Rasterized text when exported from PSD to PDF

[Sacha36828471ivrm]

Hi, when I export a poster from PSD to PDF, it rasterizes the text and I can't select it in any PDF reader. Is there any way to keep the text as a text and to be able to select it once exported as a PDF (e.g. to copy-paste a sentence) ?

Are you activated "Edit" mode in Acrobat?

I did, but it doesn't allow me to select the text either. Moreover, I would like anyone to be able to copy-paste easily the text from my document in any PDF viewer, and thus not have them activating the Edit Mode to do so. The idea is really for it to be as easy as if it was a text that had been exported from Word.

When saving the Photoshop PDF, ensure that you have checked the box to include layers.

A PDF is a graphic/rasterized image of a document. Here is a link to Adobe Acrobat which might be able to work for you. I haven't tried it myself.

Not always.

A PDF can contain raster, vector, text and gradient objects, among other things.

A PDF is so much more then  graphic/rasterized image.

Another thought. What preset did you use?  High Quality Print gives best quality even if intended for online use and not for printing.

Update : I realized the text got rasterized when exported as a PDF because the fonts were not directly downloaded on my PC. It's fixed now, thanks all for your answers !
