Vector Smart Objects output as pixels, that’s it. 

You could use Shape Layers instead, those can be output as vector data in pdf.

Hi

It's not vector in Illustrator until you click Expand. Right now it's still a Live Tracing Object and can still be modified.

    What did you expect instead? 

     

    Photoshop is a pixel oriented image editing program so the images are made up of pixels. 

    If you increase their disply they can become noticable because one image pixel may need to get represented by more than one screen pixel. 

     

    Photoshop can, under certain circumstances (Shape Layers, Type Layers output in svg, pdf, …) create vector output but it has to display as pixels.

      Well, I understood you ,

      but I am wondering if I can print it in large sizes like (e.g) building size ,

      Would it be of poor quality if it was printed in large sizes,  for example like a building size.

       

      Do Must I have to export it to a PDF file using Photoshop or Illustrator,
      To keep it quality as possible and print it in large sizes without affecting its quality...

       

      Greetings...
