Opening a PDF in Photoshop and file gets distorted

Photoshop has a pixel limit of 300k, not 30k.

@BrettN – thanks for joining the discussion.

Yes, however, I was basing my comments on where this issue was previously reported when rasterizing a PDF file and it was determined that anything over 30K 32K pixels in width or height resulted in distortion.

I'll see if I can find the old topics where this came up.

Rasterizing a PDF at a width or height that is greater than 30K and placing a PDF into an open file larger than 30K on the width or height may invoke different processing. Or perhaps this is just something that was fixed in later versions and is just a coincidence that 30K and 300K pixel dimensions were historically important in Photoshop.

I wish two things, well, three really. If there is a 30,000 px limit Photoshop should either (1) not open the file or (2) provide a warning that distortion will occur. (3) not have a limit on opening files sizes because Photoshop allows creation of new file bigger than 30,000.
