Since I updated MacBook Pro to OSCatalina and also Photoshop to latest version 20.0.6 (both same day) I cannot save any file to pdf format well. And by well I mean that every time I try to save any file to pdf what it does is save it with a .psd extension (but it is actually a pdf). Thing is I already lost to layered master Psd files because of this bcause when it asked to rewrite the file at saving (thinking it was an old pdf) I accepted. Meh! I lost the original.

It appears that with yesterday's installation of Catalina on my Mac, Photoshop is not saving to the proper file format. When attempting to save a .tif file to a save as .jpg file, I choose the JPEG file format in the dropdown menu, but Photoshop doesn't recognize this and saves the file as a .tif file, then sends me a warning message asking if I want to replace the .tif file with the new one. I have to manually delete the .tif extension and type in .jpg for the file to be saved to the proper format. Many times, and this was well before installing Catalina, Photoshop also saves a file to a previously opened folder rather than the one I am working on, and I have to search for the saved file. MADDENING! I did see several posts regarding the file save issues, but this has only happed to me since installing Catalina yesterday.

Whilst I acknowledge that this isn't the same problem that Mac users have with Catalina and Photoshop, I'm beginning to question the whole updated iOS 13 in relation to file compatibility
within Apple system.
I'm having huge problems with www.icloud.com not being able to read .jpg or .jpeg files from photos edited in Photoshop. It doesn't matter which way I save the photos, whether using Save As, etc. or where I source the original photos from.
Any iphotos which I've downloaded to my Windows PC from www.icloud.com and which I've edited in Photoshop and then re uploaded to www.icloud.com will not open on my iPhone or iPad.
I know it's not Photoshop, because I can't use any .jpg / .jpeg photo files from any of my Canon or Sony cameras, which I've uploaded to www.icloud.com My iPhone and iPad Photo App will display the error message: Cannot open the Photo.
I have been helping Apple Engineers for two weeks with this problem of Photos App not being able to open photos on iPhone or iPad. We've had screen shares, file shares, with me listing step by step for them to reproduce the problem and they can't find anything. Today, as a last resort, we shared a logging session where I uploaded a saved edited Photoshop .jpg file to www.icloud.com and my Photos on iPhone 'Could not load Photo'.
For those Mac/Catalina users I have found this Apple support site, which may be of help to you if you have problems with file extensions: Formats compatible with macOS Catalina - These video, audio, still-image, and container formats are compatible with iMovie on Mac computers with macOS Catalina:
The link for full explanation: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209029

No wonder they've not found time to call me for a session. They're too busy with you. (sigh) iPad OS isn't able to preview files in folders that are on my iPad and have never been a problem before. Airdrop is barely even working at all. One file up or down at a time is okay into photos is okay, but not folders, even small ones, into Files or shared from Files.
I updated to iPad OS for the sake of using a portable drive with it, and it appears by gaining that, I sacrificed the ability to even see the files in folders that have more than 100 files in them.
All the problems with the latest updates aren't just Adobe's. I'm sorry you're in trouble with it. I'm relieved that I'm not alone so the engineers can't simply dismiss me—even if they don't call back to make an appointment as promised. They're obviously very, very busy!

Ahh Cristen, it's a nightmare for sure! I'm sorry Apple Engineers haven't been in contact with you. I have come across so many problems with file formats, photos, notes and today alone I've sent another 3 files to Apple Support. I've got an open link with them for 7 days so I guess they might be taking the issue seriously.
The iOS 13 upgrade has really caused issues with file incompatibility.
Thank heavens I don't own a Mac! Sorry Mac users! I sure feel for you with the issues your having with Catalina OS

I'm trying to save a pdf from Photoshop. I have the latest version of Photoshop, but just upgraded to Catalina (I didn't see anything warning me not to upgrade yet). When I save as, I drop down to pdf but the file ext doesn't change from psd and it saves to a psd file. If I try and open the psd file it gives an error. Anyone had this problem?
