I'm desperate! I'm trying to find a basic way to take a layered .psd file with text layers and convert the file into a .pdf file where the text remains on a separate, editable layer. Is this doable? Thanks for any advice. I have InDesign now, but my time schedule will not allow for the learning curve involved with transfering all my book files into InDesign and learning the program...just yet. I need to hand off .pdf files for someone to work with highlighting the text etc. So, if this is doable without involving InDesign...that's preferable. Hello there! I’m desperate!

I work primarily with spot colors. The beauty of spot colors is that they don't have to run the gauntlet of the work flow preserving the actual color value like CMYK. All a spot has to do is maintain its separateness, you don't have to have the purple of 2577, though it does help with color proofs and aproximate look on the screen. This was a great tip, the kind that makes my work easier. I go straight to plates from Indesign. If I had that file with only CMYK, I would have to take it into Photoshop, select the white in each letter of the spot color type, and make a separate tiff file to drop into Idesign as a spot color. The way you do it is the best for both of us. I save time and you get your work on the press without extra hands on your file.

I assume multichannel images do not save well as PDF files, do they? I think that's a situation only for EPS... I'll have a try on this anyway, a very clever use of the PDF instead of the old formats. Hmmm… I assume multichannel images do not save well as PDF files, do they?
