I can't save a psb file as pdf

[tognaco]

I use Photoshop 23.3.2 under Mac. I have a .psb file that weights 394 MB and when I click on "Save as", Photoshop doesn't show the option to save it as a .pdf file, which unfortunately is the format that the printing company requires. Only .psb and .tiff are shown. Any idea how to fix the problem? Thanks in advance.
