You would need a Photoshop script and it would need to open each file to get the layer information.

It would have to be written, you could try asking in the Photoshop scripting forum.

After many many copy/paste trial/error I have finished script. CS6 on Windows. Someone can clean code. Error log go to Windows/temp for easy clean.

Script convert layered images to pdf format which I think is better than psd and into source subfolder PDFs. PDF parameters is in the script.

Script convert non-layered images to jpg format and into source subfolder JPGs. JPG parameters is in the script.

1. Copy script "Layered PSD-TIF to layered PDF_Non-layered to JPG.jsx" to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts

2. Copy droplet "Layered PSD-TIF to layered PDF_Non-layered to JPG.exe" somewhere on pc.

3. Load actions set1 into action panel

4. Drop images onto droplet and wait.

Try the following (it is for layered TIFF, however I presume it could also be made to work for PSD or PSB):
