Would it not have been useful to describe the something on the colums and rows output section? so many experts so few experts useless

There might be a problem with resolution. You should make sure the resolution is the same as the pictures. Otherwise, the PDF generator will mess them up.

I just took a closer look at CS5 and, no, it cannot export multipage PDF and preserve text editability. I also found a forum on Adobe (can't remember the URL), where they discussed this matter. There used to be a Bridge plugin but it's now obsolete and unmaintained (and also incompatible).

I though about that too, but the result was the same. No text. And same with CS5 too? I don't have InDesing at work so this is not good. Altough I quess Adobe would be more than happy to sell one.

I don't think it can. I tried it, too and I came up with nothing. CS5 does the same, so no text. Perhaps a solution would be to save each page as PDF in Photoshop then merge them in Bridge. I'll have to try this myself.

Bridge can export multipage PDF.. Yes.. But it dosn't keep text as text.. insted it turns all text into image! And that increases the filesize, you can't searh text from PDF etc. When you export single page in Photoshop CS4 (File > Save as.. > PDF) the text is text. It works ok like it should be. But with Bridge CS4 it's all ruined if you try to export multipage. Does anyone know if there is solution for this problem? Or is the fact really that Bridge can't make PDF where text is really text, not image.

Thanks. But it was quite easy to export multipage PDF in CS2. Adobe has made things complicated with CS4

Thanks for posting this method, I have it working. However, for my application I need to get the pages trimmed to an exact size so that two of them will butt together exactly (to show a two page spread - Issue). Adobe keeps putting surrounding whitespace around each page, which ruins the display of these sheets. I have tried each parameter I can to fix this, can you advise a way to get exact size on each PDF sheet with no border thrown in. Thank you!!

Great! Finally, found a solution. I've been scratching my head on this one. BUT, you have to have individual files. I'm sure you can open a multi-layer PSD and save that as a PDF where each layer is a page in PDF. Do you know how to do this please? Thanks!
