Saving a Photoshop PDF file
Images containing text or vector shapes may appear i ne in low resolution when viewed
on a computer display, even if the vector information is rasterized (converted into pixels.)
When the same images are used for print projects, they should retain the resolution-
independent vector elements. This keeps the text and other vector graphics looking sharp,
so you do not need to worry about the jagged edges that occur when text and shapes are
rasterized. To keep the vector information, you need to save the i le using a format that
retains both vector and bitmap data.
