I am having an issue with Photoshop where the project shows in different colors than the project in save for web preview and explorer. I like the color of it in browser but I want Photoshop to show the same!
I have looked everywhere and tried to do it how they say but there is still no fix.
EDIT:
The color on the project border is #272425 As you can see here, Photoshop is not showing it correctly..
http://www.color-hex.com/color/272425
EDIT 2:
I was messing with the "Save for web" and changed Preview to "Legacy Macintosh(No Color Management) and the preview matched the project in the canvas. Here is a screenshot of it.
i had the same issue, try this :
open a new file and check the color mode at the beginning. then open up your file again!
When you save a file it gives you various colour management profiles depending on your set up (or needs). If you save without any colour management profile then the colours will be true
May be you are using CMYK color mode. try to change it. go to image then mode and click RGB color. RGB use for displaying purpose while CMYK Mode use for Printing purpose. Since this is web site item design, select RGB Color mode.
The export for web uses sRGB. You use US Web Coated. Change your document to RGB mode and sRGB profile.
The sRGB color is the smallest RGB color space.
You typically always work in the smallest space, even if your screen allows a wider RGB.

Microsoft recently added SVG support to Word 2016. But when trying to save a document containing a SVG vector graphic as PDF the graphic will be converted to a raster image.
I tried to change the Image Size and Quality Options (-> "do not compress images in file" and "high fidelity") but this had no effect whats-o-ever.
My second approach was to use the "Microsoft Print to PDF"-printer but this didn't preserve the graphics either.
Is there a way to preserve the scalability of my graphics when saving to document as pdf? Is there somewhere an option in the settings that I haven't discovered yet?
If this is only a SVG issue: Which other vector graphics format will work better?
In response to your final question:
"If this is only a SVG issue: Which other vector graphics format will work better?"
For years the only vector format that Word supported was Microsoft's proprietary .emf file format. If you encounter further issues, you can always try converting your .svg to .emf. Inkscape can export as .emf, and in my experience it's a much more accurate conversion than Adobe Illustrator.
Incidentally, the workaround that Andrew posted above works by converting your clipboard data into an .emf file. However there are a few times when exporting from Inkscape directly would be preferable, for instance when you want to preserve a buffer of blank space around your graphic (using the clipboard will not select blank space).
Microsoft seems to have improved SVG support in Word. SVG vector graphics are now perfectly preserved when saving the document as PDF.
(I'm using Office version 1806)
I have Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.16.13 installed, which gives me a Save as PDF file option in Word 2016 that does put the SVG graphic into the PDF file as a vector graphic.
I user Insert|Picture to get the SVG graphic files into word.
A 70K SVG file, for example, slows down the editing in Word significantly, so I put placeholder JPG or PNG graphics in the Word file until the final draft, then I replace them with SVG files as the last step before saving as PDF.
Ran into this issue today also. SVG seems to be broken in Word. One way I have found to preserve the scalability of graphics in PDF output from Word is:
Open the SVG in Inkscape
Select all and Copy to Clipboard
Using Paste Special in Word (Alt+E,S) paste it into the document as a "Picture (Enhanced Metafile)"
I believe this also works in previous versions of Word at least as far back as 2013 and 2010.
I just solved the problem by doing export directly from OneDrive online. Probably it happens because online word version is html-based and it has better treatment for svg.
I solved this yesterday and hope the answer works for you.
The graphic was cropped at first in your Word (my version is 2019)? In my case, if I insert the SVG graphics without cropping, the SVG graphic works well in PDF. While if the SVG graphic was cropped before converting to the PDF, it will collapse. It has nothing to do with the resolution.
Besides, my SVG graphics were generated by Python. If you need to crop the images to adjust the size, "Inksacpe" software is a good choice.

I am writing a user manual in Word that will be published to PDF for distribution to our customers. This document makes extensive use of cross-referencing by way of hyperlinks to bookmarks within the document – which generally works very well. Because this is quite a lengthy document, I have placed a link back to the top of the first 'contents' page in the footer section – with the page number printed on the same line at the opposite side of the footer.
However, I cannot get this link to work in the published PDF document. It looks blue and underlined like a normal hyperlink, but unlike the links in the body of the document, the cursor doesn't become a hyperlink pointer when I hover over it, and clicking on it has no effect.
Any advice on what I can do to solve this problem or work around it, please?
Okay, I've found a solution to this myself. I may as well share it here for anyone else who might come along later with a similar problem:
The trick is to insert a transparent picture, about the same width and height as the word you want to be hyperlinked. I've included one here that's suitable for the word 'Contents' in the font Tahoma 12pt. The size isn't really that important, though, as you can use Word's picture grip handles to resize it to your liking if necessary.
Obviously, it's all transparency so it's invisible, but right-click to the left of the white space above this text and you'll see it is indeed an image that can be saved.
Once you've saved the image, do the following:
Edit the footer and type in the text you want to link, formatting it in the 'Hyperlink' style if so desired.
Insert the picture into the footer – being careful not to click outside the picture until you're finished, as it's really difficult to select again if it gets deselected.
Right-click on it and set its text wrapping property to 'Behind Text'.
Right-click on it again and set its hyperlink property to point to the location you want.
Use the grip handles to position and size the picture so that it exactly covers the same area as your text.
Close the Header & Footer editing tool.
One last thing: unlike the other links to bookmarks in the finished PDF document, for some reason this one displayed a tooltip detailing the link location. The only way I could find to get rid of this was to go to "Office button | Word Options | Proofing | AutoCorrect Options… | AutoFormat" and uncheck the option "Internet and network paths with hyperlinks" under the "Replace" header.
Insert as a Cross-Reference in to the footer (not a hyperlink).
Use
References>Cross-reference
Then Select:
Reference Type 'Heading'
I struggled with this for nearly an hour, then inserted the Cross reference to the 'Heading' that I had created for Table of Contents. Create the PDF (don't print) and bingo.
I have also faced this situation, read all suggestions here, but did not find helpful.
I tried myself and solved my problem. Simple, do not make pdf through MS Word, just go to online pdf making sites and convert your doc to pdf.

Recently when I open a file into photoshop to compress it, the file says the file size is much bigger then the actual size shown in file properties. So after compression it is bigger than it started!
For example I have 88kb jpeg that opens in Photoshop as 1.17 MB. Save for web brings the size to 105kb!
Are there settings etc that is causing this? How can I have Photoshop open the file to reflect the size given in file properties?
Are you sure that the 1.17Mb info is not the uncompressed data size (what dimensions is you jpeg)?
For the 105Kb output you have settings (compression level, progressive etc..) you can adjust. You may also want to strip IPTC and XMP data if any
Edit about resolution :
The resolution info (DPI dot per pixel or any other unit) is an indication on the print size. It only says how much pixel of the image it will take to make a printable inch. It s only an information stored in the image header (2 in fact horizontal and vertical resolutions).
The misunderstandaing about resolution is caused by PS using this info for resize operation.
Want to do with that?. while the image is the same no matter. checks the pixels, width and height are the same as the original.

Is it possible to embed animated GIFs in PDFs? And how might I go about such a thing? are there any dangers I should be aware of?
For some more details on why I think it's a good thing and how it helps feel free to see this post. I didn't think it was appropriately well-formed enough for SE.
As an example - I'd like to put this into a description of quicksort:
(This animation is from wikimedia.)
I haven't tested it but apparently you can add quicktime animations to a pdf (no idea why). So the solution would be to export the animated gif to quicktime and add it to the pdf.
Here the solution that apparently works:
Open the GIF in Quicktime and save as MOV (Apparently it works with other formats too, you'll have to try it out).
Insert the MOV into the PDF (with Adobe InDesign (make sure to set Object> Interactive> film options > Embed in PDF) - It should work with Adobe Acrobat Pro DC too: see link
Save the PDF.
See this link (German)
I do it for beamer presentations,
provide tmp-0.png through tmp-34.png
\usepackage{animate}
\begin{frame}{Torque Generating Mechanism}
\animategraphics[loop,controls,width=\linewidth]{12}{output/tmp-}{0}{34}
\end{frame}
It's not really possible. You could, but if you're going to it would be useless without appropriate plugins. You'd be better using some other form. PDF's are used to have a consolidated output to printers and the screen, so animations won't work without other resources, and then it's not really a PDF.
You can use Tikz/pgfplots for creating animations in beamer. http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/tag/animations/
Another possibility is LaTeX + animate package. You will need to provide the individual frames making the animation. The resulting pdf does NOT require any plugin, the animation is shown in Adobe reader
Maybe use LaTeX and try something like this
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[3D]{movie15}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\includemovie[
poster,
toolbar,
3Daac=60.000000, 3Droll=0.000000, 3Dc2c=0.000000 2.483000 0.000000, 3Droo=2.483000, 3Dcoo=0.000000 0.000000 0.000000,
3Dlights=CAD,
]{\linewidth}{\linewidth}{Bob.u3d}
\end{document}
where Bob3d.u3d is a sample virtual reality file I had. This works (or did) for movies, and I expect it might work for gifs too.
I just had to figure this out for a client presentation and found a work around to having the GIF play a few times by making a fake loop.
Open the Gif in Photoshop
View the timeline
Select all the instances and duplicate them (I did it 10 times)
Export as a MP4
Open up your PDF and go to TOOLS> RICH MEDIA>ADD VIDEO> then place the video of your gif where you would want it
A window comes up, be sure to click on SHOW ADVANCED OPTIONS
Choose your file and right underneath select ENABLE WHEN CONTENT IS VISIBLE
Hope this helps.
Having the ability to add small animations to a PDF (portable document format, independent of application software, hardware, and operating systems) would make it the perfect solution for making extremely useful user guides. Some text, some images, and some animations/videos, all in one file that can be read by anybody on any computer.
As of acrobat pro version x, a gif can be added under Tools > Insert from File. But the gif wont play, it only shows the first image.

I created a pdf in Latex. All is well, except that I want to have the generated pdf to open at 100% zoom level by default when opened in adobe pdf reader. Currently, it is being displayed at 57%. I have also noticed other instances of pdf generated by my other Latex code being displayed at zoom levels other than 100%.
Is this just an issue with viewer or does this deviation from 100% zoom has to do something with Latex code in itself. I mean, if you change the page borders or something (or that the document type is article and not book or something else); does that effect the default zoom?
I do not remember LaTeX defaults, but for sure you can control zoom level using the hyperref package if you are not already doing so. Direct link to manual: here
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfstartview={XYZ null null 1.00}}
Please note I do not have Acrobat Reader installed on the machine I'm writing these, so don't hesitate to report if somethings wrong. Also, assuming compilation with pdflatex.
Start your code in this way if you want to compile your text either with pdflatex or latex.
Adequate it to your needs.
\RequirePackage{ifpdf}
\ifpdf
\documentclass[pdftex,letterpaper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{lmodern}
% \usepackage{textcomp}
\else
\documentclass[dvips,letterpaper,12pt]{article}
% \usepackage[active]{srcltx} % for dvi viewers supporting source code mapping
\fi
But you may want to set the default zoom size in your viewer preferences option.
Evince viewer allows to configure the buttons of the top bar, add the scaling buttons.
You have to use the \usepackage[pdflatex]{hyperref} package, compile with pdflatex (or rubber -d) and use the hypersetup setting I put in a comment above.
