In CS3, there was an ‘export to pdf’ which just converted the PSD to PDF. Now in CS4, the option is under ‘save as’. The problem is when I am doing a job and want to get approval, I like to generate a low res PDF WITHOUT the option of ‘preserving photoshop editing capabilities’. Otherwise, I get aa huge file.
The problem is, the document in Photoshop is now a PDF and although the layers are still showing in the layers pallet, if at that point, I do any more editing or just try to save it as a PSD, the image is automatically flattened, without any warning. I managed to lose all my work by saving AFTER I created the small PDF.
why has adobe chosen to change the working document to PDF? If I save as a jpg, the document remains as a PSD file. This is very frustrating. I much prefer the export to PDF in the CS3 version.
If CS4 is doing this, it should at least generate a warning that all layers will be merged at that time.
