Photoshop PDF format

Portable Document Format (PDF and PDP) is a flexible, cross-platform, cross-application file format. PDF files accurately display and preserve fonts, page layouts, and both vector and bitmap graphics.

Note: PDF and PDP are the same except that PDPs are opened in Photoshop and PDFs are opened in Acrobat.

To save a file in Photoshop PDF format:

1 Choose File > Save As, and choose Photoshop PDF from the format list.

2 Specify a filename and location, select saving options (as described in Saving images), and click Save.

3 Select an encoding method. (See About file formats.)

Note: Bitmap-mode images are automatically encoded using CCITT compression--the PDF Options dialog box does not appear.

4 Select Save Transparency if you want to preserve transparency when the file is opened in another application that supports PDF transparency. When reopening the file in Photoshop Elements, transparency is always preserved, regardless of whether you select or deselect this option.

5 Select Image Interpolation if you want to anti-alias the printed appearance of a low-resolution image.

6 Click OK.
