Question
hi, i'm having trouble printing any pdf files with a placed photoshop file (no
matter what the size).  this problem just started recently; i was able to print
them before.  i don't remember changing any of my CS2 setting and i don't
have any problem printing pdfs without placed files.  can you please help?  
thanks, shirley
p.s. i upgraded to 10.5 recently but i believe this started before the upgrade.

Answer
Hi Shirley,

This is a common problem dealing with compatibility with CS2 and Leopard. Unfortunately CS2 is not completely 100% workable with Leopard and Adobe has since stopped supporting it. What I would recommend you do, is to check your updates for Adobe, Apple, and your printer (Leopard is not compatible with all printers now either, and Cannon/HP have dropped support on some older models as well.)

Wish I could be of more help, but it seems that these companies are adopting an upgrade or die mentality.
