no option to save file as photoshop pdf

[Laura24354732q75s]

Hi, i just got a new mac desktop and installed the newest photoshop. No i dont have the option to save a file as a photoshop pdf anymore. I think its because the files are to big? But i didnt have this issue before. I could save every document as a photoshop pdf file. I allready set the settings to an older version but that doesnt change anything. I use photoshop to make my files smaller, they have to many pixels. Does anybody have a tip to make the pixels less without loosing quality or how to fix the problem that i have?  Sory for my english. Im dutch. Thanks

You can either use "Save a Copy" or you can make a change in Preferences.

As of 22.4.1, you can find png, jpg, pdf, etc., in Save a Copy.
As of 22.4.2 you can revert to the previous behavior in Preferences > File Handling > File Saving Options:

• Enable Legacy Save As
• Do not append Copy to filename

Also ensure that there are no greater than 30,000 pixels on the longest edge.
