In Photoshop, flattening typically refers to merging all visible layers into a single layer, and it's not
directly related to saving as a PDF. However, if you want to save your Photoshop file as a PDF
with flattened layers, you can follow these steps:
Step-by-step guide
- If If your Photoshop file has multiple layers and you want to flatten them before saving as a PDF,
you can do so by going to the "Layer" menu and selecting "Flatten Image." - After flattening or if you don't need to flatten, go to the "File" menu and select "Save As" or
"Save a Copy." - In In the Save As dialog, choose "Photoshop PDF" from the Format dropdown menu.
- A PDF Options dialog will appear. Here, you can configure settings for the PDF file. Make sure
to choose options that suit your needs. You might want to select a preset like "High Quality Print"
or customize settings based on your requirements. - In In the PDF Options dialog, you can also configure compression settings for images. Choose
settings Choosesettings that balance file size and image quality. - After configuring the PDF settings, click the "Save" button
