P: PDF import show edge artifacts on tiled PDF images (bug in PDF creation)

When importing a PDF with images, Photoshop CS6 adds faint outlines to the PDF image segments in the file. Prior versions of Photoshop render the PDF correctly. See the attached image for an example.

Thanks Pierre - at least someone knows what they're talking about.
Downgrade, here we come. No need for PS CC then.

I have given you correct information.

The images are tiled by the application that created them, and because of that tiling they cannot be rendered correctly at resolutions less than their original resolution.

And opening the tiles at their original resolution has no bearing on this problem.

Yes, Photoshop CC has the same problem. Please Chris, do not more involve in this discussion until you can give correct informations, you didn't get the problem at all.

The following very simple test proves that the artifacts definitely are not part of the pictures inside the generated pdf: Simply import the PDF in Photoshop and select "Pictures". In this case the ORIGINAL tiled pictures are opened in Photoshop without any rendering process. Then you can put the tiles together by hand, simply drag and drop them into an empty file. Zoom in, and - what a wonder! No artifacts on the edges. Works with every version up to CC. Chris, you are not knowing what you talking about.

Again, the problem is not in Photoshop, the problem is in the applications that created the PDF with sliced images.

Does anyone know if Photoshop CC has the same problem?
Hate to work with CS5 forever.

... and THIS will not help us with the problem that we have with the already produced pdf's from our clients that we have to open. But i see it clear now: NO HELP FOR US FROM THE ADOBE-TEAM. Just talk talk talk ....
Very disappointing!

Never.
Because no one will "fix" InDesign CS4 or CS5...

I keep saying that we're working on it - but since the fix has to come from groups outside of Photoshop, I don't know when it will be solved.

Chris please tell us the truth:
WILL THERE BE A SOLUTION FOR US? Is someone working on this problem?

And please stop repeating that the error accoured also in earlier versions. It may happen in some resolutions and under some rare circumstances, BUT i work now for over 20 years with Photoshop and i NEVER had this problem rasterizing PDF's. OK? Ask everyone in this thread and they will tell you the same.

JUST NOW WITH THE NEW VERSION, so PLEASE PLEASE stop deflecting. Thank you!
