Opening a PDF in CS4 Photoshop

When  try to open a PDF in CS4 Photoshop, the program shuts down and closes. Any Ideas? I am using Microsoft 7 Windows.

Chris, I do not think I have installed the updates. This has been a problem since I started using this last year. I have just been working around it.
The crash report says:
         Photoshop CS4 has stopped working. Windows is collecting more information about the problem. It might take several minutes...
Then it says...
     Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working
     A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
     Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
The button says Close program.
The PDF's are from all kinds of places. some of them are PDF's that I have created myself.
Mylenium, What kind of security tool? My boss/tech guy installed the software. I have really had alot of problems. Initally he upgraded me to Vista, then to Microsoft 7.

    An attempt to open a pdf file with Photoshop Elements (version 12) resulted in a pop generated by the Photoshop Editor stated "Impossible to execute this operation (opening file) because one of the specified colour is not managed". Is there any mean to adapt the file to make its reading possible?
    Did somebody get the same problem?

    It is a high order probability that your SQL's report generator is creating the PDF, not Acrobat (which by design and EULA cannot be used in as/with server).
    That the report generator outputs to an old-old version of PDF bears this out.
    Wiki articles on PDF are very nice for those high level intro summaries.
    To know / understand PDF you purchase and study the ISO Standard for PDF (ISO 32000-1:2008).
    Rather than "PDF validation" you may want to consider addressing the appearent root cause of the problem(s).
    You can change the email2fax application to one that can deal with older PDF versions.
    You can change the report generator to one that can output to the ISO Standard.
    (Perhaps the in-use application can be configured to output to the current version of PDF (i.e., the ISO Standard).

  • Adobe Photoshop CS6 tries to open Bridge with deleted CS4?

    After upgrading to Windows 8 on two computers with same CS6 Premium installed programs...the desktop is showing "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64bit)\ Photoshop.exe" when I try to move image from Bridge CS6 to Photoshop CS6 (No problems on the laptop - works fine there). So I'm assuming it is not Win 8 that is the problem but rather the file extention...and alas, I a tad afraid to fiddle with it. If someone can tell me how to change where Bridge is trying to move image...to.

    Hi again, it appears now when I try to open a pdf document with Photoshop CS6 the dreaded “Photoshop CS4” shows up again. And of course there is no association for this program as it has been removed. Why Bridge CS6 would connect to that at all is beyond me. I changed all the extensions that had Photoshop (no CS info) to Photoshop CS6 in the Edit/Preferences but frankly I’ve no idea which extension refers to the conversion from PDF to PSD file. I was afraid to change it to ‘default’ (as it said changes would be permenant) as I’m not sure how Win8 has designated CS4 rather than CS6

  • Opening a pdf in photoshop, rasterization settings?

    Hello,
    When I open a pdf created outside photoshop, (this is a technical image created on engineering software) I get the "open" dialog box with various settings. Under "Image size / Resolution" the default setting always appears to be 300ppi. Is this an indication that the file was actually created with 300 ppi resolution, or is this just a default setting?
    I know I can adjust this and "add" resolution to the image, but what I'm trying to determine is the native resolution in the file to see if its suitable for use at a certain output. I've always just opened files in Photoshop and selected Image size to see if the files resolution was appropriate for use. Is this method incorrect?
    Should I be checking this somewhere else as a rule? Bridge? I've selected the file in Bridge, I can see a dimension but cannot find the resolution.
    Can anyone shed some light on this issue?, it makes me second guess how I've been evaluating files for resolution.

    Acrobat is only able to work with PDF files. You could convert a jpeg or tiff into a PDF using Acrobat, but I personally would either do a little math to determine if it is print-quality or drop it into InDesign at the size it will need to print and see if it works.
    If you have InDesign installed you can use that program to do your layout using the raster images and check their effective ppi using the links panel:
    Using InDesign might make most sense for you as you can do the layout for raster images here, and for PDF documents that clients have prepared you could use Acrobat.
    The advantages of using both like this are that they have very powerful industry-standard prepress features. These prepress features can do most of your work for you by checking for low resolution images, colors out of gamut, missing links, type embedding problems etc.
    More on prepress in InDesign here, this is for CS3, but the process is essentially the same in CS6: (I would skip through to 2:00)
    And prepress in Acrobat XI:

  • When I save eps file as a PDF it loses whole colours, but I can see the colours in preview and if I open the PDF in Photoshop. What is going on?

    Has anyone else encountered this? I want to save a 2 colour logo (CMYK) as a print ready PDF but when it opens in Adobe Acrobat the black is missing or the green is missing. I can see all the colours there in preview and if I open the PDF file in Photoshop, all the colours as as they should be!!!

    No.. sorry.. it does not seem possible effect .. if you can write you must be able to read..
    Are you using the TC with user profiles?
    What security are you using for disk access?
    What happens if you do turn on full guest access to read and write.. ?
    When the Mac that can save but cannot read does drop the file onto the TC,, can the other Mac's see that file? In other words is the file really there.. has it copied correctly. I still think if it has copied and you cannot read it back there is some permissions issues.
    Try creating a new user on the Mac that has issues.. and see if the new user and read and write correctly. Make sure the new user has at least equal rights as the users on the Mac's that can read and write without issues.
    Your intial question suggested this problem was spread over more than computer.. your second reply has reduced the issue to just one computer.. logically the issue is not the TC.. it is that computer. Ironically I have found logic for computer troubleshooting falls well behind voodoo. 

  • Can't adjust curves in file opened from pdf

    I need to include several pages of pdfs in a book. The pdfs are scanned text documents, image only, with no security applied. When I open the pdf on my mac pro with photoshop cs6, I can make adjustments in the curves dialog, but when I close the dialog the adjustments disappear. The history pallette shows the action, but nothing happened. Also can make visible changes in a curves adjustment layer, but when I flatten the image the changes disappear. I've tried opening the pdf as grayscale, rgb, and cmyk; same result. I've also saved it in several different formats, then reopened it; same result. The file initially opens as a background layer with a locked symbol in the layers pallette. If I duplicate the layer and delete the background, the locked symbol disappears, but photoshop still won't accept changes made in the curves dialog. I tried it with cs4, and had a friend try the same things with on a pc; same result. Levels adjustment won't work, either. Can anyone tell me what's going on here?

    My earlier reply was from my work login, capbooks, so the username is different. Sorry for the confusion.
    After realizing why curves wouldn't work on this document, I figured out what led me astray in the first place: when I went to open the pdf page in photoshop, photoshop's import pdf dialog didn't give me the option of opening as a bitmap. The only mode choices are grayscale, rgb, cmyk, and lab.
    Thanks again.

  • Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

    Can one set "Navigation Pane Buttons" Left Sidebar to 'Default Hidden' and 'Not Open' upon opening Any .pdf document?

    Photoshop has to have full administrator rights to have read/write access.
    This means you need to run Photoshop CS5.1 in an Administrator account and set it up to "Run as Administrator."
    1. Close Photoshop if it's open.
    2. Right click on your Photoshop CS5.1 launch icon then select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu. (You will have to enter Admin Password if UAC is enabled to change this setting.)
    3. Launch Photoshop CS5.
    4. See if you create and save a document.
    Even if you are in an Administrator account you have to do this as Vista's Admin account isn't really the Super Admin as it is in XP so you have to elevate the rights by selecting "Run as Administrator". This setting is sticky so you should only have to do this once. I am not sure why CS3 is suddenly acting as if it does't have Admin rights unless you are running it in a new account that isn't an administrator or maybe uninstalled (cleanScript?) then reinstalled.
    If can't create or save a document, check that the account that Photoshop is in is an Administrator account.
    To check if you are in an Administrator account...
    1. Type user account in your Vista or Windows7 start search bar. (Start search bar is at the bottom of the panel that opens when you click the start Windows start globe located on the far left hand side of your Windows task bar.)
    2.  Click on "User Accounts" which should show up at the top of the list. This will open the dialog to User Accounts where you can "Change Your Account Type". If UAC (User Account Control) is turned on, you will need to enter the Admin password to change this setting.

  • Acrobat 9 pro and problems with pdf made by photoshop cs4

    Hello,
    I have encountered a problem when viewing pdfs exported from photoshop cs4 using acrobat pro 9. If I open single pdf, it's ok, but whenever I open another pdf, all text is jagged. Then if I close all pdfs and try opening the second one, it's ok again. It looks like acrobat is not able to render texts correctly in newly opened pdf when another pdf is already opened.
    This happens only with pdfs exported from photoshop (file->save as->pdf). It does not really matter if the first opened pdf is from photoshop or not, all other opened pdfs from photoshop are crapy.
    I tried different settings when saving pdf but the results are always the same - jagged type (it does not even look like aliased, it's completely screwed and unreadable) in second pdf. It is funny because text present as smart object from illustrator renders fine all the time. Therefor I think the problem is between photoshop export and acrobat, vectors are rendered with no problems.
    I tried opening on different pc (also with acrobat 9 pro) with the same result. Systems are vista on exporting pc, the second pc is running windows7 beta. However on the third pc with windows XP and adobe reader 9 everything works fine.
    Any ideas how to make this work?
    regards,
    embee

    Solution found for me. From Adobe Acrobat & Reader 9.1 Release Notes:
    Roaming Profiles on Windows and Networked Home Directory on Macintosh
    are not supported configurations for 9.0 or 9.1, however we have made
    several fixes in 9.1. We are looking at the possibility of supporting
    this for the next major release.
    As I am working with roaming profiles, my current solution (which is no solution at all) is to wipe current and reinstall Acrobat/Reader 8. Among other things there are supposed console hacks to make the purchased Adobe software run at all in a group work environment. I will end up trying them later.

  • 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.

    I don’t even know how to make such a problematic pdf, so I can’t do any meaningful tests regarding this; could You post the file in question?
    If You have Acrobat Professional installed You could create a Fixup to remove the PDF/X-entry and see if the file converts OK then.
    Or You might be able to convert it to a PDF/X-standard correctly in Acrobat.

    Photoshop CS3 has been crashing when trying to open some of the PDF files. This doesn't happen with all the PDFs, only some of the PDFs are crashing CS3. We are not able to open these PDFs(which are crashing CS3) in CS2 also. But surprisingly these PDFs can be opened in Photoshop 7. Any ideas?

  • Illustrator CS4 stürzt beim öffnen einer PDF ab / Illustrator CS4 crashes while opening a PDF

    Hallo liebe Community,
    leider kann mir der telefonsiche support nicht weiterhelfen (Produkt ist zu alt), deshalb seid ihr nun meine letzte Chance!
    Nun zu meinem Problem:
    ich benutze seit einigen Jahren erfoglreich den Adobe Illustrator aus CS4 um PDF-Datein zu editieren.
    Vor kurzem musste ich zusätzliche eine Software namens "FontExplorerX" installieren und seit dem habe ich das Phänomen, dass ich keine PDF-Dateien mehr mit Illustrator öffnen kann.
    Der Illustrator startet ganz normal und ich kann mit anderen Dateiformaten ganz normal arbeiten, aber sobald ich eine PDF-Datei öffnen will friert das Programm ein und ich kann nichts mehr machen. Das erstellen von PDF-Dateien funktioniert hingegen normal.
    Natürlich habe ich diesen "FontExplorer" dann wieder deinstalliert, leider blieb das Problem.
    Auch eine Reinstallation des Illustrators, inklusive löschen der Voreinstellungen, brachte keine Abhilfe.
    In der knowledge-base stand, dass man die Voreinstellungen löschen kann , was ich auch probiert habe, leider ohne Erfolg.
    Nun weiß ich nicht mehr was ich noch probieren kann. Vielleicht hat jemand noch eine Idee was man ausprobieren könnte!?
    Hier noch ein paar Infos zum System:
    - Win7 x64
    - Adobe CS4 Design Standard
    - Illustrator CS4 Version 14.0.0
    Vielen Dank im voraus für Anregungen und Tipps!

    in english:
    Dear community ,
    unfortunately the phone support can not help me (product is too old ), so now you are my last chance !
    Now to my problem :
    I have been using for several years Adobe Illustrator CS4 to edit PDF files .
    Recently I had to install "FontExplorerX " and since this moment I have the phenomenon that I cannot open PDF files with Illustrator.
    The illustrator starts normally and I can work normally with other file formats, but when I try to open a PDF file the program freezes and I can not do anything. The creation PDF files works normally.
    Of course, I uninstalled the "FontExplorer", but the problem remained .
    Also, a reinstallation of Illustrator, including deleting the preferences did not help.
    The knowledge-base says that you can delete the default settings of Illustrator, which I also tried, unfortunately without success.
    Now I do not know what else I can try. Maybe someone has an idea what else you could try?
    Here is some information about the system :
    - Win7 x64
    - Adobe CS4 Design Standard
    - Illustrator CS4 version 14.0.0
    Thanks in advance for suggestions and tips!
