Displaying Metadata In Aperture's Pdf Contact Sheet

Hello everyone,
I have been using Aperture's PDF contact sheets. It has a nifty way of showing metadata like caption underneath the photo. My problem is i do not want to display "Caption : TreeStump" I only want to display "TreeStump"
Is there a way of doing this in aperture, or is there a plugin that can do this for me?
Many thanks in advance.
Jay.

I don't see a way of doing it from within aperture.

  • How can I create a PDF contact sheet of photos in finder

    I'm trying to create an automator workflow/action (or service) that will allow me to select a set of photos in the finder and then create a PDF contact sheet that will include the Photo filename. I know that I can select photos and open in preview, but these do not include the filename with the photo in the saved PDF.
    I'm a newbie with Automator, but i gave it a try myself.
    In the Automator PDF Library, there is an action called "New PDF contact sheet", however I can't seem to be able to get it to work. I dragged that action to the workflow and then added "Get Selected Finder Items" before that.
    It appears to run it--an "application"/window appears titled "MakePDF" and it appears to run through the selected photos. However, at the end (after it asks for the file name to save it with), it says that "The action “New PDF Contact Sheet” encountered an error--check the actions properties and try running the workflow again".
    What am I leaving out of the workflow?

    There is a bug in the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action in that it is looking for the Leopard version of a file that moved and changed in Snow Leopard.
    Snow Leopard has a newer version of a support application MakePDF.app in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Automatic Tasks* folder, but as mentioned the *New PDF Contact Sheet* action seems to still require the older version of the application, which in Leopard is located in the */System/Library/Image Capture/Tools* folder. If you have access to a Leopard installation, you can copy the MakePDF.app from Leopard and place it into the same location in Snow Leopard (/System/Library/Image Capture/Tools) - this will get the action working again.

  • How can I save a PDF contact sheet? (for Windows)

    I've searched everywhere but it seems that it's only possible to save a PDF contact sheet on a Mac through the print prompt.. is it not possible to do this somehow in the Windows version?

    I don't know Mac, but on Windows, you have to own a PDF writer (usually a printer driver) which produces PDFs instead of hardcopy prints from any application. There is lots of freeware and buyable products around. The same applies to LR.

  • Automator Action 'New PDF Contact Sheet' returns a blank page

    I'm running into some bugs with Automator again. Seems like with each major OS update, things in Automator gets fixed while other things break.
    This time, the New PDF Contact Sheet action seems to have lost its functionality.
    To recreate the issue, I created a new workflow that , tion input and feeds them right into the single action (new pdf contact sheet), which outputs them to the desktop as a PDF file.
    Every time, the pdf file is just a single blank white page. Am I missing something here?
    Why is such a basic thing getting borked?

    It works for me.  Here's the workflow I setup:
    If the application is open dropping a folder of photos on it won't work. I  get the blank doucment.  One has to use the File ➙ Open menu and select the folder of photos.

  • Where is the Pdf contact sheet in Bridge CC?

    where is the Pdf contact sheet in Bridge CC?

    hey, that is my question as well actually, I know they completely removed the output module from Bridge CC, which is includes the pdf part as well, but it's a possibility to get it back. The official tutorial is here: Install Adobe Output Module but I couldn't fix it. Let me know if you could, thank you!

  • Lightroom 2.2 crashes when creating PDF contact sheet

    I'm trying to create a PDF contact sheet for a client urgently. Contact sheet is 10 pages, 6 columns by 5 rows. Printing at 240 dpi with PDF set to JPG medium. System is windows XP with 3GB RAM & 1GB Video RAM. Most of the shots have had some kind of Lightroom brush adjustment, mainly selective sharpening or selective exposure.
    First page always seems to print out fine. Second page will not print, even if if I try to print just that page.
    Layout is set to show file names and page numbers, print sharpening is off.

    That's the LR 2.2 memory bug. Upgrade it to 2.3 (see top of forum)

  • Automator Make PDF Contact Sheet

    Problems with the Make PDF Contact Sheet workflow/Service in Snow Leopard have been noted, eg
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12138199&#12138199
    The suggested solution is to replace MakePDF.app in Snow Leopard with the previous version of this file. This option is not available to me.
    However I have found that, although I get the error message +The action "New PDF Contact Sheet" encountered an error+, in fact the required pdf has been created, not in the specified folder, but in my Pictures folder - file name 'untitled on [date] at [time]'.
    I hope this may be useful.

    It works for me.  Here's the workflow I setup:

  • New PDF Contact Sheet help

    Hi,
    I am trying to use Automator to create a simple application that takes a set of images and creates a pdf contact sheet.
    When I create an application in automator with the New PDF Contact Sheet action and run it, I get an error "There was an error in processing the images (-2700) in the log. What gives - how do I solve this error? This is the only action, aside from the "Get Specified Finder Items" action.
    Oddly, it seems that the contact sheet pdf is getting created and placed in the Pictures folder. But the final result of a pdf in the location specified by the action is not getting created.
    Thanks

    I have found a work around solution, which i think maybe the origin of the problem. You will need to also install a work flow app called Life-Poster. by Jim Heid. Below is the link.
    When i installed that and used the New PDF Contact Sheet a noticed a new app in the doc called MakePDF. And the rest of my workflow worked perfectly as it did in Leopard. It seems that apple has either left out this makePDF app out of snow leopard or made a change to it in some way it is not recognized or called properly in the New PDF Contact Sheet Action.

    Good luck hope it works for you like it did for me.

  • Blank pdf contact sheet using Image Capture

    I have tried using image capture to create a .pdf contact sheet of 12 jpgs but when I open the file it is blank.
    Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong please?

    Try with a resolution of 75 or 150.
    Also when printing there are options to "fit to 1 page". The recipient should do that.

  • PDF Contact Sheet

    How do I set the distance between pictures when I make a PDF Contact Sheet. I don't want the filename showing and I want to make the pictures closer together.

    Turn off Auto-Spacing in the Layout panel and uncheck Filename in the Overlays panel.
    It's a bit hit or miss but you can keep refreshing the preview till you get it how you want it.
    (I assume you are talking about Bridge CS4.)

  • Creating pdf contact sheets at screen resolution using aperture/photoshop

    Can anyone advise me on how to create a pdf document of contact sheets- low resolution [72 screen res]that is less time consuming than the present work flow described below?
    At present I export jpegs 450pxl 72dpi from aperture. create contact sheets in photoshop and then
    create a pdf in photoshop. Average number of images per client is approx 800-1000,
    The pdf I have created with aperture has a resolutuin of 300dpi- which is a large file to email etc. I have tried reimporting the 450pxl jpegs but aperture still creates the document at 300dpi.
    Is it possible ...
    1/. to solely use aperture to create low res pdf's
    2/. If not is it possible to create an action in photoshop [or use automator] to speed up the process described above?
    I do have a little experience using actions in photoshop but am by no means an experienced user.

    Awesome! I didnt even know aperture could do that
    Now another quick question on this topic, if im using RAW files, does aperture need to convert the file to jpeg or tiff (like it does if you export version as jpeg)?
    If it does, that may be a problem as it takes forever for aperture on my macbook to convert raws and save as jpegs, like a good minute or two per photo, and if i have 200odd photos....not good, people will crack it waiting and leave.
    Or does it print as raw? Cause im pretty sure my printer (or any printer) can not print raw files. Will try it tonight on my printer but a heads up will be useful.
    I could just shoot in hi-res jpeg, but id rather shoot raw incase they want a large poster size print etc.
    Thanks.

  • Automator: How to create a PDF contact sheet?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create a PDF from multiple images in automator. The PDF should contain:
    First Page: A contact sheet with all images
    Following pages: One page for each image
    Any idea how to achieve this? I don't even get the contact sheet working – it always results in a blank PDF.
    Kind regards
    Jan

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately the intructions in the link don't work (did it exactly like this -> result is an empty PDF). I learned now from other posts that this is a Mavericks specific issue, which seems to be unsolved.
    Apart from this: Do you think my request is solvable at all? Because the output of the contact sheet module would be the contact sheet iteslf (if it worked). I can't use this to create the full sized PDF pages, right?

  • Create a PDF contact sheet - What is the PDF preset?

    Hello
    When I create contact sheet, it creats a pdf but I don't understand what is the pdf preset.
    Is it for screen? print? where can I see or change it if at all?
    thanks

    when i export to pdf from indesign i decide which preset i need: pdf x1a, or screen, or print etc.
    You're practically answering your own question, Shlomit.  Those are InDesign "presets", unrelated to Bridge. 
    In Bridge you can create Page Presets and define the "Quality" (Bridge nomenclature) of the PDF.  See images below.
    Additionally you can further edit and resave any PDF in Acrobat.
    It's always a good idea to read the documentation, consult the Help files and explore the application.

  • Why did Adobe get rid of making nice neat PDF contact sheets directly in Bridge??

    I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever! It is VERY important at my job to make contact sheets, we need them to go through hundreds of pictures. Why can't you just bring back making it straight in Bridge? It was so much faster and convenient. I cannot afford to wait while Photoshop generates 50 pages of 8 thumbnails for me as it ties up my computer, not to mention the steps to convert those files into one nice pdf. It is incredibly frustrating!  Just makes no sense Adobe would do this??

    I know there is an output module, but it is not really any help! It still uses photoshop to create multiple seperate PSD files and takes forever!
    Not sure I understand your problem but I guess you have Bridge CC and now you don't have the option to use the Adobe Output Module? The output module you are talking about is the old contact sheet script that indeed produces loose sheets (PSD, but also jpeg) and can take a while depending on your settings.
    But you still have the option to install the Output Module for Bridge CC again, but you have to do it yourself, it can be downloaded via this link but you should first read the instructions carefully because it needs some attention. With the Output module you can use Bridge again to create PDF documents with many pages and custom lay out.:

  • PDF Contact Sheet Spacing

    I managed to get the soacing between the pictures the way I wanted them (left to right), but I can't get the pictures closer together from top to bottom. I tried changing all the numbers but it made no differance in getting them closer top to bottom.

    You need to experiment as I said in the other thread. (You didn't need to start a new one!).
    Personally I don't think much of that module and use Contact Sheet X found here: http://csx.riaforge.org/
