Adobe Acrobat & Photoshop Tutorial
- 1). Open Photoshop and open a new or existing document in Photoshop from the "File" menu.
- 2). Add any desired images, text, effects, etc. to your Photoshop composition and select "File > Save As." Set the "Format" drop-down menu to "Photoshop PDF," which is the format you want to use in order to integrate Photoshop with Acrobat and all of its features. Enter a name and save location where indicated and make sure the "Layers" and "Embed Color Profile" boxes are checked. Click "Save."
- 3). Click "OK" in the dialog box alerting you that your settings can be overridden in the "Save Adobe PDF" dialog. Set your desired PDF settings in the resulting "Save Adobe PDF" dialog box. You can set the Acrobat version compatibility and print quality settings from the "General" section, and you can add PDF security settings such as password protection right in Photoshop in the "Security" section. You can also set compression and color settings from this dialog box. Make sure the "View PDF after Saving" box is checked in the "General" section, which will automatically launch Acrobat once your save is completed. Click "Save PDF" when you have adjusted your settings as preferred.
- 4). Switch over to Acrobat, which will have launched and opened your newly saved Photoshop PDF. Make sure your color settings and image quality meet your standards.
- 5). Make any desired PDF adjustments to your document. Acrobat allows you to refine or add security settings to the document, even if you already did this in Photoshop. You can merge your document with others to create a PDF portfolio or add forms and text entry fields. You can also add multimedia components such as Flash video or audio components. Select "File > Save" from the application menu once you have made your desired additions and adjustments.
