I'm trying to save psd files from photoshop as pdf photoshop files. My computer keeps having an error. Can't save because of program error?

Correct answer Nancy OShea

Change the color Mode to CMYK and flatten or merge layers.

Go to File > SaveAs and select PDF from the list.

Adjust PDF compatibility and quality settings as required.

I am having the same issue. Image mode is set to CMYK and layers have been merged, but I keep getting the same message saying the file couldn`t be saved whenever I try to save it as a pdf.

Save As PDF is limited to 30000px by 30000px. In any file above those dimensions, the Save As PDF will be disabled. You can scale down the DPI while maintaning the physical dimensions of the artwork e.g. 6 by 2 meters for example. The wrong image mode can also be a cause (Image menu --> Mode)
