I can't find anywhere the explanation to create a front and back document. I systematically have a create two separate document. But I want to save both pages under a same pdf format. How do I "merge" both pages under the same file?

Thanks for your help!

This can't be done in Photoshop alone.

You'll need a page layout app (InDesign recommended, though, QuackXPress or Pagemaker will do), then you'll need to export as a PDF or use Acrobat Distiller on the file.

...or create on a 2x sized canvas and create the front page on the
right-hand and back page on the left-hand side.

That way you've already done the imposition of printing....

Or (to add to Phosphor), save your two pages as Photoshop PDF files, then open one file in Acrobat (full version) and insert the second file (Document>Insert Pages).

...or use layers and layer sets to store the two "pages" in the same document. You'd then have to export each page as a PDF and combine them in Acrobat.

I don't get it - what's a front page and a back page? Aren't they technically two separate pages anyway? For printing purposes, say on a "jet", you flip the paper over and print on side two, but on a computer... how would you get that to show anything but two separate pages?

You're a Genius, BTW. Thank you.
