After updating to PS 25.6.0, the presets for saving PDFs are gone. Is this a known bug? How can I get them back?

Photoshop 25.6.0

Mac OS Ventura 13.6.5

You don't have to downgrade, simply go to the Creative Cloud desktop app and install Photoshop 2023 then copy the missing PDF folder as shown above. Ps 2023 is a separate install and it's how I fixed my missing presets problems.

 

It's always a good idea to keep an extra version handy for cases like these.

Because the folder with the default presets should be installed at the root level,  make sure you are looking for them in that Library folder and not the Library folder within your user account Home folder.

 

In other words, make sure you are looking in

/Library

 

and copying them into

~/Library

which is the same as

[username]/Library

 

Because there are reports that other apps are loading the default presets properly, that means that folder should be at that root location and so chances are it should not really be missing.

i can see the path, but there's no folder there with the name "adobe PDF" or "PDF" so what should i do in those 15 seconds smart guy? try some trick and create a folder that does not exist? because downgrade my photoshop version and copy the folder and update it again, that takes ages and no one pays me for that! I'm working, not solving adobe's problems. So if you have a proper solution like i said before your welcome to say it, if you trying making fun of others and act like a smart as* please don't bother!

The path has been posted, with instructions about what to copy where. It took me about 15 seconds to do this.

well none of this "solutions" have worked for me! it would be nicer from adobe to fix this with a new update asap, because i'm paying for something and it's not working, at least someone would post the file or folder that include that pdf preset so i can fix this wile adobe can't!!!!

Merci à tout le monde pour les conseils!

 

J'ai finalement résolu le problème en copiant les profils PDF d'InDesign (Resources - Adobe PDF - settings) dans les settings de Photoshop. Je n'ai fait qu'un test pour l'instant, mais ça a fonctionné.

I recently updated to Photoshop version 25.6, and it appears my PDF preset profiles have disappeared, leaving me with one profile. (please see screenshot) 
Is there a way to download these Presets again without going back a software update?

Any info is appreciated!

Give this a whirl! 

 

Go into photoshop
Edit>Adobe Presets

 

Click "Load"

 

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

 

Load the .joboptions file and save the preset

Bonjour,

J'essaie de sauvegarder une image en PDF presse, mais les profils de base n'apparaissent plus! Je n'ai que des profils paramétrés par moi-mêmes qui ont été gardés en mémoire. Comment puis-je les récupérer?

You can go to your Creative Cloud Desktop app and install 25.5.1, then copy the PDF folder to your Desktop, upgrade back to 25.6 and copy it back to the same directory. Remember to keep your settings when installing.
