Hi everyone!
We created a large tradeshow banner for a client in InDesign. The dimensions are 108" X 12". I exported the file as a PDF. When I open the file in Acrobat, it opens beautifully. However, if I try to open the file in PS, it almost crashes the program. When the file finally opens (about 2 minutes later), if I want to save as, it only gives me the option to save as .stn (GF PrintPro trial), .raw, or .tiff.
A few observations…
– I flatten the file before trying Save As
– If I open the file in PS at 150 DPI instead of 300 DPI, it will open fine and let me save it as anything I want.
– Opening the file in RGB or CMYK makes no difference. It still won’t work.
– Even though the file’s dimensions are 108" wide, PS insists on opening it at 106.66" wide.
– I checked and double-checked the InDesign file to make sure there was nothing weird in it.
– I checked and double-checked my PDF export settings to make sure there was nothing weird in them too.
Is there a problem with PS handling large files? I know that files wider than 30,000 pixels are not compatible with older versions of PS. Nonetheless, I’m on CS. I shouldn’t have a problem…
I posted the PDF file on our FTP site in case you guys want to give it a try opening it. Go to ftp.josebatalla.com/pdf. The file is 7megs and its called relay_header_banner_108X12_v1.pdf.
Thanks in advance for your help.
