Hello. I'm trying to create a PDF from mulitple image files in Photoshop via Automate. I've done this before and it has worked. Now when I do it, I'm getting the error messages

Unable to include 1 file(s) because they are not image files, are too large, or are PDF files not created by Photoshop.

Cannot create a PDF Presentation with no images. (But there are images)

PDF Presentation was cancelled.

Thanks in advance! I have no idea what to do and see nothing on the web for this issue.

What type of files are you using? If you do have large psd files, it's best to move all the files you want to use into another folder, and flatten them, and maybe size them down, so PS doesn't freeze. I had to do that with a PDF presentation that I was making.

I was searching for a solution for the same problem, I found that this option called "Compatibility" can be the solution if you choose a more recent version like Acrobat 9/10 (PDF 1.7+)

Hope it can be helpful to others.

Frankly, I would just select all the files, run them through Image Processor to cut the size down and flatten them into a new folder, then make the pdf. It's another step, but pretty easy.

Ah. I've created huge files somehow. I'm self taught whichI should really rectify. I think when I created my template, I may have inadvertently made selections (like 32-bit) in which each background is about 70 MB. My actual images which I am placing on the background are only about 3-4 MB. I'm doing this for a self published book written by my mother. Do you have a recommendation on changing the file settings so that the files are smaller but will still print ok?

I found where to change it to 16-bit but honestly, I'm not even really sure what this means. It did reduce the file size by about 30 MB.
