Post subject: Editing Flipped Image in PDF File using Photoshop
Archived from groups: adobe>photoshop>windows, others (more info?)

I have a pdf file that was created by Quark 5.0 using Distiller. One of the
picture boxes in the original Quark document has an image that is flipped
horizontally.

If I try to edit the picture in acrobat so that I can apply a SNAP curve to
it, when Photoshop opens the image, the image opens with Pixel Aspect Ratio
correction set. The image is a thin vertical line. If I turn off Pixel
Aspect Ratio Correction, the un-flipped image is displayed.

If I then exit Photoshop, saving the image, the original image in the pdf
file disappears.

What is going on? How can I fix this, or do I have to flip the original
image before I use it in Quark?

Thanks,

Quark has a button in the Measurements palette which will flip an image
inside its picture box.

Do not edit a Quark PDF in Photoshop. The text and linework in the PDF
will be rasterized (turned to pixels).

I'm not editing the entire pdf. I am only editing the image that is
imbedded in the pdf (tools/advanced object edit).

Rather than going trough the hassle, why not just flip the image in
Quark and recreate the PDF? Likely take less time...

I did flip the image in Quark. That makes it impossible to edit the image
after I create the pdf.

Interesting. I don't generally edit PDFs after I create them (and in any
event I've abandoned Quark for InDesign), so I haven't encountered that
issue.

Is there a reason you edit the PDF itself, rather than reconstructing it?

If you didn't use Quark's postcript parser (export to PDF) and made a
..ps and distilled afterwards... Illustrator might open it. Did you try
opening the PDF in illustrator? You'll also need the original fonts.
If you can select the image somehow , you can then copy/paste into
photoshop to edit and replace the image in illustrator again. After
just make a PDF from the illy file.
