Placing Photshop PDF 1

[midge0777]

Hi,

I'm placing photoshop PDF files, which have layers in it as well.

Sometimes when files comes into InDesign ithey view ok, other times the files will not view in InDesign. They look all zig zaggy. (not low-res)

I have the preferences in the display performance set to High Quality.

Does anyone have any sugestions in what to do? Or has heard of this before

I'm guessing that it has something to do with the quality of the pdf since some are ok and others are not. You might try running a print of a doc with the bad looking pdf to see if it prints ok.

You also might try using a different format like psd or tiff and see how they look. If you're making the pdf's check your quality settings. If you're running a straight Save As from PS, make sure the quality is set to highest.

If you have text in the PS images, you might make sure that Include vector data is checked in the pdf save window and that you either embed the font of use outlines. I prefer outlines.

Unless there's some special reason, you're usually better off placing either a psd or tiff in the ID doc. There's no loss of quality and the image remains fully editable. Then you cna make a pdf of the whole ID document.
