Settings for saving a pdf

[Maria]

I have created a double sided marketing flyer in PS. I want to save it as a PDF for print but also to send as an email attachment.

 

1) what settings should I use to save for print and also to be mindful of the file size for when I want to email as an attachment?

 

Thanks.

You need to save two different output copies of this file.  One for print (at the size required by your print lab, including trim and bleed), and one for email (compressed for easier sending and receiving).

It's just like your output files for your photos.  One size for printing, and a much smaller size for web display.  No one file size can do both well.

Thanks. Any links to something online that explains to save for print properly with trim and bleed?

For saving as an attachment which options would you recommend on the save window?

You'll need to speak to the printer about that.

There's a "Smallest File Size" setting, which should be a good starting point.
