PDF to PSD converter

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a type of document created by Adobe back in 1990s. The purpose of this file format was to introduce a standard for representation of documents and other reference material in a format that is independent of application software, hardware as well as Operating System. PDF files can be opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader/Writer as well in most modern browsers like Chrome, Safari, Firefox via extensions/plug-ins.

File with a .PSD extension contains an image stored in Adobe Photoshop’s native file format. Data contained in PSD files concern file’s distinctive features, full image layers data, data on applied masks and fitting, remarks or key words. This file format supports many colour pallets, for instance grey scale, RGB, CMYK, mono and dichromatic colours, colour indexes and multi-channel colours. PSD files can be exported to more common file formats, like PNG, JPEG or GIF. This file format is proprietary, however, it can be read with different programs, such as Apple Preview for Mac OS or Windows Explorer, Windows Photo Viewer, Windows Media, provided proper codecs are installed.
