HI, I AM TRYING TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM WHOLE DAY. I HAVE MAC OSX 10.6.5 UPDATED, ACROBAT PRO 9.4.1 UPDATED, PHOTOSHOP CS 5 12.0.1 UPDATEM. BUT WHEN I WAS GO TO PRINT-PRINT SETTINGS-PDF THERE WHOLE UNDERLINE PRESETS DO NOTHING. /MEANS MAIL PDF, SAVE AS ADOBE PDF, SAVE AS PDFX, SAVE PDF TO IPHOTO/. NONE DIALOG FROM MENTIONED UNDERLINE ITEMS DOESN'T APPEAR IN PHOTOSHOP. NO ERROR, NOTHING. WHEN I TRY TO USE PDF-SAVE AS ADOBE PDF FROM IPHOTO DIALOG BOX APPEARS. I TRY ALSO OPEN IN ROSETTE ETC. ITS IMPORTANT FOR ME TO CREATE ADOBE PDF, NOT PHOTOSHOP PDF. BECAUSE PS PDF IS HUGE AND CAUSE FAILS ON SOLID SHAPES. THANKS FOR ADVICE. PS: SORRY FOR CAPS, WRITTING FROM HANDY

    WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?

    And why are you printing to PDF instead of just saving a PDF file?

    I am not shouting, I was writing via mobile and it cause CAPS to my mobileshit....

    And I write why I do not use Save as photoshop PDF, because its creates huge file with fails. Normal thing in DTP graphics is using Adobe Acrobat Pro with distiller and the way to use distiller is? Print to PDF, no other way is possible. In a past it was throught "fake" printer Adobe PDF 9 /adobe acrobat 9.0/. Today its Save as Adobe PDF inside print settings /adobe acrobat 9.4/. But all items under line, also Save PDF to iPhoto do nothing. Things over line such as Save PDF /without vectors and fonts-apple pdf/, Save to Postscript etc have normal functionality.

    I creates a file according to the settings one sets.

    Especially the option »Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities« can increase the pdf’s size in my experience.

    I would recommend to familiarize yourself with the various settings (Downsampling, compression-qualizty etc.), set them according to the use you have for the pdfs and save them as Preset(s) to be able to select them easily when Saving As pdf.
