Photoshop CS5 fails to open pdfs

Photoshop CS5 fails to open some pdfs created in Indesign. The message 'Could not complete your request because of a program error' comes up. Is this posibly a system issue not seeing the file information or a fault in photoshop.

We can't know. We know nothing about your PDFs nor your system. This could be anything from genuine structural damage in the files to embedding issues with fonts, PDF security stuff or jumbled up color profiles or whatever. You have to provide a lot more details.

  • Fail to open PDF file. Error for trying to paste in object.

    So occasionaly, i will paste in a PDF into my InDesign document and this error will pop up, Fail to open PDF file.  It's not like im opening
    the file im just trying to paste it in.  I try other pdf files and the same error comes up.  Usually this error does not happen when i am pasting in
    PDF's into my document but when one error comes up, no PDF's will work.  I have to resave my file into another format and then it will work.
    What is up with these errors that happen sometimes?

  • Photoshop CS5 will not open

    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • Photoshop CS2 Fails to open

    Photoshop CS2 fails to open on two of our Macs. One is a G5 with Tiger, the other is a G4. I deleted the .psp file on the G5, tried to reopen, but it failed. Here is the error message.
    EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
    Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0xad7c6007
    Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    It is usually enough to check it on the enclosing folder. Depending on which version of the OS you have, it should also by itself include enclosed content. In Tiger there is a choice (as far as I remember - I no logner have any machine with Tiger) to include the enclosed folders when you set permissions.

  • Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files

    Photoshop CS5 won't open .kmz files. I did a fresh install of Google Earth, opened it, saved a place, and saved a .kmz file. It reopens fine in Google Earth.
    When I try to open it in Photoshop, this message pops up:
    File Format Error
    This file is from a previous version of Google Earth or it is not a Google Earth file
    I get this message regardless of the following:
    - ps is closed and i right click the kmz and choose ps (rather than google earth) to open it
    - ps is open and i double click the kmz
    - ps is open and i choose file/open and select the kmz
    - ps is open and i have created and saved a new psd file, then choose 3D/New Layer from 3D File/ and select the kmz
    I have tried the usual remedies, change rwx permissions, repair permissions, delete prefs. No luck.
    Any thoughts? Software versions are below.
    Thanks.
    - Photoshop CS5 Extended 12.0.4 x64 (doesn't work in x32 either)
    - Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
    - OS 10.6.8

    I was trying to see (since Photoshop Extended touts the ability to open kmz files) if I could open a 3D Google Earth file and edit it in Photoshop. A file like this for instance http://ecotope.org/anthromes/maps/. After more research I've learned that kmz is nothing more that a container format - you can change the extension to zip and see what's in it.
    I ran across this tidbit in the Photoshop CS3 Extended forum:
    Photoshop CS3 Extended supports the ability to import .kmz files created from Google Earth 4 or exported from Sketch-up in the Google Earth 4 format. Photoshop CS3 Extended cannot open Google Earth files. If you have a Google Earth file, you can convert it to a Google Earth 4 format with the free version of Sketch-up.
    So, theoretically if I could get a kmz into Google Earth 4 format, I could open it in Photoshop. But I haven't had any success importing a kmz or kml into SketchUp. Even just making a native sketchup file and trying to import that in psd gives a ram error.
    Probably I'm wishing for the moon.

  • Photoshop Cs5.1 wont open

    Photoshop Cs5.1 wont open, crashes on start up, already re installed it once.  its running on windows 7 and the error message that I get says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly..."

    Noel, thanks for your answer. I checked the system info for any usage of igXXXXX.dll files (I suppose Intel GMA drivers), but found nothing. It is however showing me a list of used ati*...dll drivers from which i conclude PS is using my dedicated GPU.
    Unfortunately I did not find any option to turn off the integrated graphics in my BIOS. I tried to increase the shared memory value (it was set to 32MB) to 1024MB and let PCIE be the primary GPU device. Still, those effects don't seem to have any effect on Photoshop.

  • Failed to open pdf error on every document

    Today I came and started placing pdf documents in Indesign CS3 like I always do, and suddenly I start getting "failed to open pdf" errors on every pdf file I try and place. I have tried all the suggested tactics of selecting show import options, changing the crop to bounding box, etc. Nothing working.
    I also tried to open the pdf in acrobat and export into a different format or optimize it using the pdf optimizer, but when I do that I get gobbly **** text on the pdf. See screenshots
    The only workaround that works is to save as a raster image. But this is incredibly time consuming. I also tried importing these same files into Indesign cs 4 and I get the same errors. I am wondering if this is a system wide issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
    I noticed all these pdf were created using cs4 and above. Not sure if this helps.

    Hold the Shift key as you click Place or turn on Show Import Options in the Place dialogue.
    I get this from time to time. Here’s what I think happens: You placed a PDF with Import Options showing so you could select a different crop method, like bleed. This becomes the new default import option for PDF files. But if you import a file with no bleed data InDesign gives an error message instead of either jumping to import options or telling you the default crop options are unavailable for this file. I would call it a bug. I have encountered it from at least version 4 (aka CS2).

    Hi,

    Why not let Safari/Preview handle your PDF files? Tiger offers this alternative. To do so, remove the Adobe Reader plug-in from your Internet Plug-in folder (may be in either your Main or User Library folder). When Safari encounters a PDF file, it will then automatically open the file in Safari using Previews PDF format.
    Another alternative (which includes removing the Adobe plug-in) is to use PDF Browser Plug-in. This plug-in is freeware for private use.

  • Photoshop CS5 has been opening at startup

    Photoshop CS5 has been opening at startup. There are no items in my accounts/login items list. Any idea why photoshop is opening?

    Does Photoshop open up automatically under ALL user accounts or just yours? (Create a an account and test...)
    If it DOES open no matter what account, it may be a setting PS has that's having it do that. (sounds like a call to Adobe?)
    Otherwise...
    Here's a link for disabling other areas for applications, etc., can "autostart".

  • Photoshop CS5 unable to open for edits from Lightroom 3

    Have been experiencing numerous issue with the new LR and Photoshop not playing nice with each other on my Mac Pro w/10.6. Photoshop CS5 is will open in 1 attempt out of 8, and won't open from LR for editing purposes (it did once). Have been using in 32 bit mode to accommodate NIK and Topaz filters. I have reinstalled three times so far. Anyone got any ideas?

    Try deleting the prefs folder for Photoshop. Mine was doing something like this where it would not open the image inside
    of CS5 when you right click on the image and try an "open with". But it would work from the menu, most of the time. The cost is having to recreate custom settings inside Photoshop but since my CS5 was a new install as was LR3, it did not matter to me. It did require a reboot for the new preference file to fully take effect.
    From Adobe's own workaround
    5. Re-create the Photoshop preferences files.
    Re-create the Photoshop preferences file to eliminate problems that a damaged preferences file might cause.
    Note: Re-creating the Photoshop preferences file restores settings to their defaults.
    To re-create the Photoshop preferences file:
    Quit Photoshop.
    Rename the Users\[username]\Library\Preferences\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Settings\Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp folder to Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.old.
    Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file.
    If the problem continues, then the Photoshop preferences file isn't the cause. To restore custom settings, quit Photoshop, then delete the new Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp file and restore the original name of the previous Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp

    The above was working when I wrote it.
    The next time I tried to use it it fails to open the PDF.
    What I get:

    This functionality may not be availble in this version of Photoshop. - <no additional information available>
    Removing the 'showing dialogs never' causes Photoshop to ask me what files to open and how to handle the PDF.
    Changing the tell to say:
    tell application "Adobe Acrobat"
    open alias myFilePath
    end tell
    Opens all the PDFs as I expected it to because the file alias is valid. I have appropriate file access.
    set this_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Pick the folder containing the PDF files to process:" ) as string
    tell application "System Events"
        set these_files to every file of folder this_folder
