Page Cropped in Acrobat Appears Unedited in Photoshop

[AHB-RAF1918]

I've recently found the useful 'Edit Image Using > Photoshop" shortcut of editing pages from Acrobat in Photoshop. There is, however, an annoying bug in that when a page that has been cropped in Acrobat is opened in Photoshop for editing, the original, uncropped, image appears.

This is particularly annoying when the person scanning the original document has place 2 images on the glass and cropped them to make 2 seperate pages in Acrobat as Photoshop will show 2 pages with the same 2 images to ensure that they are correct. If 3, 4 or more pages are scanned simultaneously and then cropped, I have to edit number of pages in Photoshop, thus increasing time spent editing the file.

Is this a known bug, or is the fix something as simple as only scanning one page at a time on the scanner?

I'm using Windows 11, Photoshop 27.1.0 and Acrobat 25.001.20997.

Many thanks,

Lee

Acrobat's cropping is non-destructive and is simply redefining the PDF's crop box. Apparently, Photoshop used the media box when opening through the "Edit with..." option. If you open the PDF through the open menu, you should get the option as to what box Photoshop should use.

Thanks for the info, we now have our way forward!

This looks like a workflow issue between Acrobat and Photoshop rather than user error. It seems Photoshop is opening the original scan instead of respecting the crop made in Acrobat. Some users avoid this by rescanning single pages or exporting pages as images before editing. Another option is flattening or re saving the page after cropping in Acrobat. Hopefully Adobe addresses this behavior in future updates.

Did you read my post? Cropping in Acrobat is non-destructive. One can remove hidden data but that will not change the page size.
