No previews in Bridge with Adobe Drive 3?

We are using a custom connector for Adobe Drive. Windows Explorer shows the correct thumbnails and previews for asset versions (in the Show Versions UI). However in Bridge we cannot see any thumbnails or previews. Clearing or purging the cache does not help. It turns out that the execute method in the GetPreviewIconHandler class is never called when browsing assets in Bridge. This used to work fine with Adobe Drive 2 (at least for jpg previews, png previews never seemed to work in Bridge).  We tried different Bridge versions (4.0.4.2, 4.0.5.11, 4.1.054) but they all have the same problem. Did anything change regarding this behavior in Adobe Drive 3? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Indeed, adding the READ_XMP_METADATA capability seems to do the trick.
Thanks for the quick help.

  • Photoshop CS6 not allowing Check In with Adobe Drive 4.2 & AEM 5.6 DAM

    I have just started to set up a AEM DAM for my design team to utilize. While it worked exactly as expected on one team member's computer, I am having some problems. I can only check items in or out through Bridge CS6. With both PS and Illustrator the "Check In" menu item is greyed out. Also, when I open a file in PS from the DAM, it doesn't automatically check the item. I've seen it work fine on a cowokers computer with a seemly similar setup. Any ideas?
    Mac 10.7.5
    PS CS6
    Bridge CS6
    Adobe Drive 4.2
    CQ 5.5 and AEM 5.6 (same thing on both)
    Thanks in advance!

    In order for the Check In menu item to appear in the supported CS apps., the asset must be opened and a change must be made (it will then automatically be checked out).

  • Using Acrobat with Adobe Drive

    I am exploring using Acrobat professional with Adobe Drive 2.1. I have not seen an explict statement that Acrobat can use Adobe drive.
    Here are my questions:
    1. Can Acrobat 9 or 10 interact with Adobe Drive 2.1?
    2. Are there any Acrobat limitations to using the exposed Adobe Drive 2.1 CMIS functionality?
    Thanks

    FatMac>MacPro is correct about using Preview to read PDF's. It is built in, reliable and kept up to date by Apple software updates.
    Adobe Reader has had vulnerabilities that can cause your Mac to be attacked via malicious PDF's. Keeping Reader up to date is essential for good security, however Adobe updaters nag so much that it is simpler to avoid installing it if at all possible.
    PC users recommend it because they had no PDF support for so long, OS X has always had PDF support from Apple.

  • Viewing XMP Metadata in Adobe Bridge via Adobe Drive Connector

    Hi there,
    I've been trying to view remote file XMP metadata in Adobe bridge via our adobe drive connector. I've added the READ_XMP_METADATA capablitiy, and I've seen the DataType.XMP has been requested. but I'm not sure how to display the metadata on the Adobe bridge metadata panel. since the metadata is embeded in the file, when i browse the file in local drive, the metadata shows fine, but when it's on our remote server, some how bridge doesn't extract the info and display it. I can see the metadata when I browse the remote file in windows explorer adobe drive. and we do download the file to local to a temp copy, browse the temp copy in bridge also showing the metadata, The only thing not working is browsing the remote file in bridge via adobe drive connector.
    Please advise what should be done, in the programmer's guide, it says for each item, request that the server return the XMP data for that asset. How should I do that? If the XMP is embeded in the file, why would I need to request for it, would it be automatically extracted from the file?
    Thanks,

  • Check in dialog with Adobe Drive 4.2 doesn't work

    Hi,
    we are currently implementing a custom check-in dialog using Adobe Drive 4.2.
    The dialog looks like the example given in discussion "Custom check in dialog".
    To build the SWF, I use Flash Builder 4.5 with Adobe Flex SDK 4.0.0 (flex_sdk_4.0.0.14159A).
    I have created a new Flex Project with Application type "Web" and added a MXML Modul with name "CustomUI" and option "Do not optimize (module can be loaded by multiple applications)".
    After compiling the project I extract the "CustomUI.swf" and copy the file in the "resources" folder of my Custom Adobe Drive adapter.
    I implement the "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler", "ICanEnableCustomCheckInUIHandler" and "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler":
    "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler" sets the module url like
    response.setModuleURL(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("resource s/CustomUI.swf"));
    "ICanEnableCustomCheckInUIHandler" enables the custom ui dialog with
    response.setCanEnable(true);
    "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler" adds some context data like
    Map<String, Object> contextInfo = new HashMap<String, Object>();
    contextInfo.put("key1", "test1");
    response.setContextInfo(contextInfo);              
    (Also hidding the "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler" in "IRemoteHandlerFactory" doesn't work.)
    Right click on an checked out asset in Windows Explorer and click on "Adobe Drive 4/Check in..." does following:
    1. "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler" called
    2. "ICanEnableCustomCheckInUIHandler" called
    3. "IGetCustomCheckInUIHandler" once more called
    4. "IGetCustomCheckInUIContextInfoHandler" called
    5. The default check in dialog is shown (with no custom ui extension), the default dialog hangs (OK/Cancel doesn't react on click, the dialog is freezed). Only the close button (X in the right upper corner) works.
    How is it possible to provide a custom ui check in dialog?
    Thanks

    Hi again.
    I found where the problem was (at least in my case).
    To go to the point: go in the "properties" of your flex project. In the menu, go in "Flex Build Path" and then in "Library Path". Then, the option "Framework linkage" is with the default value in a new flex project.
    So here is the trick : with Flex 3 (so Adobe Drive 3), the default value is "merged into code".  Bug in the Flex 4 (so Adobe Drive 5), the default value is "Runtime Shared Library".
    And because the module is ran independently (with no link with the flex code that load your module), the flash player crashes because it doesn't find your libraries (like ICustomCheckinUI).
    I discovered this problem running the Custom UI from the windows explorer (not with Bridge) and using the Flash Player Debug version, and watching the error log files of the Flash Player.
    So in the end, when I checked "merged into code" in the Framework Linkage option, all my dependencies of my flex module were merged into my final module swf, and no more flash crash.
    Sorry for my bad english and hope it helped.

  • Links to other PDF's broke in Preview but work with Adobe

    I have a users manual for my car that is made up of a PDF for each section of the manual. In Adobe and Preview, I can open any PDF, click on the different sections in that particular table of contents and go to that page in the PDF. Preview, however, doesn't go to the MAIN table of contents, which is in a different PDF. Anyone know if Preview can link to other PDF's and not just itself? It works fine with Adobe, but not Preview.
    Thanks

    I find I'm having the same problem, but not just with links to other PDFs. ALL links are non-functioning.
    The original document was created in Word, but all the links should work properly. I'm even unable to click on links wherein the text for the link is "http://example.address.com/page.htm"
    Considering we've got a district full of Macs, and the default program is Preview ( which is also so much faster to load) It would really be nice if these links worked.

  • Getting going with Adobe Drive 4

    So we're looking for a Digital Asset Management system. Since we use the Master Collection, times 14, so an Adobe solution would be great!
    We found Adobe Drive 4 to be a perfect fit for us...
    However getting started has been a pain in the ***....
    We have a Mac Pro, with 2 x quadcore 3.2's, 32 GB of RAM, 1 x 256GB SSD, 26 TB eSATA and Firewire 800 connectors... Installed on it is the Master Collection, OSX Server and Adobe Drive, that's it!
    Fast forward to yesterday as my ip address, 10.0.0.108, as I type in the Adobe CQ Digital Asset Management details, server url, username, password, desplay name, I get the following error...
    "The server could not be connected"
    com.adobe.drive.connector.api.exception.RemoteSystemNotFoundException: Failed to connect repository
    I've tried everything I can think of to get Adobe Drive 4 connected so I can get our assests under control... I'm at my wits end an need help getting this up and running..
    PLEASE!
    Ted

    You’ll need to identify an asset management system to work with…either from Adobe or a number of outside vendors. To fully enable the Adobe Drive connection to a DAM server, one needs an Adobe Drive plug-in (what we call connectors) to interface with the DAM. Adobe Drive includes a connector that is designed to work with Adobe’s CQ DAM, now Adobe Experience Manager DAM. We also include a generic CMIS compliant connector that will work with servers that implement the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) specification. There are also custom connectors available from third-party vendors that are designed to work with their DAM systems.
    If you are interested in learning more about the Adobe Experience Manager DAM, go here.

  • Issue with Adobe Drive showing 2 drives when connecting to a HA environment

    I am using Adobe Drive 5 and when connecting to a HA application it shows 2 drives. Even if I use the direct IP of one node 2 drives show up
    Any idea how to stop a second drive shown up?

    I have "SMB/CIFS" not "SMB/CIS" - does that make a difference? (I'm in uncharted waters here...)
    When I go to Configure it, the default Workgroup is "Windows" in what looks like a drop down menu, but there is nothing else in the menu.
    The WINS Server: is blank and I can't type anything in it.
    I changed "Windows" (because I can type there) to the Workgroup of my school, and tried again with the same results.
    The "Apply" and "Revert" buttons are grayed out. Only a few of the options are checked: AppleTalk, Bonjour (grayed), LDApv3, SLP, and SMB/CIFS
    Authentication is set to Custom Path (/Netinfo/DefaultLocalNode)
    Contacts set to "Automatic" (same path as above)
    I'm trying to be a thorough as I can in my description, because I'm unfamiliar with this utility and want to make sure I'm not missing anything.
    Thanks.

  • Bridge with Adobe Not So Raw

    Okay, I've become totally spoiled by Bridge and ACR. Now I want a program that opens up just the large preview of my TIFF files in Bridge and lets me make some simple curve / color adjustments which Bridge then batch applies to the TIFF while I sleep (or whenever). No that is not Photoshop - in PS you have to open up the full TIFF file and that takes forever for large 16 bit per channel scans. A pain when you have a bunch of them. And batch actions in PS don't work unless the color corrections are all the same - or you use "auto" which is, well, sometimes less than a "best" correction. I know you need to open up the actual pixels in PS to do things like cloning out of spots etc. etc. (which are now not so much an issue with digital ICE) but I *like* the way Bridge and ACR operates together and I really would like that for TIFFs (and JPGs, BMPs, etc.). So does anyone know of a program that does that? I wish that Adobe would add that as a Bridge "plugin" (or whatever) but since that is probably on the Bridge list somewhere between never and eternity I'd be willing to use something else for a while... I vaguely remember that the old dead "Live Picture" software worked a bit like that - but I'm not sure if I still have the disc and it wasn't integrated into Bridge - which of course didn't exist back then. Surely something or other current works like Bridge/ACR but on TIFFs without actually opening the whole TIFF file? Or maybe I just want a TIFF to DNG converter so I can do ACR-like batch things to TIFFs. Yeah, I know that is impossible...hence the request for a minimal TIFF/JPEG/BMP editor in Bridge that adjusts color based on the Bridge preview... I'd even pay extra for it. I'd even tolerate sidecar files!
    Dan

    Like Curt stated, in PS go to menu Photoshop / About Plug ins / Camera raw. This brings a window showing the correct version number of Adobe Camera Raw (it should state 6.7 and only one version visible.
    On you system it should be in this location:
    In Finder use column mode and click on your disk with the system on it (normally it shows 4 folders: Library , Users , Applications and System) Click on Library and follow this path / Application Support / Adobe / Plug-Ins / CS5.1 / File Formats. Inhere should be only one file called "Camera Raw.plugin"
    If you click on this file the info next to it should show the version number, in your case 6.7

  • 360 panorama not shown in preview on iPad with Adobe Content Viewer

    Hello Forum -
    I have a weired problem with the 360 panorama…
    When I create the panorama using the overlay creator everything works perfect and the desktop preview is showing the panorama very fine.
    On the ipad (after login with my adobe ID and downloading the Magazin) I get only a white page after tapping the defined Preview image.
    I tried:
    _deleted all images from the original folder
    _renamed the files
    _created the Overlay again
    _reloaded the images into the InDesign Document
    _published again to the Adobe server
    _deleted the "Content Viewer" from iPad
    _installed new "Content Viewer"
    Still an my DesktopViewer everything is fine, but the 360 wont work
    btw. all other elements like slideshows, videos, scrollable text etc. is working
    Any Ideas or Solutions?
    Best regards, gutsche

    Try opening the six images in Photoshop and using Save for Web & Devices to save the files. Try creating smaller files.
    The current files you're using might be too much for the iPad to handle.

  • PDF won't print in Preview but OK with Adobe Reader

    Periodically (and rarely) I run into a problem where an application yields a PDF for printing, is submitted to the print queue of my Laserwriter 16/600 PS, and instead of printing, the following message pops up briefly before the job is wiped out:
    the process "cgpdftops" terminated unexpectedly on signal 6
    The same problem occurs if I choose to preview the output first, in which case the job is submitted by Preview, and that yields the same result.  However, I open the same PDF document using Adobe Reader, it prints fine.
    Any thoughts?

    On the Print dialog under Page Sizing & Handling, did you try Fit or Shrink oversized pages?

  • Developing: Endless loop in Adobe Bridge with and Adobe Drive CMIS Connector

    Hi
    Currently I’m implementing a CMIS-Server for the dam system of my company, using the apache chemistry framework. One of the main requirements is that adobe drive works with it.
    At the moment I implemented only the navigation services (getChildren, getObject, …) and the repository services and test them against adobe drive. It’s already possible to navigate through folders and read assets with ad4 and the finder. So 3 days ago I installed adobe bridge (CS6) and test my server again.
    My test environment is very easy.
    root(1 object)->test1(0 objects; empty)
    First I’m opening my repository with adobe drive and then I switch to bridge and connect it. Bridge shows me the folder test1 with no errors. So I double-click it and now bridge is in an endless loop. The notification switch between ‘Keine anzuzeigenden Elemente’(No elements to show) and ‘Einen Moment bitte, die Suche läuft …’(Searching, please wait …). This only happens in bridge. When I open the folder with the finder it just works, without the loop.
    So I logged all requests, which were send by adobe drive, and get this list.
    Connecting with adobe drive
    getRepositoryInfos
    getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes
    getTypeDecendants (cmis:document)
    getTypeChildren (null) -> all basetypes (Why two times?)
    getTypeDecendants (cmis:document) (Why two times?)
    getRepositoryInfos (Why two times?)
    getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
    getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
    getObjectByPath (/.hidden) (Why so often?)
    getObjectByPath (/DCIM)
    getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
    getObjectByPath (/.Spotlight-V100)
    getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
    getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
    getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index)
    getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel)
    getObjectByPath (/.metadata_never_index_unless_rootfs)
    getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
    getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
    getObjectByPath (/.hidden)
    getObjectByPath (/mach_kernel) …
    Open the Cmis repository in bridge and doubleclick the repository
    getChildren (cmis:folder,0) (rootfolder) returning only one element (test1)
    getObjectParents(cmis:folder,127) (test1) returning the rootfolder
    Then I double click the test1 folder
    getObject(cmis:folder,127)(test1)
    getChildren(cmis:folder,127) -> empty list
    … (endless loop)
    I already checked getObject and getChildren against a reference implementation (FileShare Repository of apache Chemistry) and it returns exactly the same structure. Only the name and the timestamps are different. So my second though was to check the repository capabilities and as well they are both equal. Now I’m a little bit desperate because I spend already 3 days in try and error bugfixing but nothing worked. So here are my questions.
    Is there a logfile for bridge because I thing this refreshing happens after an exception. I already checked the adobe drive log and it contains only asset not found errors for (e.g mach_kernel …).
    In which circumstances does bridge reloads a folder?
    Debugging of adobe drive: I already read http://forums.adobe.com/message/3928595 but it doesn’t work in AD4 any more, I only get info/error/fatal messages.(I changed the log4j config files in AD4ServiceManager.) Does something changed or did I forget something?
    Why does AD4 make 2 or more times the exact same request? (Look table above).
    I hope my English is good enough to understand.
    Thanks

    After two months I'm a little bit smarter so I can answer some of my question by my own.
    No there is no logfile for bridge, but I was able to debug the scriptcode from the ad plugin, which is installed in bridge.
    If an error occures in the plugin
    I was able to decompile the cmis connector. That helps a lot  when ad logs with weird exceptions.
    Because AD maps the actions of the filebrowser(finder,explorer) to cmis and this one does sometimes the exact action two or more times.
    Unfortunately is wasn't able to fix my main problem, but I found a workaround to use cmis in bridge. I deactivated the ad plugin in bridge and after that action, bride display the cmis volume as normal volume. Sadly some actions like to manage relationships etc. are with this workaround not usable but for me this is alright.

  • Adobe Drive and Alfresco Enterprise Fails to Check-in With Custom Content Types

    Hello all,
    I've been struggling with some drive limitations over the last few weeks as we try to utilize the CMIS connector to Alfresco.  I am currently testing with Adobe Drive 3.2.0.41 and Alfresco 4.0.1 Enterprise but have tested this behavior with Drive 4.0.2.6 paired with Alfresco 4.1.1.3 and seen the same behavior:
    The issue I am seeing is that I am unable to Check in a new document into the repository when there is a rule set up to apply a custom content type from our model.  After entering my check-in comment and pressing OK, I get an unknown error from Bridge, InDesign, or Photoshop.  It works fine if I do not specialize our type with a rule (leaving the content as cm:content).  The error I recieve in Alfresco is:  org.alfresco.service.cmr.repository.CopyServiceException: The source and destination node must be the same type.
    I understand that this might be a limitation of Drive and Alfresco working together, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this issue or any potential workaround, since it is pretty limiting for alfresco to not have any non OOTB content types.
    Thanks, your help would be appreciated.
    Mike

    Adobe Drive CC still has this issue. I can dra-n-drop a .PSD into Alfresco 4.2 and it will work perfectly - unless I use Adobe Drive to edit and check-in the file.

  • Guide to connect Adobe drive with Alfresco CE

    Hallo everybody!
    Since adobe remove version cue, i search for a replacement. Can somebody please write a short  guide how to configurate Alfresco CE to optimal work with adobe drive? Its drive me creasy, bljad! I think, i am not alone with this problem. Feel free to write here everethink, you found about it. Together we find a solution, i think.
    The interest were (after connect Adobe drive to Alfresco CE):
    - how configurate the space, where Alfresco CE saving the files ?
    - how to set permissions to Alfresco CE drive to chek in the files from adobe programms?
    - in bridge i cannot see the thumbnails of files (only the standart thumbs, maby it has something to do with the permission rights?)
    - how can thomebody else from anywhere connect to Alfresco Cmis that is locally on my pc, like earler in versioncue, to callobarate)
    Thanks to everybody for suggestions and help!
    Adobe drive 2.1
    Alfresco CE 3.4

    Hi Borisbritva,
    To work with Adobe Drive, you just need to install and launch Alfresco CE server. No special configuration.
    Section 'Using the CMIS Connector' in CMIS CONNECTOR FOR ADOBE DRIVE 2.1: TECHNICAL NOTE doc shows the detailed steps on how to connect Alfresco server with Adobe Drive 2.1.  Below is the link for the tech note:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/creativesuite/cs/adobedrive/CMIS_Connector_Tech_Note.pdf
    For "how configurate the space, where Alfresco CE saving the files ?" & "how to set permissions to Alfresco CE drive to chek in the files from adobe programms?", I think you need to read Alfresco Document ( http://www.alfresco.com/resources/documentation/ ). For simply try, use admin account to connect Alfresco Server with Adobe Drive. CMIS CONNECTOR FOR ADOBE DRIVE 2.1: TECHNICAL NOTE doc gives the detail info about how to browse, check in, and check out files.
    For "in bridge i cannot see the thumbnails of files (only the standart thumbs, maby it has something to do with the permission rights?)",  Adobe Drive 2.1 with CMIS connector doesn't support it. But Adobe Drive has exposed API to retrieve thumbnails of files. If you have interest, you can download Adobe Drive SDK ( http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobedrive/eula_21.html ) and try it.
    For "how can thomebody else from anywhere connect to Alfresco Cmis that is locally on my pc, like earler in versioncue, to callobarate)", Adobe Drive 2.1 with CMIS connector support it. Just replace 'localhost' with you external IP address in Server URL when connect to Alfresco server.
    Thanks,
    Hui
