P: Saving Adobe pdf presets missing in photoshop

Copy the "Adobe PDF" folder. Its not part of the Photoshop settings.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings

If anyone else runs into this and doesn't have the 2023 files still installed, I was able to fix by going to Creative Cloud and choosing "Other Versions" from the Photoshop dropdown and installing v. 25.0. Hope Adobe fixes this asap tho.

I don;t have them either and I don't have the 2023 file to copy them from... what do I do?

This solved the issue here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/can-t-save-the-pdf-like-high-quality-print-anymore/td-p/14509886

Short answer:  The PDF folder is missing in 2024. So I just went to the root Library folder and copied it using Option + drag on my trackpad from 2023 to 2024 and my Photoshop PDF presets are back. Exact location is on the bottom of the screenshot.

Hello, after the latest PS update, I can't save the PDF like high-quality print anymore. There used to be a preset option but is gone. Any way I can activate it?

Copy the presets from the /Library folder to ~/Library and they show up.

Visit the Adobe Photoshop Help Center (https://helpx.adobe.com/support/photoshop.html) to check for missing PDF presets in this upgrade.

I’m seeing this too, on Photoshop 25.6.0 and macOS Ventura 13.6.5.

I checked Adobe InDesign and Adobe Illustrator, and they list all presets.

So:

InDesign and Illustrator display built-in and user-created PDF presets.

Photoshop displays user-created PDF presets only, the built-in PDF presets are missing.

If you see no PDF presets in Photoshop, that probably means you haven’t created your own since those do show up.

No idea how to fix this yet. It looks like Photoshop is able to see PDF presets in the user Library folder but not in the macOS root level Library folder. Sometimes that suggests a permissions problem so I checked the settings for macOS Full Disk Access permissions. But that is enabled for Photoshop, so those permissions do not appear to be the problem, at least for me.

Yes i see this on macOS Sonoma 14.4 with Photoshop 2024 (ps ver 25.6)

On Windows 10 with Photoshop 2024 (ps ver 25.6) the PDF Presets are still there.

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
