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

when this will be fixed ?

So,

finally the topic died a painfull death.
I don't like monopolies at all - did I mention this already?
I can't find the words to express my feelings anymore.
It's a shame for you, Adobe. A shame!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is that the Photoshop team recognizes the problem and wants to see it solved. Unfortunately we can't set the priorities for all the other teams who need to fix this issue.

They appear in prints - and this is the frightening and at least expensive side of this Case. The question again, Chris: can you give us something after these frightening and expensive two years? Not even hope?

They do appear in some printed files - but it depends on the resolution of the print. Since the PDF file is designed for print output, the image is usually near print resolution, and it prints at or above the image resolution and that minimizes the artifacts. However, some of our print paths also have hacks to detect this sort of tiling and try to fix it up. But I can't convince the rasterization folks to even talk about that yet.

Chris, has any thought been given to the fact that while they cannot supposedly be rasterized at any resolution without the artefacts appearing, these atomic regions, I hope I'm right in thinking, *never* appear in printed files. So why is it possible for a PDF that is tiled in this way to be printed perfectly, but it is impossible to be rasterized perfectly? Can you see how that doesn't add up? Perhaps the rasterizing team should have a talk to the printing team, see if they can point them in the right direction?

It's the PDF output side of things that chops images into tiles, but in a way that they cannot be rasterized at other resolutions without artifacts. The rasterization just changed in a way that made the artifacts show up differently. Even older Photoshop versions will show the same artifacts, just at slightly different points. (once you know what to look for, it's easy to reproduce with all versions of Photoshop that rasterize PDF)

Hi to all thread participants,

I didn't post anything in here for quite a while now - but I didn't stop following the (few) comments. Maybe this is the reason, that Adobe seems to do not very much to find a solution.
Chris - if your word (an the word of your colleagues in the photoshop division) isn't enough to instigate something: maybe a little petition can help to kick your chiefs butt.
Right now I only see lots of unsattisfied customers with a big, BIG problem. You can't just only earn money with your software, you have to do something in return for the (in my case regularly) paying folk (in addition to all the new - for me partly useless - functions).
If we (who use your software to make a living) would treat our customers this way - we probably would starve to death.
If you could give us updates (in case you work on this problem, at all) on a regular basis - this would at least show, that Adobe cares about its customers.

(Meanwhile not anymore) kind regards ,

Markus

if I have understood correctly, the error in the PDF engine, has been around for many years. there must be millions of faulty PDFs. probably even billions.
the old photoshop render engine can generate useable results from these PDFs. the new one not.

may be the newer render engine is better than the old one. but with many PDFs it is simply useless .

for us, the only workaround is to use an old photoshop version. 😞
