Hi @larseberhardt You just need instance the PDFSaveOptions as an object and to set options. let me know if that can help you, cheers.

for example:

option = ps.PDFSaveOptions()
option.alphaChannels
option.jpegQuality
option.alphaChannels

a real example:

import os
from tempfile import mkdtemp

from photoshop import Session

with Session() as ps:
    option = ps.PDFSaveOptions()
    option.jpegQuality = 1
    pdf = os.path.join(mkdtemp(), "test.pdf")
    ps.active_document.saveAs(pdf, option)
    os.startfile(pdf)

Hi @loonghao thank you for your fast reply.

I already tried your suggestions few times but nothing happen if you set any options. I think the issue is that nothing is coded for PDFSaveOptions.
https://github.com/loonghao/photoshop-python-api/blob/master/src/photoshop/api/save_options/pdf.py

I tried it with the win32com.client and it runs as expected.

from win32com.client import Dispatch, GetActiveObject, GetObject
app = Dispatch('Photoshop.Application')
app = GetActiveObject("Photoshop.Application")
filepath = example.jpg
docRef = app.Open(filepath)
options = Dispatch('Photoshop.PDFSaveOptions')
options.PresetFile = "Example_Preset_File" 
app.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(pdf_file, options, AsCopy=False)
app.ActiveDocument.Close(Saving=2)

Hi @larseberhardt Since the code of this API is dynamically converted using comtypes,
This will not affect the use of the code, they are just that there is no automatic code completion function in the script editor, I will update it in a future version.

you just need to have an active document in photoshop and run the below code.

import os
from tempfile import mkdtemp

from photoshop import Session

with Session() as ps:
    option = ps.PDFSaveOptions()
    option.jpegQuality = 1
    option.PresetFile = "Example_Preset_File"
    pdf = os.path.join(mkdtemp(), "test.pdf")
    ps.active_document.saveAs(pdf, option)
    os.startfile(pdf)
