I tried on two different machines os windows 7 it in acrobat 8, 9.51, 10.1 versions, also pdf document version from 1.3 to 1.7.
Problem: when choose "Edit object" tool, choose image>right click>Edit image. Image opening in photoshop CS6, after any editing for example change color model, saving and closing, in acrobat position of image changes, often to bottom and left corner of document.
If do such actions in Photoshop CS5, everything is ok, position of object after editing is constant
Thanks in advance and good luck

Fixed in CS6 (13.0.1) or later.

Updated and tested today. Works great on files that previously failed. Excellent work!

Yeah, Acrobat added some new metadata that they wanted preserved, but, um, they missed.
Once we found out what they were missing, we added code to preserve their new metadata.

tried the new update 13.0.1. It seems that everything works as it should. I express my deep gratitude.

I am also experiencing this problem on our Mac and Windows machines.

Today it caused a reprint of an entire job. One of our operators used the Edit Image option of the Edit Object tool to change a QR code to black only and when she saved the image it moved more than 1/8" in the PDF. She didn't notice and it printed that way! My company lost money and the boss is pissed.

Now I know that we cannot use this useful tool until a fix is released.

When using Photoshop CS6 as the TouchUp image editor for Acrobat 9 or X on Mac OS 10.6.8 images are frequently blowing outside of their masking paths and moving from or losing their original positions and/or size ratios and/or rotations in the PDF file when saved back into the PDF after editing.

I have tested these same PDF files using Photoshop CS5 as the touch up editor instead of CS6 and this is not occurring so something is definitely not working right. I also tested using Acrobat 9 instead of X and CS6 produced the same errors.

Edited images should keep the same position, rotation, and size ratio, and they should remain masked by associated path objects within the PDF file when the image is saved.

I wish I could go ahead and make the switch to Photoshop CS6 as my Acrobat TouchUp editor, but until this is fixed that workflow will be hopelessly broken.

I am ecstatic to find that I am not the only one experiencing this problematic issue with using Photoshop CS6 as Acrobat's TouchUp editor.

Last week I had searched for but did not find this problem posted, so I posted the problem myself here .

Since this is clearly already a known issue I would like to delete my post from last week, but I am having trouble doing that for some reason. Can an admin delete or merge for me? ...thanks.

Thanks. We have and bug logged internally and the team's working on this with the Acrobat folks.

That's just another symptom of some placement/transform metadata getting lost. Same problem, different spot.
