Why is my Photoshop PDF weird looking after save?

For some reason when I save from Photoshop as a Photoshop PDF, the text stops showing up halfway through the document and looks like a watermark the rest of the way with the colors off... This did not use to happen but it started after I saved one PDF as PDF/X then tried to go back to normal settings. It does not look this way in Photoshop, but if I send to a client an they try to open in Acrobat or any other PDF client, it looks messed up.
Here is the PDF in Photoshop:
Here is the PDF when opened in Acrobat:
Does anyone have any idea how I can remedy this issue? it is very important because PDF is the format most of our clients require for marketing materials.

There are a couple other posts here with the same issue. You may want to do a forum search on the topic to see if there are any solutions. Also, try searching over in the OTHER Adobe run Photoshop forum, http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family to see if this has been brought up.
I have seen this when appear when a pdf is being rendered, but not it was not permanent.

"Vaguely like" is the best we can hope for and a minor miracle in itself. PDF was never meant to be converted.

Why unable to sign PDF with certificate after applying Nitro PDF password protection? (despite it explicitly allowing signing with certificates)

I used Adobe Reader XI to sign PDFs with certificate, which worked perfectly. Except that the PDF could still be edited by other programs (for example, Nitro PDF) after the signing (but not the fill out fields and the signature). To apply password protection makes sense to avoid changes in the PDF being made after it has been signed. So I applied password protection via Nitro PDF that allows only enter fill-out fields and signing. But when I open it with Adobe Reader, the filling out works fine, but the signing part is not available to click on it (all of the buttons under "Sign" tab are grey). When I go on the Security properties with Adobe Reader, I can explicitly see that signing of this PDF is allowed and yet the option is not open to use for me anymore.
Any ideas on why it is the case and what I could do about that?
Many thanks!
O.

Actually yes, I just asked my colleague to assist me with this, he password-protected the PDF with Acrobat 8, explicitly allowing for signing and fill-out functions, it also appears in Adobe Reader under security properties as "allowed", but it is not open to use in the Reader for me anymore (grey buttons).

Why Photoshop PDF adverts look faded when get printed on newspaper?

I've to export artwork into PDF, which is the only acceptable format by newspaper publisher.
What steps should be take to make sure that actual colors printed in newspaper are close to colors in Photoshop?
One of the newspaper publisher told me something about half-tone? How do they affect printed colors? Which related settings should I choose in Photoshop?
Are ICC profiles really useful? Should I avoid them for newspaper advert? Photoshop on Mac automatically puts some ICC profile in PDF.
Does it matter whether I'm working on MAC or Windows as far as colors are concerned?
If there are some specific guidelines, is it possible to do all these automatically via Action Scripts for all existing artworks?
Which colors I should't use for newspaper ads?

I assume You are working in RGB?
1) Convert the image to the proper profile (but keep the RGB-file) – in much of Europe that would be ISOnewspaper26v4, available here: http://www.eci.org/doku.php?id=en:downloads, for the rest of the world You better check with the newspapers.
But do at least test if the Render Intent »Perceptual« or »Relative Colorimetric« provides better results, »Black Point Compensation« can also make some difference.
When working on RGB-files View – Proof Colors can be used to preview separation results (the conditions can be edited in View – Proof Setup).
One could of course also convert at PDF-export, but for example black text would then result in a 4C-Black which would be inadvisable out of print-considerations.
2) Halftone is anything that’s not 1bit, images that contain shades of colors – so basically all photographs and areas of color that are neither 0% or 100% in any of the process colors.
This will affect the resulting appearance in that the paper used for newspapers soaks up the ink more than coated paper, thereby increasing the dot gain, making an area of a certain percentage in a color appear darker than it would if printed on less absorbent paper.
At the same time the paper and its surface make it impossible to achieve as deep a black as on higher quality paper and requires a smaller amount of total ink (usually 240% maximum).
3) Please read the pertinent sections in the Help (»Chapter 6: Color management«).
Are ICC profiles really useful?
Profiles are Your best way to attain any predictability as to the resulting appearance – so long as the printers take their Color Management seriously.
4) No.
But You should always embed the profiles in Your working files and save the pdfs according to one of the PDF-X-standards and make sure the correct Output Intent is selected under Output – PDF/X.
5) Are You to provide the finished layouts with text, logos, etc. or are You only working on images to be combined later on by someone else?
Anyway the separation (Edit – Convert to Profile) could certainly be applied as an Action.
6) View – Color Warning (command-shift-Y) can be used to assess which colors are out of gamut for the selected Proof Setup (just make sure to select the correct Proof Conditions) and therefore change the most significantly.
Be advised that to maintain sharpness of fonts or graphic elements You must not rasterize the font Layers or the Vector Masks of Layers.

Why won't Photoshop PDF's read well on iPads?

At first, I thought it was specifically Safari on iPad that would not display vector data (such as text) from PDF's created with Photoshop CS6.
Then I installed Chrome on my iPad and got the same problem. Displays all the pixel data, but none of the vector (text).
Is this a known issue?
I am referring to PDF's created via Photoshop CS6's "Save As" at regular unmodified/default settings. The iPad is the most recent iPad 4. The Safari and Chrome versions are the latest as well.

Everything is default settings. So whatever the default is, that's the answer to your questions.
Please note, the PDF file has no problems opening anywhere else, including computers that don't have the font being used. So it's being properly translated.
In fact, if it was a missing font issue, the text would still be displayed, only in a different font. I'm saying NONE of the vector info is being displayed, only the pixel backgrounds.
You wrote that is not what is happening on you iOS system. You have used two browsers apples and googles and their PDF plugins and they do not seem to be working like you PC or Mac computers. The plugin operrate in iOS did you try iBook. The Web files served up by the Web servers are the same unless there is special HTML code that detect that your on a iOS moble device. If that code exist on the server may serve up something different for your iOS device then it does for you computers.
I do not know how to configure Chrome on an iOS device does not seem to exist. On your PC or Mac in the Crome address bar enter about:plugins you will see that PDF are handled by

Why does my Photoshop CS4 Closed Immediately after I open it?

I can't figure it out. Photoshop closes about a second after I open it. I would have thought it was my PC, but it was working okay a couple of weeks ago.
I'm running Windows XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Glad to help.

Why Photoshop CC will close after 10 seconds after opening?

Why Photoshop CC will close after 10 seconds after opening?

I seem to have the same problem, but following the link given above has only been partially successful.
It tells me to find a log file, and then to look up the error messages in a Knowledge Base. I've found the error messages, but the link to the Knowledge Base doesn't seem to lead anywhere very helpful.
The 'ERROR' from my most recent attempt to launch Ps reads:
"08/17/14 21:13:53:333 | [ERROR] | | | | RoyaltyTableParser | | | 1028 | Signature successfully validated for royalty table"
which on the face of it doesn't look much like an error. But I can't find this Knowledge Base to look it up. Most of the other lines in the log file are labelled as '[INFO]', though some say '[DEBUG]'.
I'm running Win7 (64).

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import pdf?

Mac OSX Lion: Why does PS CS6 BETA stop responding after attempting to import single pdf or multiple pdfs? frequently happens(2/3 times)

Can you provide any more information about the files that are causing the problems? Are these particularly large files? Many pages or images? Have you opened these files in Photoshop CS5, or other versions of Photoshop?
What do you see when you try to import these PDFs? Do you get the PDF Import dialog, allowing you to select pages or images from the PDF? Is so, is it hanging when you click OK or at another time?
Any more details about the problem or other info (as well as sample files) you can provide, the easier it will be for us to help identify the cause of your problems.

Bug Report: "View PDF After Saving" Does Not Work When Saving as Photoshop PDF

The saved PDF file is not opening in Acrobat after saving a file as a Photoshop PDF. I noticed it happening a few times in earlier beta testing, but today it happened again.
I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 10.1.2 installed on MacPro with Lion OS 10.7.3. Photoshop public beta m415. System info can be provided if needed.
The file I was trying to save was about 8 MB. Once it failed to open after save, I tried varied PDF settings and save locations. Also tried several different files. All were saved properly as PDF files, but would not continue to open in Acrobat as previous versions have done. The files open properly when you click on the file names in saved location.

I'm happy I could help and feel a bit proud to have found a real bug. The simplest work around is just clicking on the file list once it's done...that's certainly not a problem.

Hi. Because the forum you originally posted in is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop, I moved your question to the Photoshop General Discussion forum.

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update??

Why do old Adobe PDF files which I attach to a document show as Firefox documents in my files instead of an Adobe PDF file after an Adobe Reader update? My saved files Adobe PDF documents also appear as Firefox documents instead of Adobe PDF files.

NO MATTER WHAT VERSION OF WINDOWS YOU'RE USING:
Right click one of the PDFs with the Word icon.
Select "Properties"
Where it says "Opens With" there is a button to change it from Word to Adobe Reader, which should be in the list of available programs that pops up.
Choose Reader, and click APPLY before clicking OK.
That will change ALL PDFs to Reader as the default application.

A Photoshop PDF doesn't look the same inside a PDF Portfolio

Hi,
I have a Photoshop PDF file that looks good on screen and includes re-touching I did to it. However, when I place it in a PDF portfolio, the edits aren't there anymore.
Anyone know what might be going on?
Thanks!

Short of you having used the wrong file, I can't think of much... Computers aren't sentient and can't do these kinds of things...

Thank you for the help.

Hi;
This FAQ should describe the issue - you need to be using Adobe Reader (free) or Adobe Acrobat to fill out the PDF, Preview on the Mac breaks the PDF so it is no longer usable: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2653

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop?

Why are the adobe pdf presets grayed out in photoshop? I'm trying to save an image to "Press Quality" as a pdf and the settings are grayed out.

Maybe a screenshot of your Photoshop working area with the image opened, image tab and the layer panels showing might give us an idea. I can't guarantee that I can help, but someone might be familiar with the situation.
Also a screenshot of the Save as Adobe PDF and the PDF settings dialog as separate shots would also help as well. That way we see what you see.
