Episode into PDF

[Conrad_Os]

Hello, so I need send my episodes back and forth with my editor, but she did complain about the cropping when I convert the images I get from croppy to pdf, since every page have some spacing in between them.
Is there a better way to convert a full episode into a pdf without cropping it? Or at least have seamless cropping?
Thank you already!

What program are you making your series in?

[CosmicLeon]

You will probably have to pay for it, but I like using Adobe InDesign for stuff like that. and you can set your page bleeds up in it too which is nice when sending your stuff to publishers/printers. There might be a free trail for a short amount of time to see if you like it.

photoshop can export to pdf

[Conrad_Os]

photoshop and clip studio

[Conrad_Os]

ohh I have the adobe pack, but I never thought about using indesign, I'll definitely check it out, thanks

[joannekwan]

Yeah like Magna said, you can save your work as pdf in photoshop, makes it easy.

[Conrad_Os]

just tried, and the file is way to big, photoshop wont do it

[joannekwan]

First, be sure to save as a copy and turn off the layers if your editor doesn't need them

And then when the PDF options box comes up, there are things you can select to make the file smaller (some of which I've selected here, but the first drop down list 'Adobe PDF Preset' should cover most everything with the 'smallest file size' option)

[Conrad_Os]

I don't know where you got that option, but I cant get PDF anywhere, if I try to save as, the file is too big, jpeg and psb are the only options, if I try to export as, also no PDF option, and the automated PDF presentation doenst work with a single file

[joannekwan]

Hm, that's strange. It might be due to the version of photoshop that you have that the save as options are so limited.

[Conrad_Os]

maybe, it's just weird that photoshop 2019 is that limited I did update to 2020 a few months ago but the sensitivity on my tablet just goes nuts so I went back

[joannekwan]

I'm guessing you might have the 'lighter' version of the program: PS Elements?
It has fewer features than PS CC

[Conrad_Os]

nope, CC 2019, elements suck

[joannekwan]

Huh that's super weird then.
Unfortunately my knowledge only extends to CS6, so I can't help you any further. Sorry TnT

EDIT: Actually, could this be your issue?

from here

and your channel mode can be found here to check

[Cavechan]

Yeah you definitely shouldn't be having that issue, that's very strange. When you save as and select PDF then save, the dialogue box for settings should show up. So after you click save nothing comes up?

[Conrad_Os]

It's already on 8 bits, I guess photoshop just hates me for some reason

[Conrad_Os]

Nope, no option, this is what I get

[Cavechan]

How big is your file (dimensions)? I'm guessing it is likely too big for PDF because I don't see the option for PSD on that list, only PSB (PSD for really big files).

[Conrad_Os]

800x60000, it's veeeery long
