jkinlaw Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Hello, I am a new user, but loving this application. I noticed by default this application does not open .pdf files like Photoshop does. I have users that are insisting on using photoshop but I do not want them to when there is a good Free application like Paint.net available. I could not find doing a search of forums if there was a pluging to make Paint.net open pdf files. Is there and can someone provide me the link to where int he forums that might be located. Sincerely, Jonathan K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Photoshop opens .PDF files because the PDF filetype is owned by Adobe, which makes Photoshop. :-) You can open PDFs with various free programs, the most popular of which is Acrobat Reader, available on millions of websites everywhere. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

Rick Brewster Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I do not understand why you'd want to open PDF's in Paint.NET or Photoshop -- what type of editing are you trying to do? And I mean that with complete honesty, not patronization ... I just don't know what scenario has people opening PDF's in Photoshop.

david.atwell Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 PDF is a good way to send vector images that are mixed with raster images. IIRC, they support layers, including text layers. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

IIRC, they support layers, including text layers. :-) Yeah but that wouldn't do us any good because we could not separate those items into their layers even if in the original .pdf there were some kind of separation Quote [The stock on my sig is a photo I took not a render from Splatter] [My deviantART][My Gallery][My Space] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 We could seperate them into individual layers, actually; the PSD filetype plugin does. Text would be rasterized, though.

david.atwell Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Leaving layered filetypes in a layered format is always more helpful than automatically flattening them.

What I mean is that I don't understand why you would want to edit an image imported from a format mainly used for documents in an image editor.

david.atwell Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well, even though it's called a document format, many people use it for images. :-) But I don't really care either way. I don't need a PDF plugin. I was just telling you why the OP might. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...
