Bridge Cs5 Error: Output to PDF

Bridge Errors are being experienced on all Instances of CS5 installed within our organisation.
We have 7 Workstations ( MAcPro) with various versions of the Adobe Cs5 Suite ( I.e some have adobe Cs5 and AE stand alone installed, While others may have Cs5 Design standard installed)
All of the machine experience the same problem, in that when we try and create a PDF (Output psds and Jpgs from bridge to PDF) we get the following errors;
Having stepped through the normal Bridge troubleshooting guidlines takes us back to being able to launch bridge but apon selecting any future batch or grouping of images, once again return to the errros detailed.
Do any Adobe staff monitor these forums that may be able to advise?
On one of the machines the error is proceeded by

Hi Curt.
Thanks for trying to assist.
No we did not change any folder locations and in actual fact a test case of the process where I am able to replicate ion my laptop follows the steps as follows;
1) Open Bridge
2) Drag network located folder (afp mount in my case) (but clients indicated on the original query are all Fibre) to the bridge application thus opening the location in bridge
3) choose Output and set to create pdf to my desktop or any other local location
4) then recieve the errror regarding no available space ( screen shot provided above)
We are running 10.7.4 across our servers and workstations. I am not sure whether it ever worked correctly in 10.6.8 as I am new to the company, but make the assumption that it was working correctly as it was not a know "bug" or issue that was raised when the team discussed the migration to Lion.

Adobe Bridge CS5, error when creating contact sheet "There is insufficient disk space..."

I am running Bridge CS5 for the first time and I receive this error when attempting to create a contact sheet. "There is insufficient disk space to complete this operation." The image files I am using are web optimized and very small. The error even occurs when attempting one small image. I have gone back to using Bridge CS4 and it works just fine. Any help?
Thanks!

I think I narrowed this down to having a network volume mounted with a share name of "Users". The strange thing is even you if unmount the volume you will still have problems. However, if you avoid mounting the volume entirely (from boot) it will be OK.
The solution, it appears, is to rename the sharepoint to something other than "Users". This worked for us. I'm not sure if it matters whether the server is Windows or Mac OS. In our case the sharepoint was an AFP volume on Mac OS.
We had other errors related to Bridge such as "unable to create folder" and the path in the message appeared to be /Users/currentUser/..... which made no sense at all. However, if Bridge was internally trying to use /Volumes/Users (the mounted sharepoint), it would not only not find "currentUser", but it would not have permissions to create that folder either.
So, another possible solution could be to grant file creation rights on the network volume "Users". Another not-so-great idea.
Hope that helps someone else!

I have Adobe Bridge CS5 and Output is blank

Hi, I am supposed to be making a contact sheet using output in Adobe Bridge CS5 and when I go to output module is NOT working. I contacted Adobe support and they said they couldn't help me but to come here. Can anyone please help me? I have an assignment that I need to get finished!
Thank you so very much,
Heather Mullin

Thank you Robert. I just tried that and output still doesn't show up. I haven't used Bridge since I got this version. I think it is not there. I have heard of this happening in CC and there are answers. People have had trouble with CS5 as well but I can't find an answer. Thank you for trying! I appreciate it so much!

Bridge CS5 error in writing meta data - Can't Add Stars

In trying to rate an image file by adding a star, while viewing from Content window, I can't do it either by clicking on the dots below the expanded thumb or in the thumb view below. Nor does the Ctrl button + 1/2/3/4/5 work.
No matter the file format, jpg, psd, raw or tiff. No matter the folder.
Under Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails, there is no option for checking Show Stars.
Something I must have done, but can't recall how to undue.

Did You ever get a solution? I also cannot rate or apply labels in bridge CS5 with any of the described methods. The files are not locked, the problem is with all types of files (nef, psd, jpeg, tiff). I can modify them in PS without problems. All my files are on an external hard drive. My PS is fully updated. When I ***** on the dots below the file the stars show but immediately disappear when I leave the file. Rating or label do not appear in the filter list, but in edit I can undo rating. I have administrator rigths.
We are the only ones with this problem - I have, howver, failed to see anyone state that the problems is solved.It seems that your thread stopped suddenly. Therefore this message in the hope of reviving it.

Bridge CS5 not previewing all PDF pages

Hi there
After installing CS5 bridge only shows the first 2 pages of PDFs in the preview pane. Older PDFs seem to be ok, just not newly created ones. What am I doing wrong?
I note that there's a preference for this in InDesign for INDD/IDML previews - is there one for PDFs?
Thanks!
Luke

Thanks for your reply Fran, but I think you misunderstood the problem. My biggest annoyance with Bridge is that I need to open a PDF in Acrobat, Preview, or even Quick Look to view more than the first two pages, when I should be able to in Bridge.
I understand for cross-platform reasons you can't rely on OSX's native PDF viewing capability, but come on - Adobe developed the PDF format. Is this too much to ask?
I realise you can change your settings in InDesign so that it embeds previews for all pages, but this bloats your PDF file a LOT. Why cannot Bridge just render PDFs without these InDesign-embedded previews?
At the moment Bridge can't even tell me how many pages there are in a PDF before I open it - it always comes up with '2' if there are 2 or more. Hopeless.
I'd be happy to turn on previewing for all pages in InDesign just for INDD and IDML files as I don't care about the size of these files, but then you get the nasty huge PDF file sizes, even on Smallest File Size export setting. So I have to leave that turned off.
Thanks anyway
Luke

Bridge CS 5 output problem!

I am having a problem with my Adobe Bridge CS5, the output tab is blank, and i can't do anything, i tried a lot of tips that were suggested here but none of them worked!
I am using Vista x64.
Would anyone be kind enough to help me fix that problem? Thank you

That happened to me. It was something to do with installing in International English instead of the default US English. I thought they had fixed that in an update?
If updating it doesn't work, there is a fix for it here:

Bridge CS5 Output to Web & PDF not appearing/ working

Hi there, I'm using Bridge CS5 and the image processor and the output function has stopped working all of a sudden. All the appears is an empty panel in it's place.
I have done some reading through the discussions here and found my start up scripts folder is completely empty.
What can I do to fix this?
Can anyone help please???
Nat

What can I do to fix this?
Quit Bridge and first use Apple Disk utility to check and repair the permissions for your start up disk. After this has been done restart Bridge holding down option (alt) key and choose reset preferences.
When still in trouble also look at PS. Be sure to have all your customized settings, tools brushes and actions etc. saved as a back up so you can easily reload them if needed. The restart PS holding down shiftoptioncmd and also in here choose reset preferences. Again start Bridge holding down option key and again reset prefs. Try again. Could you report back if this worked?

Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images

Why Bridge (CS5) does not make a PDF file from multiple images? It used to work fine earlier, but now nothing happens when using OUTPUT for web or PDF.
I have uninstalled and installed my PS three times allready, so please not suggest that, it didn't help.
I have Creative Suite Premium, mac os x 10.6.8

Hi. You’ve posted your question in a forum that is for beginners trying to learn the basics of Photoshop. I'm moving your question to the Bridge forum for specialized attention to your situation.

Bridge CS4 won't output to pdf multiple images with same filename

Hiya...my googling efforts have thus far failed!
I've got CS4, and in Bridge, I created a New Smart Collection to find all filenames in a folder containing "." or ".jpg" - which in turn searched through all the subfolders like what you used to be able to do in Photoshop CS3. Very simple stuff, but all the images are jpg's, but in multiple folders (I don't want to move them out of the folders, as the files came from an external source, and there are heaps of folders, and I don't want to pdf each subfolder seperately as it will take forever).
The problem is that some of the files have the same filenames (again I'd prefer not to rename, as it happens a lot on this project, and they are all over the place). So whilst Bridge will show the thumbnail images correctly in the content tabbed screen in my New Smart Collection, but once I've done the Output to PDF thing, for example, instead of showing both different images it has pdf only the first image but repeated it twice. And this happens multiple times throughout the pdf, the more times the same filename is used, the more times the first image gets repeated.
I know that it is messy to have multiple similar filenames, but why can't bridge just place the image anyway? It allocated a space for it on the pdf and does show it in bridge, it just doesn't seem to survive the transfer to pdf well.
The only other thing that I have done is use the below link (which was posted on another adobe forum thread) to create a custom pdf output template (nothing too fancy, just number of rows / columns, size, font etc). But I've tried using the standard bridge templates and it does the same thing.
http://www.proficiografik.com/2009/08/03/save-custom-pdf-output-template-in-adobe-bridge-c s4.html
Any help would be appreciated...even if to tell me that I am being unreasonable!
UPDATE 16/11/09
Just to let you know that I seem to have resolved the bug inadvertently with one of the Adobe updates. The below is the link for the AdobeOutputModule-2.1-mul-AdobeUpdate.zip which was released on 2/19/2009 - which allows for headers & footers to be placed in the Ouput pdf. I finally installed it today, and everything seems to be working fine now (i.e. I can pdf multiple images with the same filenames and the pdf will actually show each different image rather than repeating only 1 of the images).
Must have been a fix installed in the contact sheet templates that get installed with the update - not sure why the original version was corrupted, but I've left that with the Adobe guys (I submitted a bug report - and they were able to replicate the problem but hadn't fixed it as yet).

When I click import from disc I am asked to choose a disc and then I get this message:
The following photos will not be imported because they are already present in the catalog. To see these photos in the catalog select 'Show in Library' (the import will be canceled).
This is followed by a long list of images. If I click 'Show in Library' I can see all the images with the same filename. And then they start to automatically write over those images with images from the disc. However they keep the same metadata and keywords from the previous images. If I click on Import and deselect the "don't reimport suspected duplicates" box, it imports only the images that don't share filenames and none of the images that do.
Is there a way of setting the "Don't reimport suspected duplicates" box in preferences?

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Bridge CS5 freezes after error message...."The operation could not be completed, there is not....

Error - The operation could not be completed. Not enough storage is available to complete this operation.
After this happens I have to close Bridge as it is unresponsive to any further commands and I often I have to use the task manager to close it.
I have scoured these boards and the web for a solution and have found others w/ the same problem (even people w/ much more RAM) but have not found a solution beyond the usual advice of changing cache settings, increasing page file, or making sure there is enough hard drive space.
I have two 1TB hdd's w/ over 80% free space on each but I only have 2 GB RAM (all my old motherboard can handle). However, this error message occurs even when Photoshop is not running (only Bridge) and my RAM usage meter shows that I still have plenty of unused RAM available. I did not have this problem w/ Bridge CS4. The error msg. of not enough storage doesn't make since considering the available RAM showing and ample space on the hard disk assigned to the cache (which is a different physical drive than my OS or the Bridge program.)
Here are some of the things I have tried:
reset Bridge preferences at startup, changed the location of the Bridge cache, its size and options, purged the cache, changed the page file size on both drives to the max, defragmented drives, disabled Norton anti-virus, etc.
-What else can I try?
-Would creating a new partition on my 2nd hdd to be used solely for the Bridge cache make any difference and if so, why?
Please help, I am willing to try anything to get this to work. It is a personal challenge at this point.... and I am determined to get Bridge CS5 to work on my machine......
Thanks in advance for any advice or insturctions you may offer!

I am trying to output a PDF gallery from CS6 bridge in 10.8.5 on a Mac. No options are available from the pull-down Output arrow.

Hello,
Although not as simple as it should be you can use a program like "Grab" to take a screenshot of the frame in the preview window in iMovie.

Bridge CS6 freezes when generating PDF output (windows 8)

I am using Adobe Bridge CS6 (64bit) on a Windows 8 machine. I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file. I have to go to the Task Manager to quit. Sometimes the PDF file has been made successfully when I look for it. Other times not.

I have photos that I want to output to PDF. Bridge will freeze in the process of generating the PDF file.
How many files and how big are these files?
What filetype do you use?
Output (as Bridge itself) can be very processor demanding on a big task and enough RAM and free space left on start up disk.
How much RAM and free space do you have?
