How to set page orientation for export PDF on PS

When exporting PDFs in Photoshop, adjust the page orientation by "Save As > Format > Page Settings > Orientation". However, you should first confirm the direction of the image itself, and note that the direction of each page in the multi-page PDF needs to be set separately.

When processing PS files to export PDFs, setting page direction is a very common requirement. If you are not careful, it will lead to wrong direction of the document and affect your reading experience. Let’s talk about this matter today. Based on my actual experience, we will break it apart and break it up and explain it to you clearly.

Photoshop itself does not directly control the page orientation of the PDF, it relies on the export settings. The most direct way is to use the "Save As" function. Select "PDF" in "Format" and click "Save". The key lies in the next settings dialog box. You will see a "Page Settings" option, or a similar option. The specific location may vary slightly depending on the Photoshop version, but the core functions are consistent. In this page settings, you will find the "direction" setting, which usually has two options: "Portrait" and "Landscape". Select the direction you need and click Save. It's that simple? Well, on the surface, but the devil is hidden in the details.

A common misunderstanding is that many users do not carefully check the orientation of the image itself before exporting. If your image itself is horizontal and you choose to export it vertically, the final result is definitely wrong. Therefore, before exporting, you must first confirm whether the orientation of the image itself is correct. It’s like building a house. If the foundation is not laid well, no matter how good the building is, it cannot be built.

Another point that is easy to overlook is that if the PDF you export contains multiple pages, the page orientation of each page needs to be set separately. Photoshop is not like some professional typesetting software that can set the orientation of all pages at once. Therefore, if you need multiple pages of documents and different pages need different directions, you need to rotate the image accordingly before exporting, then export it into a single page PDF, and finally merge it with other tools (such as Adobe Acrobat). Although this is one step further, it can ensure that the direction of each page is accurate.

In addition, the interface and operating steps of different versions of Photoshop, and even different operating systems may vary slightly. I suggest that before operating, you should first check the help documents of the version of Photoshop you are using, or search for some related tutorial videos. Don’t be afraid of trouble. Just watch and practice more to master it.

Finally, I would like to give some suggestions for different office scenarios:

• Make a poster or banner: Select the horizontal export directly to ensure that the layout of the image elements is in line with the design intention.
• Making reports or documents: Usually, vertical export is more in line with reading habits.
• Making a multi-page picture album: It is recommended to first handle the direction of each page of images, then export them separately, and finally merge them.

Remember, practice makes perfect. Practice more and summarize more, and you can become an expert in PS export PDF direction settings! Trust me, this is definitely a skill worth mastering!
