A Portable Document Format (PDF) is a file format that allows you to save a copy of your file in a format that is independent from the software you used to create it. A PDF can be created using various software programs; however, the simplest way to create a PDF with a transparent background is by using Adobe Photoshop. Once you've made the background transparent you can save the file as PDF.
Step 1
Open Photoshop and start with a blank file. Click on the "File" option from the top tool bar menu and then click on the "New" option. A pop-up will then appear.
