Exporting PDF's from Photoshop - Low quality / messed up image in Acrobat

Hi guys, I am having this problem for quite some time now and i can't figure it out.
So i have created a portfolio design in Photoshop, and now i want to export that out of Photoshop into images / pdf  combining all the files into one PDF
The problem i have is that the output from Photoshop when it gets into Acrobat, has all kinds of artifacts and different (low) image quality.
I have used all the presets from the "save as pdf" menu in Photoshop as well as exporting as png's or jpegs and creating pdf from Acrobat.
Is this a rendering bug from Acrobat ? When i zoom enough, the problem disappears.
Should i use a specific option / preset when i export from Photoshop ?
Thanks.

Try turning off Compression and Color Conversion when saving the PDF out of Photoshop.

  • Problems with "save for web" app low quality messed up images

    Please help I have never had a problem with the "save for web" application before (over three years) I am currently running A.I. cs3 on windows vista. in the past whenever I save anything this way the images were always clean. as of yesterday everything I try to save through the save for web app the images are very low quality all the vector has jagged edges, it is very low rez looking and the file sizes are very small, half the size they normaly would be. What did I do to change the settings or better yet how can I get it back to the way it was.

    Thank you for your help I moved the folder but it still did not fix this problem. it is also not just the jpg option under the save for web app but all the setting ie. gif, png, ect. ect. Also the the files sizes are much less, example I exported a design as a jpg with the quality setting about 6 the file size was 374kb when I exported the same design through the save for web app the file size was only 45 kb on the quilty setting of 100. further more in the preview screen of "save for web" the original images as well as the optimized both look messed up. The "save for web" app has always worked for me in the past never a problem and I use this app alot so it is very important.

  • Exporting PDF files from SSRS 2012 - "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"

    Good day
    I have the situation where we are exporting PDF files from reporting services in our website. 
    When dividing the data into sections, the report exports perfectly, but when exporting the entire set and trying to open the file, we get the following error in Adobe Reader:
    "There was an error opening this document.  The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
    We tried to repair the file, no luck.  We tried to use different PDF readers, no luck
    We then checked the file sizes.  When exporting the subsections, each section exports a file of about 2mb. 
    When exporting the entire set, the file is about 1.3mb. 
    Adding all the sections together gives me a rough estimate of 40mb.
    Exporting to TIFF works beautifully and returns a file of 41.5mb. Word and Excel formats also work well, only issue there is the page numbering and formatting.
     The problem we have is the clients are adamant about having it in PDF format.
    Any advice please?

    This was one of the temporary suggestions I gave the client...
    Unfortunately they do not like this as the page numbering and formatting in Word does not appear right.  We are talking about over 1300 pages.  I can't expect them to change the formatting with each export.  Additionally,  the data is
    constantly changing and each client has their own data.  The clients export the reports randomly.  I therefore can't post the reports back onto the server.
    Thanks for the speedy response though

  • What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?

    What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
    Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
    Thank you! Vielen Dank!

    What are you talking about exactly?
    If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
    alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
    does not seem to make sense in this context though.

  • How do I import and export PDF's from Ibooks

    How do I import and export PDF files from Ibooks on the IMAC running Mavericks?
    How do I sync my PDF files in IBooks to the IPAD when they were not purchased from the bookstore?
    I noticed that I could email the PDF and then add it to IBOOKS on the IPAD.
    Is there a 3rd party IBOOK type reader that will address this issue?
    When I upgraded Mavericks it moved all of my PDF files in ITUNES application to IBOOKS and removed all reference to those
    books in ITUNES. When I purchase a book from IBOOKS store on the IMAC, the books shows up in IBOOKS on the IPAD.
    All of my PDF files will not sync up with the IPAD.
    I do hope this is a problem that Apple will address and would like to know when the fix will be available.

    Hello,
    Thank you. I found that option you pointed out. I can now change it from 1080i to 1080p and I can chance the resolution. However I still can't change the frame rate. It still stays at 29.97.
    Could this be due to the camera? I am using a Canon VIXIA HF S100 with 30p and 24p frame rate options. I suspect that it does not really shoot at true 24p and only does 24p within 60i.
    Frankly, I don't really care about getting 24p support too much but it would be very nice to have the option.
    I'll keep toying with the program. Still, anymore ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you Wild Giles.

  • How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI?

    How can I change the default pdf reader from the installed (but not yet registered) Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to Adobe Reader XI? I'm having some hiccups getting Adobe to register the software, but since I set it as the default .pdf reader during setup, things try (and fail) to open in the as yet unregistered software. How can I change it temporariiy to the Acrobat Reader XI that I have installed?

    Anubha,
    It worked! Thank you so much.
    I'd opened file with the 'Open with' feature then clicking Adobe Reader,
    but that didn't do it. When I used 'Open with', then 'Choose default
    program...', it worked like a charm.
    Again, thank you!

  • Enable tool tip in Exported PDF document from a CRE Report

    Hi All,
    We are on BObj 4.0 and using CRE for our reports. We have enabled Tool tip text on mouse over for certain labels which works great in browser. When we export to PDF, we dont see the Tool tip text. Is there a way we can configure this in CRE so that the exported PDF also shows the Tool tip text?
    Regards,
    Sundar

    I checked online and found this Note - 1567798 - Crystal Reports does not export Tool Tips when exported to Pdf Format. Does this apply to CRE also or just CR 2008?
    Regards,

  • Exporting PDF's from Microsoft Word

    I'm having trouble creating PDF's from Word (PC). If I click file and selct PDF as my printer, the image comes out with several things missing. If I click the Adobe Icon and try to print it locks up and says there is a problem with Adobe. Not sure if it just needs updated or what's wrong with it.

    Be sure AA8 is updated to the latest version. The fact that you have it working on Win7-64 bit is only the second time I have heard of any success with AA8 and this system. That may be the issue that the compatibility is just not there. You might try printing to file with another PS print driver (this step would be a better check) and open the file in Distiller to check for proper operation. If that works, then try the Adobe PDF printer with a print to file also. Do you get different results in any of these tests?
    Adobe will only give you one answer for your problem and that is AA8 is not certified for Win7-64 bit and you should upgrade to AAXI. This latter may be a good idea anyway, depending on your funds.

  • Creating a PDF Brochure from Photoshop

    I've created individual pages for a brochure in Photoshop.  I save each page as a TIFF, open it up on Photoshop and then save to PDF from that.
    I then use PDF Optimizer to bring the file size down a bit, but it's not really enough.  My images are 300 RES and if I start to lower the Resolution of them there are noticable losses in quality.
    Another thing i've noticed which is bugging me, my fonts don't appear in the Optimizer?  Even when i've left my Font layers separate and just saved straight to a PDF from PSD.  My font loses quality when I lower the resolution in PDF Optimizer so I assume that my fonts are being classed as images?
    Would a better option be to produce my images and artwork in Photoshop, save as a TIFF and then take the file into InDesign to add all of the fonts?
    The PDF has 6 pages basically and I just want it to be under, say 3 MB.

    That sounds like a fabulous idea. Don't tell Adobe about that. They might develop an entire industry around that very sensible workflow.

  • Multipage PDF: Impossible in Photoshop, Horrible Quality in Bridge!

    System: Core i7, 12 GB RAM, Velociraptor Boot, 1TB RAID, Win 7 64 bit, Photoshop CS4
    I have 8 single page PDFs, 8.5x11", 300 dpi, in both Grayscale and CMYK versions. In the "old days" there was a PDF Presentation capability in Photoshop that worked perfectly to stitch them all together into a single file that can be read sequentially, just like if it was generated in MS Word, etc.. Now I have to go into Bridge and use their Output. The final product is all together, but the quality is ABYSMAL! I can't send this to print as it will look like it was faxed in. I would appreciate the advice of the experts on this forum. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply. Here are my answers:
    1) Single page file .pdfs are absolutely perfect.
    2) Followed instructions on http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Bridge/3.0/WS0DC1130B-6864-46da-B794-71FC8CBB2258.html
    3) All settings set to default. I can elaborate with a screenshot of my Bridge screen if you like.
    4) Bridge output on left. Photoshop single file output on right. You may want to see it here http://i52.tinypic.com/egu9no.jpg in higher res.
    5) All sources from Word .docx to .pdf. Art inserted in Photoshop, and saved in .pdf as Press Quality default.
    I hope that helps!

  • Is an ID5 exported PDF different from a Distiller PDF?

    Am doing a book cover for a client publishing thru an on-demand press. Press specified the following:
    "Acrobat Distiller is the ONLY acceptable PDF software (Adobe Library and other PDF programs are not acceptable). . . [MS Word info removed] . . . For files created in other programs (such as InDesign, PhotoShop, Publisher, Quark, etc.), the PDF/x-1a:2001 setting should be used."
    I don't own Distiller/Acrobat, and haven't for years. Since ID5 offers PDF/X-1a:2001 as an export setting, I used it. Blown up on screen, PDF looked perfect.
    Company responded with this:   "The PDF was in Adobe Library.  I was able to rePDF to Adobe Distiller"   
    4 questions:
    is there a difference in output?
    Are they trying to pad my client's bill?
    Will the 30 day Acrobat trial produce a usable PDF/x-1a:2001?
    Is it even a good idea to resave a ID PDF/x-1a:2001 a second time as a Distiller PDF/x-1a:2001?
    Thanks, SusanD

    Luddites.
    I'd use the PDF X/1-a and send it and I'd let the client know that their choice of printers is about 10 years or so behind the times.

  • Exporting pdf's from InDesign

    I'm looking for a simple and effective way to export my InDesign document as single page pdf files, with a specific filename suffix. I'm hoping that the file name suffix can come from the numbering and section options from my InDesign document.
    To be specific, I have a 12 page document, each section being 2 pages or more. What I need is single page pdf files with the follwoing naming convention filename_sec[n].pdf. If I extract as separate pages through Acrobat, it will only make filename [n].pdf, not what we need.
    I'm using InDesign CS3 and Acrobat 8, all part of Design Standard CS3. Any help is appreciated. Any direct specific questions or advice, please email [email protected]

    "looking for a simple and effective way to export my InDesign document as single page pdf files"
    You may have to define a custom page layout size in InDesign that can hold all of the content.
    "hoping that the file name suffix can come from the numbering and section options from my InDesign document"
    Not certain this can be achieved automatically or by a Preferences setting.
