Automate - Pdf Presentation

This works fine in PS CS3, now in CS5 is gone. Please give us back because using Bridge CS5 to make a multipage PDF is not as fast as it was with pdf presentation. We need to see thumbnails of files, select them, select output style... if we want a file two times we need to hardcopy the file.
I read other user asking for this feauture to be back... so, will it be back?

Yes I support this. The ability to create multiple page PDF's directly from Photoshop should never have been removed.
Looks like at one point someone in management at Adobe had the smart idea that Bridge would be some kind of 'hub' that every user would see the sense in using. A kind of asset management alternative to the Operating System. Never really took off. Why?- because the OS got considerably better at previewing images and assets. Well for some of us. And Bridge itself had too much overhead.

Automate PDF Presentation stopped working

I use the Automate -> PDF Presentation function all the time, and it suddenly isn't doing anything. It lets me into the dialogue to set everything up, and it looks normal, but when I hit "save" nothing happens. I've tried going back to files I've used in the past to create multi-page PDF documents and still nothing.
I have Photoshop 3 v. 10.0.1 for Macintosh OS X 10.6.6 and Adobe Reader 8.2.6
Thanks for any help.

How can I make the image number biger in a PDF presentation?

How can I make the original image number, biger, located on the lower part of the picture in a PDF presentation so people don't have to zoom in 50% or 100% in order to see number of each picture in a automate PDF presentation. Thank you for your help

When a document is signed, the signer has the option of locking the document. The links won't be active if the document is locked, so to avoid this, instruct the signer not to lock when signing.

CS2 Error message.= The command "pdf presentation" is not available at this time.

CS2 and Bridge will not make any pdfs'
CS2 has been un-installed and re-installed twice from disc without solving problem.
I will download CS2 from Adobe as my next step, however my CS2 disc would have to be de-activated and there is no activation server for CS2 anymore.

Does anyone have any solutions to bring back "pdf presentation"?
Also, is there a way to upgrade the raw plugin folder to be able to read the current raw formats?
Thank you

Did if ever work since putting cs2 on windows vista?
Does the pdf presentation work if you invoke the command in photoshop proper instead of bridge?
File>Automate>PDF Presentation.
I really don't think using the adobe cs2 download will make any difference as either your bridge and/or photoshop preferences could be corrupted
and you should try resetting those as they are not reset during a unistall/reinstall of cs2.
Reset photoshop preferences:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
Reset bridge preferences:
Reset Bridge by holding Option(Mac) or Ctrl (Pc) as soon as you click on the icon to start it.
ADD - If done properly you will get a reset window with 3 options.

CS4/CS3 PDF Presentation

Installed CS4 Production Premium about a month ago. Recently went to File--Automate--PDF Presentation and it is missing. Should have read the forums before I got CS4! So I confidently went back to Photoshop C3 Extended and started to do a series of PDF Presentation document builds. My one page "documents" went fine. Had two multi-page documents. Go thru the menus ok and even see the page by page presentation during the document build and then no error. Come to find out, all the multi-page files have the proper "name.pdf" but have a file size of zero. Now this never happened prior to installing CS4.
Q1. Did the installation of CS4 actually remove function from the installed Photoshop CS3?
Q2. What happened to all the Photoshop CS3 plug-ins? Don't see any way to get a listing in CS4.
Maybe I missed it but was all the function removal from CS3 with CS4 ever described in the "What's New in CS4" documentation?

>What happened to all the Photoshop CS3 plug-ins? Don't see any way to
>get a listing in CS4
As discussed many times: Several features have been moved to Bridge, others are still available via an optional install from your content disc.
>Did the installation of CS4 actually remove function from the >installed Photoshop CS3?
No, but it may have updated the globally shared PDF libraries so they are no longer compatible with what the particular script/ tool expects.

Missing menu items in CS4 - PDF Presentation

I downloaded the 30 day trial of CS4 and I can't make a PDF presentation (which I do daily in CS2). There should be a menu item in Photoshop under automate and from Bridge, under tools, Photoshop, PDF presentation. I read through the documentation for CS4 and they should be there... why aren't they? I need this tool any ideas why it's missing in CS4 for me?

In another thread, this relevant exchange between myself, Anne and Rene occurred on this very subject. Had I known, I would have posted here instead. Ms. Guo, if you are indeed listening, consider putting this one back...because, specifically with open Photoshop files, it can't be pulled off in Bridge. Jbeezer points out another major problem:
"There is no control over compression and it yields a much larger PDF as in over 5x for my previous example."
Here is the earlier exchange:
Anne said:
"And it isn't called "Automate->PDF Presentation" in CS4 either.
It has been replaced by a multi-page PDF that you create from Bridge CS4's Output Panel and then edit in Acrobat Pro if you need to finesse transitions etc.."
I said:
I did find that in my hunt. It doesn't work anywhere near as quickly or as well as it did in PS CS3. Not even close. It can't deal with open PS documents (at least I couldn't find a way) and it can't be set to completely remove the "jpg'ing". I tried for a few hours to get it to output a decent PDF within Bridge and just gave up. Moving over to Acrobat Pro to "fix" pretty much negates the whole Bridge step. It's actually faster to completely skip Bridge and just make a PDF directly in Acrobat Pro.
There was no reason to remove this function at all. It wasn't broken and it didn't need fixing. Yet another reason to keep PS CS3 resident...particularly because the PS CS3 parameters actually does this trick (PDF from open PS images) faster and with better quality than Acrobat Pro does with saved/converted PDF files ...in one easy step. When you get right down to it, the function Automate>PDF Presentation wasn't moved over to Bridge. It was removed.
Rene said:
"For more info, see "Where did Extract & others features go?"
http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/10/where_did_extra.html"
I said:
That's funny. There is no other information on Automate>PDF presentation in Nack's blog:
* Picture Package, Contact Sheet, Web Photo Gallery, and PDF Presentation have been replaced by the new Output module in Bridge CS4. Of these the first three are in the optional download package, while PDF Presentation no longer works in CS4.
* In CS4 we made some hard calls and retired a number of features. Some of these can be added back into CS4 (see Mac & Windows downloads) while others are gone for good."
"Gone for good" applies here.

Photoshop/Bridge CS4 PDF Presentation Update or Plug-in

Full Parameter PDF Presentation is essential for me.
PDF Presentation (as in Photoshop - Bridge CS2 and CS3) with panels for selection of presentation prameters and saving with various levels of jpeg compression and image quality, presets and output color conversion, etc. . This was not only a very useful feature, but has become a required component of my workflow over the past three years. This to shoot all imaages in RAW, upload files to Bridge, develop a wide range of selected images with Camera RAW and then produce a PDF slide show of 20-25 'proofs' while still in Bridge with a size of 10-15MB that can be emailed to various recipients for review and final selection. Final selections are then fine truned in Photoshop for printing. While some of the improvements in CS4 are useful, CS3 at present is more satisfactory and remains more useful than the CS4 upgrade. Addition of this feature as an update or legacy plug-in (the basic componets exist in CS4) would be more than acceoptable and allow me to complete the upgrade to CS4. Your attention and help will be very much appreciaated!

APOLOGIES!!!
I just found it......
Using the Adobe Output Module script, you can create Adobe PDF contact sheets and presentations in Adobe Bridge. Contact sheets let you easily preview and catalog groups of images by displaying a series of thumbnails on a single page. PDF presentations let you use a variety of images to create a multipage document for slide show presentation. You can set options for image quality in the PDF, specify security settings, and set the document to open automatically in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat. You can also add the filename as a text overlay below each image in the PDF.
1. Select the files or the collection or folder that contains the images you want to include in the contact sheet or presentation.
2. Choose Window > Workspace > Output.
If the Output workspace is not listed, select Adobe Output Module in Startup Scripts preferences.
Adobe Bridge displays the Output panel at the right side of the window and the Folders panel at the left. The Content panel with your selected photos appears at the bottom of the window, and the Preview panel appears in the middle.
3. In the Output panel, select PDF.
4. Choose a layout option from the Template menu.
5. With your photos selected in the Content panel, click Refresh Preview to view the contact sheet in the Output Preview panel.
Note: The Output Preview panel displays only one PDF page.
6. Customize the appearance of the contact sheet by specifying options in the Document, Layout, Overlays, and Watermark areas of the Output panel.
7. (Optional) Change the images in the PDF by navigating to them in the Folders or Favorites panel, and then selecting them in the Content panel. You can also use the Preview panel to preview the images and refine your selection. Drag thumbnails in the Content panel to rearrange the order of the images on the page.
8. Click Refresh Preview at any time to update the PDF and see the changes in the Output Preview panel.
9. For presentations, specify the following options in the Playback panel:
Open In Full Screen Mode
Opens the PDF in full-screen mode in Adobe Acrobat.
Advance Every [x] Seconds
Specifies how long each image is displayed before the presentation advances to the next image. The default duration is 5 seconds.
Loop After Last Page
Specifies that the presentation automatically starts over after reaching the end. Deselect this option to stop the presentation after the final image is displayed.
Transition
Specifies the transition when moving from one image to the next. Choose a transition from the Transition menu. Depending on the transition, you can also specify a Direction and a Speed.
10. If youd like to automatically open the PDF in Acrobat after you save it, select View PDF After Save at the bottom of the Output panel. Otherwise, just click Save.
11. In the Save (Windows) or Save As (Mac OS) dialog box, enter a name for the PDF, select a destination for the saved file, and then click Save.

Page order in PDF Presentations

I am using Photoshop to clean up and edit multi-page PDF files. By the time I import the PDF, and go to export it again by creating a PDF presentation, the page order is backwards. This can be very time consuming to fix by dragging the pages on the bottom to the top over and over (I do this after clicking "Automate" then "PDF Presentation". Is there any way around this?

Hi rainbowbowral,
To reorder pages, you need the full version of Acrobat. If you'd like, you can download a free 30-day trial from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.
Best,

Photoshop Help | Contact Sheets and PDF Presentations in CS6

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/contact-sheet-pdf-presentation-cs6.html

If I understand your question you want to repeat one image 8 times in one signle page PDF. I do not know for such script that is available. What I can recommend you is to create manually layout in Photoshop and save as PDF. To automate proccess and use same layout but to replace image which is in use with some other, you can use Variables or Actions. Thats only advice I can give you at this time. Actually easiest way to automate things and replace images is to Create Smart Object then to clone it 7 times (Ctrl + J or right click > Duplicate Layer). When you have cloned Smart Objects, replacing content in one of Smart Object will reflect to all other clones. Create layout. When you want to replace existing image with some other use right click on Smart Object > Replace Contents or Layer > Smart Objects > Replace Contents.. Be aware of image (which will replace existing) size and resolution, Photoshop will also scale image which will replace existing to match existing image scaling in percentage. Read this tutorial for more explanation how Replace Contents works http://adobephotoshopsecrets.blogspot.com/2011/01/replace-contents-command-in-adobe.html

Re: Create a PDF presentation slideshow output file in CS5

Upgraded from CS2 to CS5. In CS2, this was an Automate option - presentation I think. All you had to do was drag the PDF photos together, select the presentation options and bingo. Then I could e-mail the presentation file. Can't find anything like this in CS5.

Zeno - Thanks for the help. Am almost there. Am able to create a contact sheet slideshow presentation but don't see an option for a slideshow presentation where each photo shows individually on a slide. The contact sheet has multiple pictures per slide.

Looping pdf presentation

How do you loop a pdf presentation. In the "automate" module there's a button that says "loop". I click on it, but when I put the PDF on a disk so it can be run on other computers, the looping doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Look at the Full-Screen options in the Preferences dialog box.

CS3 PS PDF files for PDF Presentation . . . help!!!!

I have made PDF presentation in previous versions of PS through automate or using Bridge. I used both jpeg and PS generated PDF files to create the presentation and never had a problem. I used the same file size and format to create a new presentation (section and title sheets with type) and could not get the pdf to view to be crisp and clear. I remade the base psd file to be twice the size, created PS PDFs and Bridge says it can't utilize the files. I've tried everything!! Does anybody know what the best format is for a PS based doc to be made into pdfs for a presentation????

Resolution problem with pdf presentation from CS4 in Bridge

I have CS4 and am consistently having problems creating multipage pdf files using Bridge; though they are created using 300 dpi files in Photoshop CS4 the resulting multipage pdfs from Bridge are not print quality. I never had a problem with this before Bridge was required to create pdf presentations. The files used to create the presentation in Bridge are either psd or Photoshop pdf at 300 dpi. I am completely self-taught in Photoshop and my skill level is moderate at best, but I am not finding anything to help me so far in searching google and forums. Does anyone have any info to point me in the right direction? thanks-

Have you applied all the updates for photoshop cs4 including this one:

Hi Sara!
Yes this sounds interesting. Can I update to that from the PDF Export I have just renewed? How much would that cost?
Thanks for your quick answer.
