Strange White Areas When Saving Photoshop File as a .pdf File ??? NEED HELP

Using Photoshop CS5 -- I saved a Photoshop file I created as a .pdf file but some of the areas on the .pdf file (specifically, sections of text) do not have any of the color/fill information, they are just white (blank areas).  I've seen this before when converting other Photoshop files and could not find a work around.  I tried saving with various compression levels (max, high, med) and it makes no difference.  I’m not a techie or graphic designer, just an average Jane, so I need information and advice that I can understand and apply.  See attached image.  Thanks!

That does sound a long way round.  The usual trick when layers don't do what you expect them to do, is to make a Copy Merged layer at the top of the stack.  Shift Alt Ctrl e (Shift Opt Cmd e). 
I can see you have quite a few layers there, but you could problably track down the problem by Alt clicking each layer's Eye icon in turn to view them with everything else turned off.  When you find the culprit, Alt click it's Eye icon again to turn the other layers back on again.

  • Strange error message when saving Photoshop CS5 files

    Once in awhile, and only with some files, I get the following pop-up message when I save an image that I've been editing in Photoshop CS5:
    "The disk copy of <filename> was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save it anyway?"
    Unless I'm missing something, this is the most idiotic message I've ever seen. OF COURSE I want to save it. And why? Because the file has changed.
    Can anyone tell me why this message pops up and whether I need to do anything about it?
    Thanks!

    The details shouldn't really matter. But OK: I'm running Photoshop CS5 on a 2010 iMac 3.06GHz i3 with 8GB of RAM and OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 installed. I save my files the old-fashioned way: Command-S.
    I've been using Photoshop since version 1.0 and have never seen this message before. An explanation would be appreciated.

  • When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?

    Hello,
    When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?
    Iam a very happy user of Photoshop, specially for my raw files... i find it frustrated that i can't work on my files for now..
    Greatings Danny

    The D5500 was just released and Adobe is working on support. Cannot say how long for sure, but it should be within a month or two. Meanwhile, you could shoot in NEF+JPEG and set Camera Raw to open your JPEGs as well. Not as much data, but will be better than nothing..

  • When is Photoshop going to support RAW files for the new Nikon D750?

    When is Photoshop going to support RAW files for the new Nikon D750?

    You can always monitor the forum for announcements. My experience has been that I have been automatically notified when the official updates are available. I'm using Photoshop CS6, and the application manager associated with that program always notifies me when there is an update available. You can go ahead and install the release candidate now, and still install the official release when it comes.

  • When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." Is there any way to correct this problem?

    When I attempt to open a PDF file I saved from a website using Safari, I get the message "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired." When I save the same PDF file using FireFox it opens up immediately. Is there any way to correct this problem with Safari?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • Why my preview keeps freezing when I make several underlines in pdf file?

    Why my preview keeps freezing when I make several underlines in pdf file? It keeps saving and freezing.

    This is my first time posting here, so I'm sorry, I re-read my post several times and honestly did think I provided enough information, but you're right, it wasn't the right kind. So please (continue to) bear with me, I'm really not trying to be ignorant. I honestly assumed the issue was something I was doing wrong in Bridge, nothing to do with my computer specs.
    I am using a late-2008 Macbook, running Yosemite 10.1.1 (screenshot below)
    On the Mac I am using Bridge CC 6.1.1.115 and Photoshop CC 2014 (2014.2.1 release, 20141014.r.257 x64)

    I work with jpg, psd, ai, svg, and pdf files. Most of my stacks are three different file types of the same image, usually jpg, psd/ai, and pdf.
    I have not recieved any error messages
    I am not having issues opening raw files, I am not having printing issues, I have listed the troubleshooting steps I have taken.
    Is there any information you need that I missed? I'm trying not to be a dingus, but I'll have to ask you to be patient with me in the meantime. I haven't ever looked up half the hardware/software details that were suggested and I don't know how to off the top of my head, so I provided what I already knew how to

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged.  To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf"  I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file.  After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared.  How do I resolve this problem?

  • Error message when trying to merge multiple files into single PDF file

    Greetings! I'm on windows 7 professional, adobe 9 pro and a 64 bit PC. When I try to merge several PDF files from the same folder into a single PDF file I get this error message "You can choose multiple items only if they are all located in the same folder" - Please help! Thx.

    The product is Acrobat, not Adobe. That being said, I suspect you may only be running AA 9.0 and that may be the issue. If you have not done the updates to the 9.5.5, you probably should. That may fix the issue you are having, particularly since you mentioned a 64-bit system.

  • Firefox closes when I try to view a pdf file

    when I try to view a pdf file a warning comes up and firefox closes

    I am not sure what is happening, but if you are unable to open pdf file whilst they are on your computer, it is unlikely that you will be able to open pdf files that are on the internet.
    I am not sure your problem is with firefox, because it seems you may not be able to open pdf files even with another application such as Adobe Reader.
    The runtime error message is probably generated by your OS Vista, and indicates you have a problem with whatever you are trying to run.
    * see [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-is-a-runtime-error MS link] '' " What is a runtime error? " ''
    Post back again once you are able to open ordinary pdf files that are on your computer.

  • TS3276 When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail the pdf is opened in the e-mail, replacing the text. How do I attach it as a file?

    When I try to attach a pdf file to an e-mail it opens and is pasted into the e-mail. How do I attach it as a file?

    It is an attachment, it is the way Apple Mail program displays it. When you add the attachment by either using the attach clip or drag and drop, have your cursor were you want the file to be, i.e. under text you have already written.
    You can test for yourself that they are still attachments, log into the web account of your email if it as one and send an email to yourself from Apple mail with an attachment and on the web account it will show as an attachment.
