P: Saving Adobe pdf presets missing in photoshop

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

I'm still having this issue. The PDF presets dropdown is completely greyed out.

Adobe has released Photoshop 25.7, which contains a fix for this issue. Please install the update from your Creative Cloud App. 

 

If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by hitting [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[ R ].

If you continue to see the problem after updating Photoshop, please respond in this thread. 

Thank you for your patience.

@CorneliusHelius thanks!  this worked for me: 

Go into photoshop:

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

Yes, this was my situation =/ I needed to install the previous version, copy the PDF, and then update it to the latest version. Very annoying.

This was the easiest way and it worked!

 

I copy and pasted Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings into spotlight. After clicking load in Photoshop, I dragged the file over from my finder window. 

 

I had to load them one at a time, but no biggie. Thank you!

Hi all, I have Adobe Photoshop 2024 25.6.0 release. Adobe PDF Presets is grayed out and I cannot save a file in "High Quality Print". Attached is a screenshot to show how it looks like. For now, I downloaded PS 2023 back to my computer so I've been using it but I would like to move back to 2024 as it has some features that I am missing on PS 2023 (E.g. Generative fill).

 

What would you advice?

I updated a second Macbook to Ps 25.6 while keeping an eye on its' root level folder. I saw the PDF folder removed and not replaced during that update. May not be happening to everyone, but in my case yes.
