When in Acrobat 7 (with latest patch) I try to insert a JPG made in Photoshop CS2, I only get a white box. This happens only with JPG’s converted (with Photoshop default settings) from PSD files which contain worked on images taken with my camera (Nikon Coolpix )and scanned images (Canon). Other JPG’s don’t seem to have this problem. The JPG’s straight from the camera/scanner (not worked on or converted to PSD) don’t have this problem, they can be inserted as is. Inserting a JPG made in Photoshop CS or any other application, no problem, that works fine too.
The other way round, when I make a PDF from within Photoshop CS2 with JPGs made in CS2, that works fine.
Only when I save JPG’s in Photoshop CS2 for web, I can insert them as a page in an Acrobat PDF file.
This odd behavior might have to do with metadata in my PSD file, maybe metadata about the camera/scanner. Anyone any idea? For example how to get rid of these possibly disturbing metadata?

The fact that other images, including Save For Web work, make me think it may be related to the color profile in the image, or another parameter that SFW strips off prior to saving. Color profile is the first place I’d look, unless others are able to reproduce it.

I would want to know that both, and sRBG profile and say, Adobe RGB 1998 both produced the same result in Acrobat before I looked elsewhere.

Just my two cents.

Peace,

Thanks Tony! I have been playing around with that and amongst others assigned Adobe RGB 1998 colorprofile to the PSD before saving. That makes no difference. Standard my color settings are synchronized to Europe General Purpose 2 which has sRGB IEC61966-2.1
But it must be something in *my* settings, because I found nothing about it in the forums. For sure there should be more crying out loud if this is a general problem, because it is greatly impeding the workflow.

I’m also getting this exact problem! I’m using default settings (fresh install) for both Photoshop and Acrobat. I upgraded to Acrobat
7.03 and it didn’t fix the problem.

It’s easy for anyone to reproduce the problem:

1. In Photshop CS2, "New…" file
2. Draw anything (simley face, whatever)
3. Save as JPG
4. In Adobe Acrobat 7.03 (or earlier version), "Create PDF From File…" and select the JPG file you just created
5. You get a white screen

It could be a problem with either Photoshop CS2 or Acrobat 7. I suspect Photoshop CS2 is culprit because Acrobat 7 imports other JPGs without problems.

One possible workaround is to use Photoshpo CS2 "Save for Web…" instead of "Save As" to save JPGs. Unfortunately, using "Save for Web" takes 10 times as long.

Searched google and found no answers to this.
