Photoshop 22.4.1 Save as PDF feature MISSING

[danac55890086]

I installed the new version of Photoshop yesterday and now the Save As PDF option is completely missing. I use that about 1000 times a day and really need it back ASAP. Is anyone else having this same problem?

Hi,

We're sorry about the trouble. You can find the option to Save the files to PDF under File, Save a Copy. For more info, please check: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/whats-new/2021-4.html#save-a-copy

Let us know if it helps!

Regards,

Nikunj

This seems as an unnessasary new "feature", we, who work with photoshop daily, are custom to use our shortcuts, now we need to learn another.

See page one (and I suggest only page one) with the correct answer to why this was changed:

Seit Version 22.4:

Nutze Photoshop auch zum Scannen. "Speichern einer Kopie" ist zeitraubend, wenn man als Datei nur ein *.pdf will. Bei "Zuletzt verwendete Dateien"  wird nur das Original (IMG*.bmp) angezeigt, das nicht benötigt wird. Ein schneller Zugriff auf die zuletzt gespeicherten PDF-Dateien ist nicht mehr möglich. Weiter muss man beim Schließen des Programms jede IMG*.-Datei im Dialogfeld  "Nicht speichern" anklicken und im Windows Explorer löschen.

Hier wäre eine Änderung des Workflows wünschenswert (*.pdf als Original).

I also encountered an issue when using the Save as Photoshop PDF option, which doesn't reflect the change to this functionality. Like others, I use this feature too often for "Save a copy" to be useful, so I've reverted to 22.3.1 and I'm back in business.

NO YOU CAN'T!
Even the screenshot on your link shows that PDF is not available as a file option!
THIS IS NUTS!

EDIT

Ok - there seems to be a limitation on when the PDF option becomes available. I've been working on a large format print image that is 5800x2800mm at 300dpi. At 100% the Save as PDF option is not available but if I reduce the file size by 50%, then it magically becomes an option!

Go figure? Bug?

Hi

Assuming you're on version 22.4 Adobe have changed how the Save/Save As works, more info

You can revert to an older version from the Creative Cloud app if you need to get the old way of saving back

It's there in the Save A Copy option, but is useless for anyone working on tight deadlines and needing to save more than one file format and then catch a ferry! But as usual, they try to make it look like they've done us all a favour.

Please bring back the  'Save as PDF'  option in the 'Save as' menu and not in the "Save as a copy" menu.

This is not an improvement to the program!

@defaulthitih9nz4pfi , @Capt. Buffy Tufton HK ,

Version 22.4.2 now includes PDF in the Save menu.

Additionally, new options in preferences offer more customizations that I hope will help you (re) accelerate your workflow.
