#11 - How to Save Photoshop PDF in Photoshop

Such security. 11th day in Principles of Design and Color Theory. What I've learned today is about saving Photoshop PDF Files in Photoshop. Well, first of all, what is PDF? PDF stands for Portable Document Format. PDF is a file format used to represent documents in a manner independent of application software, hardware, and operating system. From my point of view, PDFs are document files but not able to be edited. PDFs are mostly save files from word, excel, and powerpoint to avoid editing the document. So then, Photoshop has the ability to save into Photoshop PDF file for printing purposes.

What am I writing is how to save one Photoshop PDF file. When the first time I've learned and did about this, it is a lot easy as long as you have high comprehension of learning a lot of things beyond you.


#1

Let's start with the Photoshop file I'm going to save in Photoshop PDF. Why am I starting this in this way? It is because everything starts from the most simple and most beginning of a process and, of course, it has to end in the most simple and most end of a process...


#2

To save this as a Photoshop PDF file: Go to File, then Save As...


#3

In the Format, click and check Photoshop PDF so you'll save the file in Photoshop PDF file. Then, hit Save...


#4

Hmm... after you hit Save, you'll get to encounter and open this dialog box. It says: "The setting you choose in the Save Adobe PDF dialog can override your current settings in the Save As dialog box." It seems that when we save it with the settings in the Photoshop such as color working space assigned, it can override the current settings from the process during the Save As. So, this is just a warning. So then, hit OK. You may check the Don't show again. If you do, after hitting Save from the process in Save As, this dialog will never appear again. It is useful if this dialog annoys you...

#5

Then, you'll get in this part. This part tells you the other settings for saving into Photoshop PDF file. Adobe PDF Preset tells you how much quality will you save the file. It is better in high quality but costs a lot of time and space. Compatibility does the saved PDF will open in a program called Acrobat which opens PDF files. In it, it shows options which Acrobat version---4, 5, 6, 7, and so on--- will support the PDF file. Example, if you select version 5, it will open in 5 or higher versions but it will not open in 4. Options will help you on how previewing the PDF file. All of these stuff are in General section...

#6

In Compression section, this compresses the file into an assigned compression, resolution, quality. With the settings above, you get to save a PDF file into JPEG compression, in maximum quality, and with a 300 pixels per inch resolution...

#7

In the Security section, you'll get to set a password for the PDF file to be opened and to be printed. If you want to require one, just do it. If you don't want to, just do it. This helps you to have security in your PDF file. In the Permissions tab, this sets you if there are printing and changes permissions if they are allowed or not. If you want to print it but still with a password, first make a password then make permissions for printing and make sure the Printing Allowed is NOT "none"...

#7

The rest: Summary section just summarize the PDF file you want to save from the setting you've used in the first four sections.If you're sure with the settings, hit Save PDF...

#8

Last one... if you get to encounter this dialog, this tells you that this editing capabilities is incompatible with earlier versions of Photoshop. In earlier versions, you must open the PDF as a Generic PDF (not as a Photoshop PDF)... just continue (hit Yes) and never tried no...

#8.5

If you set passwords, you'll get to confirm the passwords before saving.

#10 - Vanishing Point

The 10th Day in Principles of Design and Color Theory

What I've learned today is about Vanishing Point in editing images in Adobe Photoshop. It is all about perspectives during editing. You can insert a lot of images and the place will depend on the object's perspective. Example: You have a picture you want to edit with the walls appear at the left, right, and front of you, and this includes the ceilings and the floor. Then, you'll have to use Vanishing Point to get the perspectives of the walls, the ceiling, and the floor. Then, inserting images during the vanishing point is possible. So, that makes every images inserted is according to the perspective of the walls, floors, and ceilings. It is a lot impressive to me. And, here's my work for Vanishing Point:

"The Vanishing Exhibit"

"Vanishing" It is because that I used Vanishing Point filter tool in Photoshop. "Exhibit" It is because it is an art exhibit anyway. The things I did in this edit: Mainly, I replaced the original artworks in the original photo with my artworks, and also my friend's artworks. I used Vanishing Point to find the perspectives of the front wall, the left wall, and the right wall. Then I replaced and replaced. I just left the reflections in the floor. This edit can be done in Move Tool. But, I used Vanishing Point to find and edit this with perspectives.
