Question

How to save as Press Quality PDF in Elements 15

Hello - Newbie here, at least in these forums, though have been fumbling through Elements 15 for a year or so on different projects. My current project is to upload a formatted book cover to Createspace (book self-publishing).  They want me to flatten my file (no problem there), and to save it as a "Press Quality PDF" for submission to them.  I can see how to save as a PDF or PDP file, but I am not seeing any options for anything like press quality. When I save, apart from name and destination, there is just one little option box that has options for Compression (none, zip, jpeg), and for Image Quality (Low, Medium, High, etc.)

I have been googling and watching Youtube videos for this and similar topics, but everyone seems to talk about this or that setting or choice that I don't have.  Is this just not available in Elements?  Or, is it the case that my file is already "press quality"?  Any help will be appreciated!

thanks - Miles

Photoshop elements uses the High Quality Print preset, which is actually of higher quality than Press Print to pdfs, so there is no choice.

Just save the pdf  with Compression>None and see if they will accept that.

Hi Jeff - thanks for getting back.  Your answer makes good sense to me and I will try it.  If that proves to be correct (good enough for Createspace), I will come back and post an update.
