How to create a PDF


You create a PDF by converting other documents and resources to Portable Document Format. You can choose from
several PDF creation methods, depending on the type of file you start with and your requirements for the PDF. For
instance, if a file is open in its authoring application (such as an image file that is open in Adobe Photoshop), you can
usually convert the file to PDF without starting Acrobat. However, every PDF strikes a balance between efficiency
(small file size) and quality (such as resolution and color). When that balance is critical to your task, you’ll want to
convert the files by using Acrobat, because that method lets you set conversion options.

2. Select File > Print.
The Photoshop Print Settings dialog box opens (Figure 1).
3. Choose Adobe PDF from the Printer menu in the Printer Setup area.
4. Click the Print Settings button to customize the Adobe PDF printer setting. Choose one of the default settings, or

PDF From File (Figure 2).
2. In the Open dialog box (Figure 3), select the file. You

Depending on the type of file you are converting, the
authoring application starts automatically or a progress
dialog box appears. If the file is in an unsupported
format, a message appears telling you the file cannot be
converted to PDF.
4. When the new PDF opens, choose File > Save or choose
File > Save As. Then select a name and location for the
PDF.
When naming a PDF that’s intended for distribution via
the web or e-mail, consider limiting the filename to eight
characters (with no spaces) and include the .pdf
extension. This ensures that email programs or network Figure 3 Open dialog box
servers don’t truncate the filename and that the PDF
opens as expected.
