How to Create Print-Ready PDFs Using Adobe Photoshop
1. Open Adobe Photoshop and click on "Create New". Enter the dimensions including bleed; for instance, if your design is 6x9 inches, input 6.25x9.25 inches (adding 0.125 inches / 3mm bleed on each side).
2. Set the resolution to 300, choose CMYK color mode, and in the Advanced options, select the Japan Color 2001 Coated color profile. Then, click "Create".
3. In the new document, the entire white area includes the bleed, while your actual product size is 6x9 inches in the center.
4. We recommend using guidelines to mark the trim lines. The safe area should be at least 0.125 inches or 3mm away from the trim lines, and it's also recommended to mark it with guidelines.
5. Begin designing, ensuring that all images you use are in CMYK mode and have a resolution of 300 dpi. Extend the background to the bleed area and ensure important content and text are at least 0.125 inches (3mm) away from the trim lines.
6. Once your design is complete, choose "Save" and select the save type as Photoshop PDF. In the popup window, choose "High Quality Print", and in the output options, select "Don't Include Profile".
7. Open the saved PDF and ensure the size includes bleed. Click on "File" - "Properties", check the fonts, and ensure all fonts have the "Embedded Subset" flag.
8. To check the resolution of the image, click "Print Production" - "Output Preview". Under "Preview", select "Object Inspector". Click on the image in the document to view its resolution.
