Have you ever had to create PDF comps of websites that you designed in Photoshop? If you are like me, it's a regular occurance. I used to have to create separate JPEGs of each screen or concept, then go into acrobat and create the PDF from those files. Photoshop has a new feature/script, called "Layer Comps to PDF", that has saved me a lot of time.
Set up all of your screens in one photoshop file and create a layer comp for each screen that you want to show. Then when you're ready, go to the File/Scripts/ menu and click on "Layer Comps to PDF".
You will get a dialog box with the following options. You can either do selected layer comps or all layer comps. By default the script sets the PDF up as a slideshow and so you have options to have it advance every so many seconds and whether or not you want it to loop. I think the slideshow is a good idea when showing clients a demo, but I also wish I had the option just to create a normal PDF.
Hope this helps you go home sooner at night :)
