Hi!

Stupid question, I have PS CS4, how do I save a PSD to PDF without losing its properties for printing? (color profile, size and dpi). I tried in "Save As" and "Photoshop PDF" but I ended up with a 882 mb PDF with funny colors :(

Really odd, looks like some compression or (more likely) color indexing is going on there. It shouldn't be doing that... I just tried saving a VERY colorful image as a PDF in Photoshop and it worked just fine.

Is it perhaps the PDF reader you're using rendering it improperly? How big is the source PSD and PDF? If it's small enough I could try opening it to see what result I get.

EDIT: nevermind, just saw the size, and holy shit that's a huge PDF. What resolution is this thing?

Here are the properties:




I'll try playing with the settings, maybe I'm lucky :P

^ If playing with save settings don't work, try RGB 8 Bit instead of CMYK 16 and merge PSD to a single layer. May be there is a problem during 16 -> 8 bit conversion.

Well I couldn't reproduce your result anyway, my PDF conversion worked with CMYK/16 and that color profile.

That PDF is HUGE. 0_o Lordie!
