Sammy Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Hi, I am working on a file of images and text in photoshop. I was saving as jpg and then using an online program to convert to pdf. I was getting some fuzz around the text. I then saved as photoshop PDF and wasn't getting that but the files are way too big to work with effectively. (I need to print over 60 different files) I remember reading something on your forum about this but couldn't find it now. I'm wondering if you have a more effective way to work this out? Thanks!

Damien Symonds Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 You're absolutely correct, PDF is the right (and only) way to save. However, if they're "way too big" there must be something else wrong. What kind of documents are you creating, exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Thanks for your response. Its a 8.5x11 page with an image of a child, a graphic image and a poem. I set the resolution to 300 pixels/inch This was the way I saved it (just used the default settings. I was getting files over 30 MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 "For images above" should be 300. And for "Image Quality", High is okay. Let me know how much difference that makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 Also, I would like to see one of the pages if that's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 I was wondering about this option- I can keep the psd files to rework on something if necessary, would that reduce the file size? Is this an important option to keep checked? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 I actually just tried removing the check from that and the file size is 1 MB. Would that make sense? Is there a reason I shouldn't go this route? There's no fuzz... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Posted November 23, 2023 Author Share Posted November 23, 2023 Thanks! A file size of 1 MB for a pdf is considered good quality for printing a standard paper size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
