Hi,

I have a psd file of a flyer which I need to convert to a pdf for print. I have flattened all layers except for the type layer. What is the correct way to handle the text? Is it correct to keep it on a seperat layer, or should I rasterize it with the rest of the document? If I keep it seperate should I use outlines when I save the pdf? How will the editable text be seperated on the cmyk plates? Generally: what is a common procedure for handling text in pdfs created for print?

You don’t need to flatten the file.

First save as PSD just in case you need to make future changes. Then save as PDF without layers and with text and vector data preserved. Embed the fonts and you’re good to go.
