Reply To: Small Photoshop files. Large InDesign files!

I’d save as PDF from Photoshop, with PSDs and Tiffs – vector shapes, vector masks and text is rasterised to the native resolution of the photoshop file when placed in InDesign. It’s fine for outputting directly from Photoshop, but once placed and made a PDF of from InDesign the text is rasterised (or any other program).

You can save a Photoshop PDF with all the layers in tact that is editable in Photoshop again.

All I can think of is that there was some level of corruption building up in the files and copying to a new file removed that build up of corrupt data.

I’ve had it before with InDesign files themselves, but I don’t generally make 16pp booklets with Photoshop – ever.
