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.

Same problem here. Already sent an email to Chris, hope it gets fixed soon. For me the problem exists with every image, not only the ones tilted

We're not having an easy time on this one -- it has to do with the way InDesign wrote the PDF files with tiled images. Even in previous versions of Photoshop, it would have artifacts at some resolutions.

Your best solution is probably to resave the files from InDesign without the tiled images.

Yes we have many files we could send. These are for over-sized prints (33"x80" and larger). The lines show up very faintly on screen , but are very noticeable in the print. Where could i send an example?

The example here only happens at screen resolution. If you have examples that occur at print resolution - we need to get the files and deliver then to the PDF rasterizer team.
