Save as .pdf in Photoshop CS5 - serious font issues.

Hello.
It may not be directly about Acrobat, but since it's a PDF issue maybe someone here will be able to help.
I'm having serious issues with fonts while saving as .pdf from Ps.
No matter what pdf settins I use, the fonts result messed up one way or the other (see attachment). It only happens when saving as .pdf from Ps, while all works fine when saving from Illustrator, Word, etc...
I have no idea what could be the reason. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Windows 7 x32/x64 (same issue on two machines)
Adobe Photoshop 12.0.3 x32/x64 respectively
Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.0.0 x64
Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.1 x32

Solved.
After going through all the preferences - it was due to "2D graphics acceleration" being on for some reason.
So - you put "2D graphics acceleration" in Acrobat (9 an/or 10) an the above is what you get... hmmm.....
Thanks for assistance.

Photoshop CS5 Tooltip Font Issue

I am using Photoshop CS5, recently updated to 12.0.2 on Windows XP Pro 32 bit.
When I first started using Photoshop CS5, I noticed that tooltips within the application would not show up, even though that option was enabled in Preferences. Today after installing the 12.0.2 update, the tooltips now show up, but the font is having some issues. Here's an example:
As you can see, the font of the tooltip is all kinds of messed up. Restarting Photoshop causes the words in the tooltip to rotate at different angles and display at different sizes and styles. Disabling and re-enabling tooltips in Preferences has the same effect. I have not made any recent changes to my font library, or installed any new applications. This is the only Adobe application in which this is happening.
I've been using Photoshop for about 8 versions by now. Tooltips aren't really necessary for me anymore, so I can just turn them off and be done with it. But it's frustrating to not have things working correctly. Any suggestions?

I understand that corporate IT is slow to adopt new things. It has always been thus.
But if you write memos to your IT management (and your own management) that say that the apps you need to do your work are really not working right any longer with the old system, that would put some heat on getting them to start to upgrade. It might even net you a new computer in the short term.
The IT folks skipped Vista (which sounds justifiable, but it really wasn't). Now they're trying to delay Windows 7 as long as possible. Give them the reasons they can't. Windows 7 may be pretty different, but it really works. They may say they're waiting for Service Pack 1, but I suspect it's fear of change mostly.
Honestly, if any IT department hasn't already begun serious development behind the scenes to work out what's involved with switching to Windows 7, then they are dinosaurs and need to be fired. It's become impossible to buy computers with XP pre-installed. What will they do when they buy one that simply can't be downgraded to their own XP installation? At some point computer companies will determine it's no longer cost effective to support XP (no drivers, etc.).
Microsoft has already ended Mainstream Support for XP and sales of new copies of XP, and has set the Extended Support end date (granted, it's been extended and is not imminent).

Photoshop CS5 *serious* printing issue

Dear Adobe Programmers,
we recently buy Photoshop CS5 standalone for Windows. We installed the software on Windows XP with Service Pack 3.
We are a copy center so we need to produce an huge amount of prints every day. After the installation I tried to print a page, the printer doesn't start, and I ask myself "oh well... why?". Ok, after the first try I try a second time and this time the print comes out correctly. I then open another file, launch 5 copy to the printer.. and surprise! Only 1 print comes out. So I reopen the Print dialog, i set 4 copies and... surprise! It print 5 copies. And so on, if I launch a print it print the previously setted number of copy instead of the actually inserted.
Then I found a workaround. Open the print dialog, set the number of copies needed, then hit CLOSE on the dialog windows, open it another time and send the print... this way it print the correct number of copies.
I have a past as programmer and I think your programmers made a mistake with the variable scope of the number of copies, in fact, it seems that the number is passed to the variable once the dialog is closed instead of real-time change to the value.
I read another thread where your programmers were blabbing about Microsoft problem or drivers problem. Well we can exclude both since the other programs print the needed amount of print requested, and the drivers are from differents brands and different type of printers, we actually have 2 Konica Minolta 500, 1 Konica Minolta 253C, 1 Epson Stylus Pro 9880, 1 Xerox 6030, and you want to make us CUSTOMER believe that the problem is a third part one? Don't make us laugh please. This problem is out since at least June as I can read from the previous post, and no patches have been dispatched to solve this. Please check your software better before you release to the market.
Also I wonder why in the hell you have removed the Automate->Pdf Presentation function... also it is written in some pages that this is available as plugin (I checked before I buy PS CS5) but, surprise again, there isn't any Automate->Pdf Presentation plugin available.
I'm looking forward for a very early reply. This is why I dislike closed source program, because with Open Source Program this stupid problem would have been fixed in a couple of day.
Best regards.

I would think a business would have downloaded and tested the 30 day trial, before purchase, to ensure there would be no problems.
There is a posting in here that states that the xerox print driver package has a old driver error in it and to only down load the stand alone printer drivers. That fixed one issue for someone with a xerox printer.

Anyone know where the photoshop cs5 essential font folder is located?

anyone know where the photoshop cs5 essential font folder is located?
i know the windows font folder works, but adobe used to have a font folder of there own.
there is no C:\Program Files\Common Files\Fonts in cs5.
only
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\FontsRequired
and
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\FontsRecommended
which i did try.

The Adobe font folder is a goner. It is deprecated as of CS5 and no longer used. any fonts must be installed using your operating system's font management.

Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

I still don’t have a clue…

Random text appearing as bold when creating PDF from Photoshop CS5

Hi I am a relative newcomer to Photoshop CS5. I have been creating a document with a background image layer and a couple of text box layers. The font is set at Arial, italic, sharp. When I save the document as a PDF file, random words appear in bold. I have tried deleting these words in the PSD document text layer and retyping them but they still appear as bold in the PDF file. Interestingly when I save as a JPEG image the bold words appear as normal. Any ideas/ tips would be greatly appreciated. CS5 version is 12.0.4 and OS is Windows XP.

Printing PDFs from Photoshop CS5 creates unworkable miniature files

I work on Photoshop CS5 files and print them to pdf all day long with no trouble, most of the time. Occasionally however I complete a file in Photoshop and print to pdf and the file outputs as some kind of completely unworkable miniature. Very small file that fits in a tiny corner of the canvas size it should occupy. Once this occurs I must reboot my computer 3-4 times before the print to pdf features returns to normal function. Today this happened on two separate computers almost simultaneously after I switched over from one to the other to get this job out and it occurred to me it might have been the actual file I was working with. Corrupt or something. The I tested some files that had worked in the past and they too went "miniature". When this happens I save as pdf just to get the job out. While this works, the saved pdf is always a much larger file than the printed pdf version, with completely similar resolution quality. I love my print pdf feature, but it seems to have developed a little occasional psychosis in version CS5 and I was wondering if anyone has a fix up their sleeve, or can tell me what setting I am accidentally activating to make the output so tiny. It's pretty frustrating.

I advise you to contact Adobe Technical support through phone
or you may also refer the acrobat user forums posted on adobe.com

Open a pdf in Photoshop CS5 shows jpg - but no grafic

I have a handbook opened in Photoshop CS5 and I can see the jpg images of the handbook.
But not the grafic scematic images.
I am not aware if these are in svg or whatever.
How can I get access to those grafics?
Yes, I may open a page and copy a grafic,
but I would like to get the original content.
Thanks,

If you are opening a PDF in Photoshop and having a problem, then the Photoshop forum is the place to ask. This has noothing to do with Acrobat.

Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 Fonts

Hello, i use Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 and i know that it's possible to add some fonts on it. I've downloaded them but don't know where to put them, i can't find the "Fonts" folder in Adobe folder. Also i want the font that is on this website: http://2doggames.com header, yellow words: "dog games".
I'm wating for your answers impatiently.
Thanks in advance.

Fonts are handled by your operating system. You add them to your Windows Fonts folder or the Font Book Utility (Mac).

Edit multiple password-protected PDFs using Photoshop CS5 Javascript scripting.

Good Evening,
Situation: I have a huge stack of PDF files and I'm using Photoshop CS5 to slice out previews and other things automatically, using a self-built javascript. Some (100+) of these PDFs are password-protected. I have the password to these files.
Problem: Every time the script tries to open one of the protected PDFs it will open a popup, stop the whole process and wait for the user to input the password.
Question: Is there a way to add the password to the open command of the app.open(...) function? Or more simply put, can this be fully automated?
What I looked at so far: "PDFOpenOptions", "app.open(...)", the javascript reference("photoshop_cs5_javascript_ref.pdf") in general.
Basic Example code:
var f = new File("path to some password protected PDF");
var d = app.open(f); //this will trigger the password popup
doSomethingWithMyDocument(d);
d.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have access to Photoshop CS6 as well, if that somehow solves the problem.
If I'm looking at a dead-end, feel free to tell me too.

It is possible to do that via Scripting.
If you are unable to create such a Script maybe you should look up the chapter »Creating data-driven graphics« in the documentation.

Crash when quitting, or error "the file is locked" or "Could not save Prefs" occurs in Photoshop CS5

The following knowledge base article contains a link to a script you can double click to fix any permission issues for Photoshop CS5:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/845/cpsid_84517.html

Further Google searching found this bit of information....and it fixed our problem!
Rather than deleting the files I renamed them as follows Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs_old & Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs_old
To fix and prevent this error from happening, the user will navigate to:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings
Depending on what version of photoshop is causing the error to appear you will delete the following file:
Adobe Photoshop CS6 Prefs.psp (for 32bit version)
Adobe Photoshop X64 CS6 Prefs.psp (for 64bit version)

Why can't I save my GIF in Photoshop CS5?

When I click 'Save for Web and Devices' the window pops up and it starts to load. But then the image goes red. If I click save it says I don't have enough memory to save the image or Photoshop just forces closed. Please help me fix this! What is going on?!

We need to know the exact source of the file and what system you're on. Could simply be an unresolvable compatibility issue/ unsupported format.
