Convert PSD to PDF using C#

C#.NET Photoshop Manipulation API - Aspose.PSD is a PSD SDK that can replace Adobe Photoshop on a server. Conversion of PSD file to PDF with selectable text can be easily made.

To convert PSD to PDF you can use the following code:

Below provided sample code demonstrates how to convert PSD to PDF:

// For complete examples and data files, please go to https://github.com/aspose-psd/Aspose.PSD-for-.NET

string inputFile = dataDir + "PsdConvertToPdfExample.psd";

using (var psdImage = (PsdImage)Image.Load(inputFile, new PsdLoadOptions()))
{
    psdImage.Save(dataDir + "PsdConvertedToPdf.pdf",
        new PdfOptions() { 
            PdfDocumentInfo = new PdfDocumentInfo()
        {
            Author = "Aspose.PSD", 
            Keywords = "Convert,Psd,Pdf,Online,HowTo", 
            Subject = "PSD Conversion to PDF",
            Title = "Pdf From Psd",
        },
            ResolutionSettings = new ResolutionSetting(5, 6)
        });
}

You can specify additional PDF meta information in PdfOptions, like Author, Keywords, Subject, Title. Adobe Photoshop file can be pixel-perfect exported with Read-Only Mode, but in this case, you will not be able to select text from PSD Text Layers.

Batch processing of PSD files to PDF can help you to make a previewer for your website. PDF format can not be edited as a PSD file, so you can use it as an unchangeable format to work with your customers or partners and at the same moment you will have a PSD template that you can change at any time.
