Not printable layer in Photoshop

anatoliyz82406377 Nov 30, 2017 9:58 AM

Is it possible to turn Photoshop layer into not printable layer, like in Illustrator?

I need some layers in my PSD file to be not visible after saving it to PDF. It can be easily achieved in Illustrator by unchecking Print checkbox in the layer properties, but I couldn't find how to make it in Photoshop.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

You have to do it after the fact in Acrobat, assuming all layers even come across. Layers and objects have a different meaning in Illustrator or InDesign. PS only cares for the visual appearnace, not printing related specifics.

I understand that and that's why I am asking for ideas how to make certain layer invisible after saving to PDF.

You could create layer comps to have certain layers be turned off or on.
