Editing images in Acrobat

[LoneGoose]

Sometimes when editing an image in a PDF file (from Acrobat; ctrl-click 'edit image'), after closing Photoshop, the image inexplicably drops to the bottom left of the PDF page. Does anyone know the reason for this or how to fix it?

Thanks!

What version of Acrobat and what os?

[Joe]

I believe this was fixed in CS2 Photoshop. Something like 9.0.2. Make sure Photoshop is at least this version.

I've got 9.0.2; OSX and also Leopard; Acrobat 7. Will try to replicate and maybe upload a PDF tomorrow. Will double check versions at work and report back - thanks for the responses so far!

I find image touch up can be a bit tricky, if you don't flatten and save you sometimes loose the edits.
Also try opening the PDF in PS showing options, this letts you choose to edit pages (converting page to PDF) or edit images (embedded in the PDF)

Huh? How do you do that?

Acrobat 7 is not supported on Leopard. You need at least Acrobat 8.1...

IN CS3 just check the images.
The file cannot be locked.

In CS2 you can open too but it looks different,
…but it will not save the file back into the PDF.

you can however place the edited file in acrobat by using the image touch up and right-clicking to get the place command.
Sorry for raising your hopes
(doubt if it will work in CS4, but there may be a reason why)

Hi Lukas

I used to get burned on this one a lot, too. I've found that it takes a few seconds for the replacement "script" to run when using image touch up. For very large images it can take a while for Photoshop to finish it's work, so save your file in Photoshop, then don't click on anything for a few seconds before going back to the Acrobat file. If you let the script finish it's replacement before clicking it will work 100% (well 99%) of the time. Usually I've got the Acrobat window I'm editing open behind Photoshop and wait until I can see the image change before continuing.

In CS3 I can't get Photoshop to save the image back into the PDF. If I just select "Save" it brings up the "Save As" dialog box. Why would I want to do it this way as opposed to opening the image via Acrobat's "Edit Image"?
