Saving PDF from photoshop, part text is white

[juliel72091379]

I use Photoshop 2020 v.21.2.3

When I save as PDF (High Quality Print)

It should look like this...

But it saves like this...

Any advice?

Thank you

What version of PDF are you saving as?

[juliel72091379]

Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4)

[Bob_Hallam]

Try saving at a higher level PDF such as 1.7 or 1.7+ also remove the fast web preview if this is for print work and that should solve the problem.  

[juliel72091379]

Thank you for your help, but unfortunately, it didn't work, I have tried all levels, turned off web preview and it is still doing the same? 

[juliel72091379]

I have done it, although the only way was to flatten the image before saving as PDF.    Maybe a memory issue?

Hi

What "modifications" have you made to the [High Quality Print] preset?

Any update to this?  Currently encountering this

Update: I converted the problem text to shape and it worked.

Exact same issue here. Running latest Photoshop (v23.1), trying to export my images to PDF, and encountering that a few latters are partly white.

I tried playing around with many pdf export settings, without luck.

I need the font layers to be persisted, of course when flattening the image the problem is gone, but that cannot be the solution.

Did you convert to shape?

[soerenj64494347]

No, but that's the point: I don't want to convert to shape, as I need/want to embed the fonts in my resulting pdf so they are displayed as (vectorized) fonts, not as pixels.

Of course, that would be a workaround, but it cannot be the solution.

I was in the same situation and found a way to resolve it, although it is a bit trickier. You will need an InDesign for this, but to save the pdf and preserve the type capabilities you need to:
- Save your file as PSD
- Create a new document in InDesign and place the PSD into it
- Export as PDF
Hope this works for you!

But will that not result in the text being output as a pixel image?

I saw a thread on this not long ago in the Acrobat forum. It's a bug with Photoshop PDFs and the last line, as I recall. Some users solved it by using Shift+Return (soft return) for the last line instead of Return (hard return). Can you try that?

Try to to save as pft after makeing the text layer rasterzis

[c.pfaffenbichler]

I would prefer Type > Convert to Shape in order to maintain vector output in a pdf.

I converted to test to a smart object and it worked.

Again: But will that not result in the text being output as a pixel image? 

Have you tried converting (a duplicate of the Type Layer) to a Shape Layer?
