CS3 cannot open original TIF file after "save as" Photoshop PDF

Mac OS X 10.4.11, Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1), 2.5 GB RAM, and the files are saved to the afp file server (Windows Server 2000 SP4 running Services For Macintosh). When saving a TIF file as a PDF the original TIF file cannot be opened again.
Once Photoshop starts doing this I have to restart the system before the corruption problem goes away. The problem with that is if I do not catch it, I might convert 20 or so files in a day before I catch the problem. Once the TIF files are corrupt, the only thing I can do is restore from backup (long process) or save as again from the PDF file to TIF to place in my InDesign file. When I open the original TIF file I get an error: "Could not complete your request because the file-format module cannot parse the file." OR "Could not complete your request because of a problem parsing a TIFF file."
Has anyone else had this problem?

Justin,
>and the files are saved to the afp file server
If you are saving directly to the server, that can be trouble, particularly if IT is clueless or not vigilant about network issues and maintenance. Adobe specifically warns against working across your network. Please see the FAQ and numerous topics on this "problem".
Basically, drag-copy the file to your local drive. Work locally. Save locally. Drag-copy the completed file back to the server.
Let us know if working as I've just described "solves" the problem.

Looking for a java-based SDK that handles file conversion to PDF and TIF...

Hi all,
First off, this is my first posting so I'm not 100% sure where to post this topic. So please forgive me if I'm accidentally posting in the wrong location.
My question deals with a project I am currently working on.
I am looking for a java-based SDK that can meet the following requirements...
1) convert all printable file-formats (i.e. JPEG, DOC, TXT, PPT, etc.) into PDF
2) merge multiple PDFs into one PDF
3) convert PDF to TIF or at least do some sort of conversion to TIF
4) works in Java or some sort of web-based language
5) free or relatively cheap
Any advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

I don't think you will get one API to do them all.
Some helpful hints:

PDF CMYK TIF Color Changes on "Reduce File Size"

I run a Mac G4 MDD w/1GB Memory and OSX 10.4.11. Use Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 for PDF viewing, manipulation, forms, making large size files smaller, etc. Recently, I noticed an odd color change on one of 72 ads I am doing for a small 24-page publication. The background image of the ad is a CMYK TIF file placed in a QXP 7.3.1 document. After working on a revision to a previous ad, using the same set-up in QXP, the ad I created, using Output to PDF, opened in AcroPro correctly rendering the ad and background as the other 31 ads I had been working from or on. All the ads are different and have different backgrounds as well. Each ad opened in AcroPro has been made smaller by selecting "Reduce File Size" with no changes to color, drop shadows or text. But, when I selected that (RFS) menu for the 32nd ad, that background color changed completely to a lighter and much more contrasty image. I checked the TIFF background file in PS CS2 to see if it was CMYK or any different than the others. It was like the others, properly rendered and saved, but was much deeper in color. I went back into QXP and noticed the TIFF file in question had a 30% opacity selected to the image. I thought if I saved the original TIFF in PS with a screen tint overtop and flattened to the same look as the intended ad that would solve my problem. I placed that new TIFF background into the ad in QXP and made sure the opacity was 100% and output PDF as I had previously. Unfortunately, the ad turned out exactly the same with the same color shift. There must be something else causing this color change to occur, so if someone else has experienced this and can suggest an answer or posting that may help please advise. Thanks

Cathy,
You have posted your question in a forum dedicated to the Final Cut Studio application Color. It is a very specialized program to grade (adjust) the color in video/film images. We know nothing regarding PDFs.
Have you tried posting this on an Adobe support site?
Good luck,

How do I convert scanned tif file to pdf file?

How do I convert a scanned tif file to a pdf file?

Hi lauras,
You can use either Adobe PDF Pack or Acrobat to convert that TIFF to PDF. While we don't offer free trials of the subscription products, such as PDF Pack, we do offer a free trial of Acrobat. Please feel free to give it a try--you can download a 30-day trial from the link I included above.
Best,

An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF. Trying to convert a .tif file

I'm new to this conversion system. I tried several times to convert a .tif file to a .pdf file. I got the same message every time: "An error has occurred which stopped the processing of the PDF". What am I doing wrong?

Hi stefan235235,
I'm sorry that you're having trouble combining PDF files using Adobe PDF Pack. Does the error occur with all files that you try to combine, or just a select few?
Make sure that the files you're trying to combine aren't secured, password protected, 3D, or part of a PDF portfolio, as these types of PDFs can't be combined.
If you're combining supported file types and still getting that error, please try the following:
Log out and clear the cache. Then log back in to https://cloud.acrobat.com/combinepdf using a supported web browser (see System requirements | Acrobat.com).
Try combining smaller groups of files, to see if you can narrow the error down to a specific file or files.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

PDF Export fails because of "bad" TIF files

I'm having this problem with InDesign CS3 on MacBook Pro, OS 10.5
PDF export fails occasionally, becasue of some "bad" TIF files. The weird part is that those files are completely good TIF files, which are perfectly readable by any other program! After I resave the supposedly bad file again, it helps, and the PDF export works fine. BUT - imagine me working with a project with 800 images?!! Thanks to some good scripting and forum people, I have found a way to locate the bad images quite fast by using a script that exports each page as a separate PDF, then at least I know at which page it fails. But it's a hassle to do that every time!
Last time I found about 60 "bad" files out of 862.
Why the heck InDesign treats some TIF files as bad? Even if it does, it could at least create a log file, that will tell me at which page the export failed! this could be a real help!
I've asked this question in Photoshop forums, but one of the employees replied that Photoshop doesn't produce bad files. Well, I'm not sure I can belevie that, but that's what they say.

What settings do you use when you save as TIFF ?
On PC platform sometimes InDesign treat TIFFs as "bad" when they are exported with "for Mac" settings.
Or maybe you should switch do PSD format ?

How to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file?

Hi!
We are trying to convert a multi page PDF document into a single TIF file. We are using Adobe Acrobat Standard v 9. Can it be possible?

I am also looking for feedback. Although having a PDF copy of a document is wonderful, long term and efficient archival for my workplace is tif or tiff.
Very frustrating that the PDF to tiff creates a separate tiff file for each page of the multi-page PDF document. Are there any options or work-arounds?

Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open

Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open.

Cannot convert .tif file to .pdf in IE when I have an Abode Reader window open.
I have a .pdf file open in Adobe Reader that is on my works P:/ drive. Then I open a .tif file from a website in Windows Phone and Fax Viewer and Right click it and select "Convert to Adobe PDF". I get the following message
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.tif" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has not been damaged (For example, it was sent as a an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
I have a work around for this. Simply closing the Adobe Reader that was previously opened and the attempting to "Convert to Adobe PDF" will then work properly. Was wondering if there was a fix to this issue beacuse it is frustrating to always have to close my other .pdf files to do this action.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Problems viewing large tif files in preview

i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
thanks for any suggestions.
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

Cannot find .TIF file saved with Acrobat 9 Pro

I have a Canon document scanner that I use with Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows 7. I can scan the document into Acrobat, and save it as a PDF just fine. However, if I try to save it as a .TIF or a .TIFF, it appears to save just fine, but I'm unable to locate it afterwards. Here's what I've done so far:
- Checked to make sure hidden files are visible in Windows Explorer
- Made sure the permissions for the folder allowed writing files (even saved the TIF files to the same folder as the PDF files)
- Searched for the filename with Windows Search. It finds the file, but when I try to click on it to open the file, Windows says that the file cannot be found.
We're needing this for importing documents into a LIMS program, and we can't get that working until this part gets resolved. Anything that you can think of to help would be great. Thank you!

Solved: It appears to be a Microsoft Word issue as it doesn't occur with other apps. When using the built-in 'convert to PDF' tool within Word the file name length is respected. It's an older version of Word (Word 2002 SP3). I printed a file using the same name length with Wordperfect and it works fine.
I know this isn't a Word help forum, but if anyone does have a solution to offer it would be appreciated :-)

Multi-page .tif file attaches as .jpg (1 page)

I've just changed from Entourage to Mail. I have multipage .tif files downloaded from Companies House. When I try to mail them as attachments Mail changes them to .jpg files which only have the first page of course. I can see that on the open email so it is not a Mac to Windows recipient problem.
When I resave as .pdf there is problem but that's unsatisfactory. Other files eg Word and Excel seem fine.
The solutions I've seen here seem to be the for the reverse problem.

Save aas tif file.

Adobe Reader not recognizing tif files

Why doesn't Adobe Reader recognize tif files? I created a pdf portfolio using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I scanned a black and white document with my Canon flatbed and saved it as a tif file. I am unable to import the tif file into the pdf portfolio and I keep getting a pop-up that adobe reader does not recognize that type of file. Anyone else have this problem and find the solution?

Reader should be fine. you don't need to full version to open password protected documents and a Mac doesn't make any difference either.
Fist thing to be sure of is that it's actually Reader opening the docs and not Mac Preview (or something else).
If it is, maybe try having them assign a different password. A more simplistic one just to see if you can open it.

PDF deletes source file

In some instances when creating a PDF from an original TIF file, the TIF file is deleted. I would like to retain the source file. Is this a setting? I am using Acrobat 9 Pro.

How are you creating the PDF? What OS? It is not typical for Acrobat to delete the source file in such cases.

I created a photo book in Photoshop elements 11 that contains png files with the invisible backgrounds. When I export the book to a jpg or a pdf, the png files appear with white backgrounds.

jpg and pdf formats don't support transparency. You need to use a format such as tif, png or psd that does.
