Unwanted bold font

Hi,

I have trouble exporting files from psd to pdf in photoshop, it gives me partially random bold font in one of the text layers.

When zoomed in above 300% it seems ok. I have checked it on several pdf viewer and the problem is still visible.

I have tweak all the saving option in photoshop and still have the problem no matter what I do.

The only way I found is to go around the problem saving the text layer as an object wich is not a solution as I want the text to be in the pdf as text able to select.

I have looked all over the internet and apparently nobody has found a proper fix to that.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I see that 5 years later, this has still not been resolved by Adobe. Still having the same issue in Photoshop 2021/2022

HI Devop,

How are you creating the PDFs? The best way is to go to File (menu) -> Save as... and select "Photoshop PDF."

Otherwise I'm also curious for your answer to Test Screen Name.

Thanks,

Is it the characters that are pure rectangles (lower case l and capital I in sans serif font)? Or others too?

Hi and thanks for your fast replies,

It can be any character. Actually it is often an word. When I delete the word in the sentence and save as pdf, other words are then appearing bold.

I use "save as" and "photoshop PDF" from the file menu.

Thanks for your help
