Corrupt PDF from Photoshop CC

This week I found that I cannot save a file to a PDF from Photoshop CC. Both Mac and Windows.
The file shows that it is saving and gets to 10%, then acts like it has saved.
Trying to open the PDF brings up an "Out of Memory" error.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Hi,
I think you can try a utility called Advanced PDF Repair to repair your PDF files. It works rather well for my corrupt PDF files. Its web address is http://www.datanumen.com/apdfr/
Hope this will help.

PDF from Photoshop is tiny

This is a new bahavior that corresponds somehow to my upgrade to Acrobat X, Photoshop CS5.5 and Windows 7.
When I print PDFs from Photoshop, the end result is an image 6% its assigned size. For instance, a 1500 pixel square at 300 dpi will be printed as a 90-pixel square when using Press as my preset. This happens in all Acrobat settings such as Standard, Press and HQP. The behavior does not happen when making PDFs from otehr applications.
I know there are several workarounds for making a PDF from Acrobat (and perhaps good reasons to make PDFs from other applications), but it is sometimes best that I share an image as a PDF, and I expect this process to work as it has thhrough all the previous versions of Acrobat and Photoshop.
Thanks for any help.

Well, like I said, I don't either. Even when loading a very simple PDF, I just see this crash:

Maybe someone on the AIR team will have a more knowledgable response, it looks like a problem with how Webkit is loading up the PDF viewer perhaps.

How to Make Editable Pdf from Photoshop

Hello
I have more psd page design. I want to make a editable pdf from Photoshop.
Regards
Gurpreet Chauhan

Please define "editable"? Do you mean "fillable", so that a person can easily type in the blanks? That doesn't seem the right job for Photoshop.

How do I fix a corrupt .jpg from Photoshop?

I try to upload .jpg images, which I saved from Photoshop, onto walgreens.com and shutterfly.com, and each site tells me that my file is corrupted. Can someone please help me find a solution to "uncorrupting" my .jpgs?

If you file opens fine in Photohsop would say that error is a false positive,
Open you image in photoshop, check they are rgb 8bit not cmyk.
You can check this up in the filename. This one is cmyk/8 bit
Use image >> mode to correct you file.
If that does not solve your issue try doing a save as to a new filename, and try uploading that.
If you still need help, please send a screenshot of your file details.
Mac - command I on a file
Win - right click properties

Printing PDFs from Photoshop CS5 creates unworkable miniature files

I work on Photoshop CS5 files and print them to pdf all day long with no trouble, most of the time. Occasionally however I complete a file in Photoshop and print to pdf and the file outputs as some kind of completely unworkable miniature. Very small file that fits in a tiny corner of the canvas size it should occupy. Once this occurs I must reboot my computer 3-4 times before the print to pdf features returns to normal function. Today this happened on two separate computers almost simultaneously after I switched over from one to the other to get this job out and it occurred to me it might have been the actual file I was working with. Corrupt or something. The I tested some files that had worked in the past and they too went "miniature". When this happens I save as pdf just to get the job out. While this works, the saved pdf is always a much larger file than the printed pdf version, with completely similar resolution quality. I love my print pdf feature, but it seems to have developed a little occasional psychosis in version CS5 and I was wondering if anyone has a fix up their sleeve, or can tell me what setting I am accidentally activating to make the output so tiny. It's pretty frustrating.

Anyone else having trouble opening CMYK PDFs from Photoshop CC with JPEG 'high' compression?

(Cross-post from the Photoshop forum, where I was asked to post in the Acrobat forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5553829 )
When I save a PDF file in Photoshop CC in CMYK color with JPEG compression (quality = high), it will save without any errors. However, when I open the file in Acrobat (11.0.3), I get an "Out of Memory" pop up error. I press Ok, and the document is just displayed as a blank white image.
I'm using Win7 64-bit, Photoshop CC 64-bit. Plenty of memory (24GB) and allocated RAM in preferences, and I've done some troubleshooting that leads me to believe the error is not due to system memory, but rather a specific bug in the software. I have Photoshop CS6 on the same machine, and if I open the PSD, save as PDF with the above settings, everything is fine when I open it using Acrobat. This seems to just be for Photoshop CC, not CS6.
Here is the troubleshooting I've done so far:
PDF format, RGB color, any other settings --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, no compression --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [medium] --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [high] --> Acrobat can NOT open the file because it encounters the "out of memory" error.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [maximum] --> Acrobat can open the file.
This is silly. I don't get it. Can anyone else confirm this problem for me?
Updated:
Like you said, there isn't enough information to rule out an issue with Photoshop CC, as the same action using Photoshop CS6 results in a usable file.
New information (while making files for uploading):
The error only occurs with CMYK files of larger dimensions. On a 500x500px image, Acrobat throws out "A drawing error has occured". a 2500x2500px image runs into the "Out of memory" error. In either case, Acrobat cannot successfully open the file generated by Photoshop CC, while it can if it was made using Photoshop CS6.

Another observation for what it is worth (not a solution again). I was able to open all 3 PDFs in Irfanview as graphics. The properties of the image were
The major changes for the others within the JPegs was the number of pixels (133X133) and the size (1.4inX1.4in). There is also a reduction in the number of colors.
Just for information, I opened the big JPeg in Acrobat (9.5.5) and it opened fine. However, it looks like the color space was changed as shown below:
Even if I change the input to use CMYK and not RGB, it looks like it gets converted to RGB. I haven't spent time to figure out the preflight analysis properly, but at least this may give you some info back.

Text is getting cut off when saving a PDF from Photoshop CS 6

I've begun to run into an issue quite frequently that I just cannot find a work around for. The first image shows what it looks like in Photoshop:
Then this is what it looks like in Adobe Acrobat after it's saved from PS:
You can see a whole swath of text is just missing. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to save correctly. This is a high resolution image, exported at press quality.
Please help.

I've played around with the PDF settings, and nothing seems to work. Here's what I'm using now:
As for the font properties, this is what Acrobat shows after I open the file in there:

Why problems outputing a PDF from Photoshop?

I have Adobe Acrogat 9 Pro and Adobe Distiller 9 installed, so I've had great luck printing anything I wanted from its native format (like MS Word, Firefox, etc.) to PDF format. Recently I wanted to send someone a preview of a Photoshop document I've been working on really hard. When I chose the "Adobe PDF" option in the print dialog, things got real strange. Photoshop started telling me it could only do it if I ran the process in the "installer mode." Well, a box came on screeen saying that was going to take 45 minutes, so I cancelled it. Saved the PSD as a high-resolution JPEG instead and emailed it to the person I want to critique it. What's the reason for this? Is my PSD too complicated? Is it because I'm still on Photoshop 7?

Actually PS is just trying to save your behind and is being overly smart about it. If I remeber correctly, al lversions before CS4 would try and prevent you from "printing" to PDF and rather ask you to save a PDF directly. Something to do with retaining vector data and text plus other stuff that may provide a better quality at smaller resulting PDF sizes.

Random text appearing as bold when creating PDF from Photoshop CS5

Hi I am a relative newcomer to Photoshop CS5. I have been creating a document with a background image layer and a couple of text box layers. The font is set at Arial, italic, sharp. When I save the document as a PDF file, random words appear in bold. I have tried deleting these words in the PSD document text layer and retyping them but they still appear as bold in the PDF file. Interestingly when I save as a JPEG image the bold words appear as normal. Any ideas/ tips would be greatly appreciated. CS5 version is 12.0.4 and OS is Windows XP.

Saving as PDF from Photoshop Elemenst text is missing

I am saving a PSd as a PDF and the text is missing in the reader, but not in the original PSD, can anyone help?

Are you using adobe reader to view the pdf or the windows 8 built in pdf reader?
Is the text still there if you open the saved pdf back into the pse 10 editor using File>Open?

Copying Bitmaps from Photoshop to Flash

There are a few things I really miss or find quite annoying when copying Bitmaps from Photoshop to Flash.
Life could be so much easier, but well, as so often, it isn't, because:
Why is the alpha channel discarded? I mean you can copy whole Ilustrator-Selections to Flash, but you can't copy an alpha channel in a bitmap from Photoshop
What about this (stupid) dpi-inclusion? Flash is a pixel-based application. It does not really help if you find a bitmap in the flash IDE library which natively has odd dimensions like 273.45 x 81.28 and you aren't able to change that in the properties. you could as well just delete this bitmap again, because bitmaps with odd dimensions and DPI don't really help in Flash (well this may be another case with bitmaps which are a part of a whole collection like when importing AI-content. But for a single bitmap?)
Is there at least an option to turn-of the DPI-conversion for single Bitmaps?
I think otherwise the DPI settings for the flash document and the settings in the PSD document should match. But that would be really tedious.
I always use a freeware program like irfanview to lose the extra DPI information which is just a big annoyance in many situations.
Well, that's about it

No, sort of. If you can live with the text EXACTLY as it is in
Photoshop, kill all the layer except the text and save as PDF from
Photoshop. Place the PDF in InDesign and it will retain its vector
properties and formatting. You will not be able to edit anything.

Print materials from Photoshop instead of Illustrator

Hi all,
I occasionally have to print signage, and usually "design in Photoshop> import graphics into Illustrator> replace text in Illustrator> save as PDF".
I just designed a 300dpi effects heavy image, and am wondering about the ability to save from Photoshop without having to mess with Illustrator. I've seen mention of "exporting in vector format" and it is 300dpi.
= Is my work-flow the most efficient way to do it?
= Can I essentially save/export a PDF from Photoshop that will keep the text vector and print as it would if exported from Illustrator?
Your advice and input is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lands

For the first question I think it is not efficient. For efficiency I would either 1) Use only Illustrator or 2) Use only Photoshop or 3) Do your design in Illustrator and import into Photoshop. The last option probably depends on the subject matter of the document, but still the output options from Photoshop are preferred by some over Illustrator.
Question 2: You can get high quality PDF output from Photoshop. Below is a small portion of a pdf file created by Photoshop and shown in Acrobat. It is being shown at 2400% magnification and shows 30 pt vector text and portions of two circles. The circle on the right is a simple pixel rendering and the circle on the left is a vector shape - the difference is evident.
If you work in Photoshop alone I would suggest starting with two pieces of information to create your initial working document - the number of pixels per inch (not printer dots/inch) you think you need and the size of the desired printed document - multiply them. If you wanted 500 pixels/inch and a 6" x 4" print then set your photoshop document to 3000 x 2000 pixels (minimum). Also, use vector elements in your document wherever possible.

Document size changes when creating pdf from jpeg

When I create a pdf from a jpeg file, the document size increases considerably. The native jpeg was saved in the "save to web" feature in Photoshop. I cannot find settings in ImageReady or Acrobat to make my document the correct size. Any suggestions?

Why not save the PDF from Photoshop directly? This gives full control
over compression settings. It will not, however, downsample so you
should do that first.

Can't import PSD from Photoshop

This is weird. Trying to import a PSD file. Error message from PPro cs6 is "We were unable to open the file on disk."
The file is a still image that came to me as a JPG. I read it into Photoshop cs6, cropped it, made the canvas 1920 x 1080 (to match the size of the PPro sequence), did some retouching, and ended by running the Broadcast Safe Luminance action on it. Then I saved it into the PPro project folder as a *.PSD file. Like I've done hundreds of times now with dozens of PPro projects.
Went to PPro cs6. Found the file using Media Browswer. File...Import From Media Browswer gives me a pop-up Preview In Source Monitor Failure window with the "We are unable to open the file on disk." error message.
What makes this all the more frustrating is that PPro can find and open the file that I worked on just prior to this one. Same conditions, same workflow, same directory, same protections on the files (I did check that). The two files look to be exactly the same except for the file name, and the file contents. Everything else is as identical as I can make it. And none of my disk drives are even half full, so it shouldn't be a space issue.
So if PPro can read one, why can't it read the other? And what can I do to get PPro to behave properly and read the file? The files don't seem to be corrupted -- Photoshop can read both of them just fine. In any case, I've recreated the problem file from the *.jpg source several times now so I think I can rule file corruption coming from Photoshop out. Maybe.
I've wracked my brain for 90 minutes trying to figure out what changed between the first file that works, and the second one that doesn't. I've come up empty. I worked on one, then the other, then imported the first on into PPro (which worked), then imported the second one into PPro (which failed). Exact same source (both files were *.jpg attachements on the same email), same workflow, saved into the same directory. ARGHHHH!!!
I've done most of the "usual suspects". I've exited out of both Photoshop and PPro and restarted. I've saved the problem file in other fomats (same error no matter what format). So I turned to Teh Google, which didn't turn up much that pertained. Couldn't find anything in the Adobe help docs. So, anyone here tell me what's going on?

Few things to check - is the Color Mode of the PSD RGB. It cannot be CMYK, or a few others.
I have had issues with Smart Objects, in that sometimes, they Import fine, but not always.
Tiny Layers (just a couple of pixels x pixels) have cause problems.
Adjustment Layers have been known to cause problems.
Normal Layers, so long as not tiny, always work perfectly for me.
Nothing else that comes to my mind, but good luck,
Hunt
