P: PDF import show edge artifacts on tiled PDF images (bug in PDF creation)

When importing a PDF with images, Photoshop CS6 adds faint outlines to the PDF image segments in the file. Prior versions of Photoshop render the PDF correctly. See the attached image for an example.

No, I don't think there is an easy solution. The files are written in a way that cannot easily be rasterized without artifacts. Again, you still got artifacts in CS5 and earlier.

Cris, u tell us that the PDF is not written properly. We understand this now.
But please tell us also if it would be a great thing to just create a droplet or little app that just has the function to rasterize the pdf using the CS4 render engine for example. U think it could be done easily? So we could use this little programm to rasterize this bad PDF files.

"except at high resolution"
Saying so you mean this behavior?
-----
When i rasterize the file with 3000dpi and reduce it than to 300dpi the lines are still there but not so strong. Maybee rasterizing the pdf at even higher resolution makes the lines dissapear in some cases.

This is what i do in the moment to be able to continue working. In 70% of the cases this is working, but not for all...

Resaving the files is the only current workaround -- the files as-is cannot be rasterized without artifacts except at high resolution.

Photoshop is working just fine. You have bad files, written by other software packages.

But its still a BUG in a ADOBE app, or? And you are telling us over a year now, that the "OTHERS" ignore you and ignore your team and finally ingnore also US. NICE COMPANY, isn't it?
If i would do so with my customers i shurely would be out-of-work... 😞

THIS TIME I AM THE ONE TELLING U TO READ ALL THE POSTS:
WE CAN NOT RESAVE THE PDF's because we receive them from our clients. With the PDF's that we produce, we can do this, but with all the others we can't- ok?

Of course we want our money back then, because we can not work with the product you sell.

... so why you dont tell us finally that we should shut up, not bother you anymore and live with the problem of not beeing able to open any pdf's from our customers with the "error" inside?
I know that there will be no help for us. Just say it and we stop loosing your and our time.
