From my understanding, since data sets require a variable layer change, you can't save as JPG because PS looks o save the layered file. So, generally what people do with data sets is save as PSDs and then batch convert them to a different format as needed - like what you're doing. It has the advantage of having the editable source file if required for tweaking. It does add extra inconvenience for situations where you don't need the PSD and have large files as in your case. ...

Adding to what Dave said, here is how you can add a stroke to your path, This is essentially adding a colour to the path outline which could be with a pencil or brush at a chosen thickness. In the Paths tab, select your path. Click on the icon in the top right corner of the panel (the 3 horizontal rows) to get the popup menu. Select Stroke Path... You can then choose Pencil or Brush (or other tools). This will add an outline based on the current thickness of that tool and the foreground colour. To colour in - this could be done in multiple ways. I'd suggest you add the colours in a separate layer. You could use the paintbrush to paint the colours in the areas you want. You could use the outline layer or even the path to create selections to fill or delete areas. As a beginner, it is worth looking at the different ways you can select parts of an image. Here is a page that covers various selection options in Photoshop. Photoshop Elements Help | Use tools to make selections ... View more

Often finding a solution is a bit of trial and error in testing what's the cause of the problem. Try export just a small part of the sequence to see if it works. If it doesn't, try create a new project with the same video clip and do similar edits at a small scale and see if that works. If it doesn't work, try with a different video clip. This is testing if it is the video that is causing problems in Premiere. ... View more

Hi, One other way to ensure you have the text displaying correctly is to rasterize the layer = converting the text into a pixel-based image layer. Of course, you won't be able to edit the text. It may still be good enough for printing depending on the resolution of the image. To help locate the cause of your problem, I would test in a new PSD. Add some text with different fonts to a new PSD and then export to PDF. - Is it just the one font that does not display properly? - Does it display properly on the computer with the font but not on another? ...
