How to Change PSD to PDF
When you work on an image using Photoshop, Adobe's application for creating, editing and modifying images, the file is saved in the Photoshop PSD format. The PSD format includes image layers, so you can edit different aspects of the image separately, such as the color of a lake in one layer and the color and size of a boat in another. If you want to give someone who doesn't have the Photoshop application a copy of the image file, you can save it as an Adobe PDF file. A PDF file looks the same on any computer when viewed with the free Adobe Reader application.
