Save As PDF - Size limitation in 27.9.1 compared to 27.8

  • August 5, 2026

Using Save As Photoshop PDF, I was able to save PDFs above 50,000 pixels wide yesterday using 27.8.


After updating to 27.9.1 this morning I could no longer save a Photoshop PDF above approximately

30,000 pixels wide  (Photoshop PDF was no longer an option in the dropdown).

 

After reverting back to 27.8 I can now save PDFs from files over 50,000 pixels wide again.

    Hi All

     

    Thank you for reporting this. Since it has been confirmed by multiple users that the issue is reproducible and only occurs in Photoshop 27.9.1 (while the same file works as expected in 27.8), this does appear to be a regression.

    To help us investigate, could you please share the following?

    • Your System Info (Help > System Info > Copy, then paste the details here).

    • A sample PSD/PSB file that reproduces the issue. If you can't share the original due to confidentiality, a simplified file that still exhibits the problem would be helpful.

    • A short screen recording showing the workflow in both versions (27.9.1 and 27.8, if possible), demonstrating that Photoshop PDF is available in 27.8 but missing from the Save As dialog in 27.9.1 for the same document.

    • If possible, could you also confirm the document dimensions (width × height in pixels), color mode, bit depth, and whether this occurs with every file over approximately 30,000 pixels wide or only with specific files?

     

    This information will help us with further investigation. Looking forward to your reply!

    This looks like a possible regression introduced in Photoshop 27.9.1, especially since the same file workflow works again after reverting to 27.8.

    A few details may help narrow this down:

    • What is the document size in pixels (width × height) and color mode?
    • Are you using the same PDF preset/settings in both versions?
    • Does the issue happen with a new test document as well, or only with existing large files?

    If it is reproducible consistently only in 27.9.1, I would recommend submitting it through Adobe’s bug report form with the sample file details and the exact steps to reproduce, so the Photoshop team can investigate.
