Editng PDF in PS CS4?
in [Photoshop]
|
From: Mike Cook on 2 Jul 2010 23:17 I have a grayscale scan in PDF format that needs a bit of adjustment to the contrast & brightness. I open the PDF in PS and see that it treats each page as a separate file. When I go to save the file, I see I have to do 100 separate saves. Is there a way to save the file in its entirety (other than Print > Save As PDF). I mean, I'd like to save the entire file as I edit it to protect against power outages, etc. Also, I want to make the same brightness and contrast changes (identical values) to all the pages. How can I automate this such that I can do it once for the whole file (or at least make a simple key press automation for each page)? Thanks.

I have a programme named 'PDF-XChange Version 4' and make forms for my office on it. Reading your question, I tried it and I can play with it and edit it which ever way I want to, using PS (CS5). If I understand you right, you would like to know how to safe in PDF? http://download.cnet.com/Foxit-Reader/3000-10743_4-10313206.html

Hi Mike, You can do this in adobe acrobat pro, note my words its acrobat pro not reader. Open your pdf in acrobat pro, goto preference and make it edit in photoshop and click ok. Then click on the page and select edit, your file will automatically be opened in photoshop. Make your action in photoshop lasting with save and close (remember when creating save in action don't select the name). The file will be automatically replaced in pdf. You can't create a batch for this process as you have to use two different softwares. For each page you have to right click and edit it. Thats the best process you can do.
