I own Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and until recently have always used .jpg format to email my catalogue sheets to customers. Recently I have discovered PDF's so I purchased adobe acrobat 8 standard to create PDF versions of my catalogue sheets instead of jpegs to email to customers since the size is smaller and quality is higher. When I go to create a PDF from acrobat, it says the file type (.PSD photoshop 7.0) is not supported. When I create a PDF out of adobe it is very large file, too big to email. How do I create small file size PDF's from photoshop files, and keep the image quality as I have seen so many others do? Does it require another program?

You can save your artwork as a Photoshop PDF and then in Acrobat Standard use the REDUCE FILE SIZE option. This works pretty well.

If you had Acrobat 8 Professional you can further enhance file size with the PDF Optimiser ...

Hope this helps,
