Saving Multiple Layers to a single PDF

[Del Holford]

Automation>pdf presentation will make that happen if you put the layers either on the desktop or in a folder and have the automated process select them. It puts each file (layer) on a page and groups the pages in one pdf.

Oops – that’s in PS CS2 and CS. It may have started with v7 but I can’t remember.

You can export each layer to a file using File>> scripts>>export layers to files. I know that has been around since atleast CS1.

Thx,
When you say put the layers on the desktop, or in a folder, I’m not sure what you mean. If you mean saving them as separate files, that’s what I’m trying to avoid – the process of saving each layer as a separate layer first.

You need to make seprate files for each layer first to get the final result you need which is a single PDF with multiple pages. It is very easy to make a multiple page PDF once you have a file for each page.
