To transfer save data from PS4 to PC, you'll often need to rely on the game's own cloud save functionality, if available. First, ensure your game on PS4 supports cloud saving and you have it enabled. Second, upload your save to the cloud. Lastly, on your PC, log into the same account used on PS4 and download the save from the cloud. Note, this process varies by game and not all games support cross-platform saves, so always check the game's specific instructions.
