Question

How can I save my Adobe Photoshop file as a PDF?

Answer

Saving a Photoshop file as a PDF is quick. Choose File and then Save As, and select Photoshop PDF from the format menu. For printing, a few extra choices in the save dialog make sure the PDF is press-ready rather than screen-only.

  • File and Save As: pick Photoshop PDF from the format list to start the export.
  • Choose a print preset: select high-quality or press-quality so images stay at full resolution.
  • Confirm CMYK color: set the document to CMYK before saving for accurate print color.
  • Flatten and size correctly: make sure the canvas includes bleed and prints at 300 dpi.
