Pdfs and screenshots opened in Photoshop are appearing pixelated, or not displaying at all.

Hi. I'm on a new iMac system. (iMac 27" retina - Yosemite OS X 10.10).
Whenever I take a screenshot and open it up in Photoshop by using File/Open and locating the screenshot, it is appearing pixelated.
The same thing is occurring when I try to open a pdf, or the pdf doesn't appear at all.
Here is a saved photoshop file (jpg) of how a screenshot is appearing in Photoshop. I just took a screenshot of this page for the purposes of this exercise. Other screenshots appear even more pixelated.
The only reason I am opening screenshots in Photoshop is to crop them before posting anywhere or sending to anyone.
I'm selecting 'use the embedded profile (instead of the working space).
I'd attach the image of how a pdf is appearing in Photoshop but it is not displaying anything at the moment. A file does open to the right shape/size of the pdf but it appears blank.
I'm using File/Open locating the pdf file, I click OPEN, the specs I put in are: 300dpi, Select: Page1, Anti-aliased is ticked, Crop to Bounding Box, width: 19.8cm, height 8.8cm, contain proportions is ticked, 300dpi per inch, fit page, Bid depth: 8 bit, CMYK, Thumbnail size: Fit Page.
Which is everything I used to do on my old Mac, and which worked perfectly, but not working now. Wondering if it's a bug or if I'm missing something in Photoshop, due to it being an upgraded Photoshop version (CC2014).
This is how the pdf file of an advertisement I need to insert into a brochure appears in photoshop. If I open it again, it will again render differently.
Btw, the screenshot or the pdf file previews fine when about to open it (in the Finder/folder).

Correction for above: 'Bit depth' not ' Bid depth'

Am I correct that Photos does not support external editors? i.e., in Aperture, I click Photos Edit with.... and can open in Photoshop or various plug-ins. Changes are then automatically saved back to Aperture. Nonexistent in Photos?

Thanks Larry. That certainly gives me some understanding. Can't imagine I'm the only Aperture user with that concern, so I certainly hope Adobe and others will fill the void. Without that feature, Photos is pretty much a non-started for me.

I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner. It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked. I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download

I can't download Ikea 3D kitchen planner. It's really frustrating - a message is appearing on my mac book pro that I ned to get info and check that various files are unlocked. I've checked that all other requirements are fulfilled, still won't download. Any help very gratefully received. Thank you.

Hi, I'm not really very good with computers and am having the same problems when trying to install the Ikea 3D kitchen planner, please could you take me through the steps?
1. Download (save) the disk image file 2020PluginInstaller.dmg
I double click on the link which says "Install 3D Planner"
I agree to the t&cs
A file downloads to my download folder called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg
2. Mount the disk image (open/run the downloaded file) if not mounted automatically
I double click on the downloaded file
3. Find the 2020PluginInstaller window (might be behind the window on top)
A small window opens up with a lego brick called 2020PluginInstaller_IKEA.dmg and a folder called Internet plug ins. I highlight the lego brick and do File, Get info and unlock it
4. Drag the lego piece to the folder (if you do not have admin privileges you will be prompted to authenticate)
I do this and put in a password to authenticate
5. Restart the browser (it is not enough to close the browser window, you need to restart the browser
application)
I've tried restarting Safari, I've tried re-starting the computer
6. Access the same link and you will now see the Start button and be able to start planning your room!"
When I go back to the IKEA kitchen planner I don't see a start button, I just see the exact same screen as before prompting me to install the 3D planner
Please can you help?

How do I embed a pdf document into an existing pdf so that the user double clicks on the pdf object within the pdf and it opens? i've looked everywhere on various forums and tried attachments - but still not working. Thanks

I've tried various methods but to no avail. I have a pdf document and within the pdf I'd like to embed a couple pdf documents so that all the user has to do is double click on the pdf object inside the pdf and it opens in a new window. I've tried using attachments to do it and linking it...but to no avail. Anyone know how to do? I'm using Acrobat Pro Version 11. Thanks

The "embed" feature common to MS Office applications is not applicable to PDF (for the why and wherefore of PDF get comfortable and read the ISO Standard for PDF - ISO 32000-1:2008).
You can insert other PDF files' pages into any given PDF.
You can attach files of supported formats to a PDF (of course a PDF is supported).
You cannot "embed". So, nothing is broken.
Be well...

.pdf email attachments open in photoshop. How do I get them to open in Reader?

Hey,
.pdf email attachments open in photoshop. How do I get them to open in Reader?

You need to change your file association to open .pdf files with Adobe Reader.

Some fine line Graphics and shading are not displaying at all with OS X Yosemite

Our team is working on a new website layout. It is being developed in photoshop and then saved as a jpeg for review. All of the fine gray lines, boarders and some shading does not display at all. If I save a screen shot and mouse over to choose the screen shot all of the missing lines and shading appear correctly when holding down command-shift-4 to choose the screen shot. After the screen shot is chosen the saves screen shot still does not display the correct lines and shading. Anyone know what is going on? The jpegs are displaying correctly on my iphone and all other Mac Desktop operating systems.

So I returned the previous scanner and purchased the Epson Perfection V600 Photo. I'm still having the same problems and I downloaded the latest driver for it. I also downloaded the driver for my previous Canon Scanner before I returned it. It wasn't working the way I wanted it to work.
It wasn't the scanner after all but I do like the epson better. When I get it to scan, it's scans faster and has more resolution options.
Anyway
Basically I want to be able to scan in Photoshop CC but it's not working the way it used to in previous machines/OSs/photoshops.
I used to be able to go FILE>IMPORT>SCANNER NAME and then continually scan until I was finished. That is not the case and I have noticed it's a problem throughout when doing some research to fix it. I can scan continually if I got to my system preferences, select the "PRINTERS and SCANNERS" and then click "Open scanner".
In photoshop CC I can only get one scan and then I have to close photoshop if I want to do another scan. It's annoying knowing that I was able to in previous machines. Any solutions or plug-ins that I'm missing?
Thanks so much for everyone helping out!
Michael

Some of thy images are appearing pixelated. any idea on how to get the issue fixed

some of my images in Aperture/iPhoto are appearing pixelated. any idea on how to get the issue fixed

Where can I find a copy of that? Like if I were to completely delete everything on my ipod, what would I do to go about restoring my songs?
Also I have a theory that one of the videos on my ipod is causing all the other stuff. However, I can't delete videos off my ipod (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/20313736?ac_cid=tw123456#20313736). Is there any way i can get the music from the backup but not the videos?

I currently own and use Photoshop Elements 9, which does not sync at all with my Adobe Revel account and library. Is Photoshop Elements 13 able to be set to sync automatically with a Revel library? Thank you.

Unable to go any https site using FF and safari. Mac OS 10.6.7. Https sites are not displayed at all.

I was able to do all https sites before. Recently I have notied that whenever I go to any https site , the site is not displayed at all.
FF 4.0.1 and safari
e.g. go to www.skype.com and click on login link
can't login to FB
Can't display https://mail.yahoo.com
funny thing is I can't even go to http://www.apple.com
I get blank page and the browser keeps spinning.
Cleared all cache.
Pl. help.
thank you so much for your help.

Those sites display correctly provided they supply HTTPS. Which Yahoo does (HTTPS) and Apple doesn't on their main page (it's HTTP), but the forums here are HTTPS.
Go to your KeyChain Access.
Under Preferences > Certificates set the following
1: Best Attempt
2: Best Attempt
3: OCSP
Reboot the machine.
When you request a secure site it will check the certificates immediately instead of using Apple's outdated lists which require Apple to include them in a Software Update.
If someone is using these outdates certificates maliciously then that's likely the problem.
Also install the HTTPS Everywhere Add-on for Firefox, to ask websites to provide HTTPS. They always can't do it because of third party unencrypted content.
Also when that's finished. Run all the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot (you can cancel reboots in between jobs)
Does a good job of cleaning out gremlins.

Should have waited at least 4 more days.

Adobe Acrobat, Print multiple files to PDF and merge open files to closed files?

I have Adobe Acrobat XI Professional.
Print to PDF – How can this be done for more than 15 documents at a time? Right now, if I select 16 or more documents, I cannot ‘right click’ and choose ‘print’. Is this a setting issue? If I have many documents I need to print to PDF at once, it would be helpful if there wasn’t this limitation. Background: This needs to be done to PDF files created from Adobe Live Cycle (and possibly from other software) because the files cannot be merged unless they are ‘printed to PDF’ first. I don't know an alternate way to merge these files.
Also, if I have a multi-page PDF open and I need to parse out the pages to different files, is it possible to drag the selected pages out of the open PDF and hover over a closed PDF and have them added to the end of the closed PDF document? I don't know of a way to do this, but I thought I would check to see if anyone else was aware of a simpler way to parse pages from one document into several pre-existing documents without opening each and dragging the files between them.
Thanks!

Thank you for your response...I can do the additional step to combine them, the problem that I have is that the documents need to be in chronological order. If I print them to the pdf printer or export them, either way, windows sorts them and they are no longer chronological. While I can organize them when I combine them there are many times that there way too many that need combined into one pdf, making it a very inefficient and cumbersome process to do. So I was in hopes there was a way to just have the pdf printer create one file instead of one for each document, it would keep them in chronological order. I suppose I could number them on the print to keep them chronological - but when there are 75 or 100 documents it is a bit of a pain to sit there and respond to each document as it is being printed, and then need to do the additional step of combining. My goal in this process is to gain efficiency so thought I would see if anyone knew how to use the pdf printer to create the single file.

Click on .png in windows explorer and auto open in Photoshop CC

Before I downloaded Photoshop CC, I could click on a .png file in windows Explorer (not explore) and it would open in Photoshop. Now PS CC is not an option (in windows explorer even if I click " browse" for a program to open so cannot set it as a default. . Also PS CC is not an option if I want to right click to open a jpg in photoshop. RAW (.crw) files do open in photoshop CC so no problem there. . My tech said he could program windows so I can auto open .png and right click to open jpg (in Win Explorer); are there other options??? (Slower to open photoshop CC first and open the files there.)

Converting a crystal report to pdf and then opening the pdf automatically

I am successfully exporting a crystal report to a pdf file using code in vb.net 2008 in a windows application.   The crystal report is open in the viewer control and the user presses a button to export it.
I create a variable with the report name and the location.. All works correctly. However, I want the pdf to be open once it is saved which I believe is the case when you create the pdf using the build in crystal export control. But I am not using that.
I presume I could call another form and use the adobe com control, but i prefer to do this in one place.
How can I accomplish this.
Thanks

How about if I filter the open dialog box using the pdf name and folder. Then that one would be the only one open in the dialog box and if the user selects it, it would open. Have not tested yet, but this popped into my mind.   Seems better than a button on the form with the crystal view to open another form . Or I could have the adobe com object over laying the cr viewer and just make it visible if they press a button to open the abode file..
Maybe people have tried this and could comment on the better choice to view the pdf
1. call another form that contains the adobe com
2. place the adobe control over the cr viewer and make visible if user requests to see pdf.
3. use a filtered open dialog box.

Opening a PDF and passing open parameters...

I currently can open a pdf file using JSF 1.2 but I cannot figure out how to send in the adobe open parameters. I tried to append the open parameters #search=blah to the end of the File but am having no luck. Is it possible? Any ideas or can anyone point me in the right direction? I followed this example
File file = new File("C:\\blah.pdf");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(file.length());
response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "inline; filename=\"" + file.getName() + "\"");
BufferedInputStream input = null;
BufferedOutputStream output = null;
view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
try
input = new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream(file), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
output = new BufferedOutputStream(response.getOutputStream(), DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE);
byte[] buffer = new byte[DEFAULT_BUFFER_SIZE];
int length;
while ((length = input.read(buffer)) > 0)
output.write(buffer, 0, length);
finally
close(output);
close(input);
Appreciate any comments! Thanks!

Re: Opening a PDF and I get a blank dialog box with a ? in it.
As an update the work around is to have Adobe open in the background and you wont get the error.
The software in question calls the registry to launch adobe calling HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT > .pdf > AcroExch.Document

Pdfs and screenshots opened in Photoshop are appearing pixelated, or not displaying at all.
