PDF files rasterized in Photoshop will distort if the horizontal or vertical edge is 32,000+ px.

It appears that later versions of Photoshop restrict the rasterization to 32,000 px on the longest edge.

Hi @peter blik What "Crop To" settings are you choosing when you open the PDF?

Each has a different dimension depending on which one you choose:

You have a 3,753 mm x 400mm vector file, weighing in at half a megabyte in file size.

Now you wish to rasterize it in Photoshop at the same physical size.

EDIT:

I have already explained that Photoshop has a 32,000 pixel limit of the longest edge when rasterizing a PDF. If 32,000 pixels is less than what you require at 3,753 mm x 400mm in size, then you are going to have to interpolate to a larger supported pixel resolution.
