First, you should be aware that not every save will give you all of the trophies that were already popped on it. If a save says it is a platinum save, it means the platinum trophy was already popped, then the save was uploaded. Usually that means many of those trophies cannot be done again on that save, for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they can be, sometimes some of those trophies automatically pop when you load the save, others you can do by repeating an action, going into a menu, it really depends on the trophy and the game.
If people know what needs to be done to pop a trophy or trophies, they will usually include some instructions. Other times, saves are uploaded for the rest of us to experiment with or just use for our own purposes. Not everyone uses them for trophies. Sometimes they pop trophies and sometimes they don't.
If you are looking specifically for trophies, there are saves that say they are for specific trophies. The names will be in the descriptions. Some threads might be for a number of trophies, sometimes even every trophy in the game. In those cases you are very likely to find instructions either in the thread, or in the download in a TXT file, or both. They will usually be called save sets or semi-save sets.
For actually using the saves, meaning to actually get them onto your PS4 and make sure your PS4 recognizes them as your own, you will need to purchase a program called Save Wizard and use it to "resign" the saves to your account. I've included some links below that give you some more information on that, including where to buy it:
