does anyone know how to go about doing this? FYI, I have opened this file in InD and exported it as a PDF, but PS can't open it either.
Thanks,
kru

Hello Larry,
I have an information plug-in that gets a little more specific. In all I have 850,000 verticies (2 points and a connecting line segment) which equates to about 5,250 paths. I can't simplify too much, however, I have simplified the paths 5 x at 99%. If I try to simplify at just 95% my contour lines will not line up with my streams and valleys.
Do you know the maximum amount of verticies that can be handled?
Thanks,
kru

Creating a .pdf that someone can sign digitally

Where I work we FAX out hundreds of drawings per year for customers to sign. These are 8.5" x 11" documents usually between one and five pages. Is there anyway to create a .pdf that that has some kind of signature line or signature button that the customer can click to indicate approval of the drawing? This would alleviate the need for both the original FAX and for the customer's return FAX. I know how to create the .pdf but don't know how to put in a signature option.
We are using Adobe CS3. We also have Adobe Acrobat 9 and LiveCycle Designer ES2.
Thank you.

With Acrobat 8 (Pro or 3D) or Acrobat 9 (Standard, Pro, Pro Extended) you can "Reader enable" a PDF.
One thing this provides is that users of Adobe Reader (back to, I think, Reader 7.(something)) can use the Comments & Markup tools.
So, you send me this PDF of a drawing. It is "Reader enabled".
I use Adobe Reader (knowing "good tools" is "good business", I'm using Reader 9 - fully updated <g>).
I open the PDF. I add a "Sticky Note", maybe add some text, and use the Options drop-down to go to Set Status > Review > Accepted.
Maybe I get fancy and go into the Sticky Note Properties to change the "appearance" from the default "Comments" to one of the other icons available.
You get the annotated PDFs back. Perhaps an individual PDF has more than one annotation.
Open the Comments List. Looking over the Tool bar for this you will see that you can show/hide/sort and output PDF reports.
Of course, a small learning curve is involved.
Pay off is that the turnips go to market via a truck versus a horse drawn cart (fax). 8^)

Creating a .pdf in photoshop cs4 different than earlier versions

Hi. In PS CS4.
I am trying to make a .pdf to send to a printer. I do not know if the printer as CS4. Eventually I will ask, but..
I made a pdf in Photoshop, basically using the High Quality print settings.
Normally, when I open a pdf in Photoshop that was made in Photoshop I am able to see the layers, adjustment layers..etc..
I tried opening this .pdf in Photoshop 7.0 & it had asked me to rasterize it with that dialog screen, although I did have Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities checked. I am not sure why it did that.
What do you do for people that have earlier versions?
Thank you.

not much you can do about it, the Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities only works when opening it in Photoshop CS2 or newer

Save editable PDF so clients can't edit it

I created a PDF with forms for my colleagues to fill out. They have Adobe Reader 9. How can they save the PDF so it becomes UNeditable so they can send it to their clients?

If they have Reader, then they can not make them uneditable.

After creating a pdf in photoshop, can I edit it in other programs?
