PSB at a glance
PSB
Photoshop's native format became one of the de facto interchange anchors of raster design and retouching, even outside Adobe-only teams, because so many creative pipelines converged around its feature set.
PDF (Vector) at a glance
PDF (Vector)
PDF inherited its imaging model from PostScript, then became ISO-standardized, which let it displace older print-exchange conventions in many workflows that once depended on pure page-description languages or encapsulated graphics formats.

What changes when converting PSB to PDF (Vector)?
Vector graphic delivery in print workflows, logo and artwork distribution as scalable PDF, and lossless vector interchange for design handoff.
What should I review after converting PSB to PDF (Vector)?
After conversion, review these destination checks: Open converted output in Adobe Acrobat and verify behavior on real samples; Compare output against the expected scalable quality profile; Poor fit for ongoing illustration editing compared with native design formats.
