Photoshop :: How To Stop PS3 From Importing Transparent PDFs

Sep 5, 2013

Usually, whenever I opened a pdf in photoshop, it would come as the "background layer itself" with white coulour behind the text.
 
However, for some reason now whenever I open a pdf in photoshop it keeps comming up just like this:
 
How can I stop photoshop from doing this?
 
There should be a "background layer" showing up by default. Shouldn't it?
 
Instead the pdf is showing up as a single layer of text without a "background layer."
 
Is it possible to configure photoshop to keep this from happening?

AutoCad :: Importing PDFs Of Drawings?

Sep 9, 2010

I am wanting to import pdf's of drawings into my AC08. I just want them in there for reference purposes, i draw submittals and have them in pdf format and on paper, just on big jobs nice to be able to just scroll over and reference rooms and such. I dont need them to be to scale or scalable. I copied and pasted some in but they were so small, by the time i zoomed in on them they just look like a bunch of vectors and not very legible.

Illustrator :: Importing PDFs - Size Discrepancy Between AI And PS

Nov 22, 2012

I run a department that cleans PDF architectural drawings in Illustrator and Photoshop for use in online documentation software.  I am currently working on creating spreadsheets laying out "if plan is 1/8" = 1', scale at 'X' %", etc, as up until now it is simply done by eye, but we try to scale up or down all plans to roughly the same size.  While trying to determine a scaling ratio to create these charts, I realized that when I imported the same PDF into AI, it resizes the image, where as when I import it into photoshop, it imports it at full size.  For example, I took the same PDF and dropped it into AI, and it was 2108 x 2881, and when dropping into PS it was 8788 x 12007
 
How can I import a PDF into AI and PS and have them be the same dimensions?I saved a GIF file 5,000 pixels wide, and it imported 5,000 pixels wide into both programs, so it appears I am only having this issue when working with PDF files.

Lightroom :: Stop Importing Photoshop Files?

Mar 18, 2014

In my Lightroom catalogue, I often need to open a raw (dng) file in Photoshop, work on it there and save the result as a jpeg. The jpeg is then sent to a client after which I have no further use for it, so normally I would delete it. However I find that every time I 'save as' in Photoshop, Lightroom imports that file into its database. The only exception is if I choose 'save for web' in Photoshop. I'm told that this behaviour is wrong - that LR shouldn't automatically import these images.

Photoshop :: Why Are Pdfs From In Design So Bad?

May 5, 2009

My designer has created some pdf portfolios from In Design (which I don't own and have never used) . They are quite blurry and off color. I have taken the same images and run them in PHotoshop and Bridge 4 and the pdfs produced by PS and Bridge looks 10 times shaper and clearer.

This gets complex becuase they are all formatted quite complexly for In Design, and it will take too much time to re-formatt them for Photoshop or Bridge. But she has no idea why they are not coming out sharp and nice with In Design.

It's not compression.

She has been outputting with no compression from In Design and they still look subpar.

Photoshop :: Sliced Transparent PNG 24 Not Saving As Transparent When Exported

Dec 7, 2012

I am working on a Mac (Snow Leapord) with Photoshop CS6. When I try to save a sliced and transparent PSD in the Save For Web dialog box with PNG-24, the transparency dissapears once exported. I have the transparency and interlaced boxes both checked.  The images appear transparent in the Optimized Save for Web dialog box, but the transparency dissapears once exported out of Photoshop.
 
I never had a problem with this when I was using CS4...

Photoshop :: CS6 Save As PDF Creates Bad PDFs

Mar 31, 2013

I'm on a MacPro using the latest version of Lion, 10.8.3.I'm trying to convert my .psd files (CS6 13.0.4 x64) into PDFs with embedded fonts, but if I do a Save As and select Photoshop PDF and then select High Quality Print, the resulting PDF files show text that appears to be partly corrupted, no matter what application I view them in.
 
Examples, first the original PSD file:

And here's how it looks as an exported Photoshop PDF: The text that looks normal (starting with Holmes) can be selected, but the rest does not act normal at all.

Photoshop :: CS6 Not Creating Layered PDFs?

Oct 10, 2013

Why can I not create a pdf file from CS6 that preserves my layers, which are also known as OCG's, Optional Content Groups?  In "save as pdf", I have layers checked and I am indicating I want to preserve Photoshop functionality, which causes the PDF/X box to go to "None".  What am I doing wrong?  I know there is a script for saving each layer as a pdf automatically from which I could build the layered Acrobat file I want, but it I'd like a one-step process.  There is every indication that this should happen, but it does not.

Photoshop :: Action Converting PDFs To TIFFs

Dec 5, 2008

I've got a folder with about 200 pdfs in (all single pages as I've split them as such). What I want to do is set up an action that opens them in photoshop, converts them to a bitmap and saves them as a TIFF. Easy right? Nope.

I've set this up by recording the action. What happens is it opens all the files in turn and changes them to bitmaps as I want, but when it saves them, it saves them all with the same file name, which is the name of the first one (the one I recorded the action with), this means it keeps replacing the first file.

what I want it to do is to save each file with it's own file name!

Photoshop :: CS3 Prints Awful Black And White PDFs

Jan 20, 2009

I have been merrily taking screen shots for a recent work project, pasting them into Photoshop, adding a touch of sharpening via Highpass filter, and printing them to PDF. suddenly, with the most recent print, I am greeted for the first time with the message "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer." I also noticed all of my other prints to pdf were 72 dpi, suddenly this one is 121 PPI. The PDF is black and white, although the original document is full color, and it has the moire pattern of a scan taken at the wrong resolution, a pattern of little squares all over.

Every PDF I save from Photoshop is like this now, filters or no.

What the heck happened? How can I get my pdfs back?

Photoshop Elements :: PDFs Checkered On Import - Seen As Layer

Feb 18, 2014

having only used Photoshop elements for about 6 months. I have frequently imported PDFs into Elements, where they always showed up as the background. I could see the information clearly, draw on the PDF, and then save it as a jpeg with the modifications that I made (work project).
 
However, today the PDFs are showing up checkered (which I read has something to do with transparency). It also is imported with the title "Layer 1" not a background layer, like before.
 
I edited the transparency preferences to reduce the grid size to "none", but that only created a white block where the PDF should be--the information that was in the PDF didn't show up. It's like the PDFs are not showing up at all when I import them.

Photoshop :: Unable To Apply Curves To PDFs Open In CS6 Beta?

May 9, 2012

I'm having trouble with applying curves. I import a PDF and try to apply curves to it. After I open up curves and change the settings, I see the live preview on the PDF, but when I press OK to save changes, it goes back to the original PDF as if none of the changes were saved.
 
I also tried applying curves as a new adjustment layer, and that appears to make the changes stick. But if I resave the PDF or print it out, it still comes out looking like it did before the changes I made.
 
Lastly, I tried adding curves adjustment layers, and then merging all the layers, or flattening the image. In both cases, the PDF went back to what it looked like originally.

Photoshop :: Saving CMYK PDFs From CC With JPEG High Compression

Jul 29, 2013

When I save a PDF file in Photoshop CC in CMYK color with JPEG compression (quality = high), it will save without any errors. However, when I open the file in Acrobat, I get an "Out of Memory" pop up error. I press Ok, and the document is just displayed as a blank white image.

I'm using Win7 64-bit, Photoshop CC 64-bit. Plenty of memory (24GB) and allocated RAM in preferences, and I've done some troubleshooting that leads me to believe the error is not due to system memory, but rather a specific bug in the software. I have Photoshop CS6 on the same machine, and if I open the PSD, save as PDF with the above settings, everything is fine when I open it using Acrobat. This seems to just be for Photoshop CC, not CS6.
 
Here is the troubleshooting I've done so far:
PDF format, RGB color, any other settings --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, no compression --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [medium] --> Acrobat can open the file.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [high] --> Acrobat can NOT open the file because it encounters the "out of memory" error.
PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [maximum] --> Acrobat can open the file.

Photoshop :: Transparent Gradient Is Not So Transparent

Jan 30, 2013

Hey, I'm having troubles with applying a gradient tool to a rectangular marquee in Photoshop CS3 for Mac OS X 5.8.  Instead of getting a black color to fade into the background, I just get the black color. 

And I'm click and dragging about 1.5 inches long.  Sometimes I end up covering the entire picture with that color, not just the object (even though the object is selected).  Gradient maps and layer masks don't seem to work.

Revit :: Transparent Filled Region Not Showing Up Transparent?

Nov 24, 2008

I have a solid gray filled region that is set to be transparent that is not being transparent. We are trying to put a gray tone over the existing area of the plan. what is weird is that I did the exact same thing to another view & it works perfectly with the region in the background & all the wals & doors showing up correctly. I can't figure out what is different between one view & another.

I've tried changing the filled region to be "moved to back" but nothing changes. if I override the graphics of the element & change it to be transparent the it goes away all together.

AutoCad :: Plotting From PDFs

Jun 16, 2008

I figure many of you do as I do, drawing things to plot blueprints. It just so happens that I'm often sent PDFs of drawings to plot, but for some reason I have trouble with them.

Suppose I have a standard drawing that is meant for a 24x36 Arch D sheet size. It will always plot 36" because it has to, that is the paper width of the roll. But for some reason, it will stop shy of 24" and cut the paper as much as 4 or 6 inches short, instead of printing the full 24".

The drawing inside the PDF is exactly right, the Adobe Acrobat Reader shows the drawing fine, it fits within the margins, it's not scaled, the sheet size is shown accurately. Based on the visuals and settings, all things are great. I've got the paper set to 36" roll, opaque bond, no scaling because I need it to print accurately.

However, when it prints, some of the drawing is cut off at the bottom and at the top, and instead of 24" it cuts the paper at 18 or 20". I don't get it. It shows 24" in the print wizard, the correct paper size is shown, the preview images looks great. All things check OK, and then it prints and cuts off the graphic and makes a short sheet.

I'm afraid to try scale to 100% or scale to sheet size, because the people who have to use this need to scale it on paper with a ruler and I can't have it stretching or shrinking the print.

What gives with Acrobat printing? Need to plot PDFs accurately? It would be one thing to simply cut the sheet where the graphic ends, but this is actually stopping shy of printing the graphic altogether and cutting the sheet early before it reaches 24".

Illustrator :: Differences Between AI And PS PDFs?

Apr 21, 2013

I produce documents in AI, and save them to pdf.  Then, in order to reduce the file size, I load then into PS, flatten image, then resave as pdf.  All are in CMYK.

There appears to be a big difference in the output pdfs from AI and PS. In the PS ones, blacks are very grey, and drop shadow effects become exaggerated.  I've attached some screen shots. I hope you can see the differences. The AI ones are on the left.  It is quite hard to see the differences here, but across a whole document it is very obvious.

What can I do to stop the PS pdfs turning out this way?

Illustrator :: PDFs Are Too Big To Email?

Jan 10, 2012

I email a lot of pdf's out of Illustrator and have a saved setting. I am basically using the smallest file size setting but with bleed and trim marks. Files normally come out about a MB or smaller. We recently upgraded to CS 5.5 just after All of a sudden for about the last 2 weeks when I save a pdf the files are 10 MB or bigger. I have tried just about everthing to reduce the file size and nothing is working. Why this would have happened and what I can do to fix it. I had to export the files as jpgs in order to make them small enough to email.
