EPS files in ID contact sheets

Bridge CS2 on Mac OS 10.3.9
I am trying to produce ID contact sheets generated from Bridge's Tools menu of the images on a number of CDs of product photos, but have run into a snag.
I am having a recurrence of a problem once solved some time ago in that I cannot get the EPS files to print. I can SEE the EPS files in Bridge, but they will not print (unsupported file type or similar message). I know I had this problem some time back and someone provided a fix but I cannot find the old thread, nor understand why the process no longer works (no upgrades), and have forgotten how it was solved anyway (although I recall it was quite simple).
I have searched for a solution but cannot find one and I am hoping that someone knows how to fix it.

Lyn,
You'll need to find AdobeScriptLibrary1.jsx and AdobeScriptLibrary3.jsx and search both files for "contact".
At some place in one or both files will be something like "TYPES_CONTACT_SHEET" . That line will list a bunch of file extensions, just add "eps" to that list and it'll work.

Printing file & caption on contact sheet- Problem seeing full string

I am attempting to print a two column, 4 row contact sheet with file name & caption below the image. I can tweak the cell spacing vertical size slider which reduces the size of the image and can see all the file name & caption, which may be 2-3 lines. I have selected file & caption along with a space after the string in the photo info section on the right and clicked done, then control clicked and saved template settings. I can print that sheet with all info. When I switch to another group of images using that saved template, all I can see is a single line of text. If I slightly tweak the vertical size slider, the image becomes a bit smaller and I can see the full text string, but in order to see full file & caption info, I have to tweak the slider for each sheet. If I go back to the previous group of images, the image is larger, I see a single line of text and I have to re-tweak the vertical size slider. I have a large number of sheets to print with file & caption info. How do I configure settings so I can save the full text string and don't have to tweak each sheet.

Ben3C,
I have found the same problem. What I have done is saved a template with the number of colums and rows desired. I went into the 'Photo Info'under the Page area and using custom set up what I want to be printed below each image. As I said, this is saved as a template. Then when I select a group of images to print I select the previously displayed template. This is when the caption will revert to only one line. Then just select a different template (I usually select the filename. Then reselect your custome template that you built. All the lines of the caption will then show and print. I have printed contact sheets with up to 10 rows of information and Lightroom will automatically resize the image so both the image and caption will fit within the cell area.
Hope this helps -- dbmazz

Editing file names on Contact Sheet created via bridge

The text is overset on thecontact sheets I just made. Four hours into it and I do not want to start over. Maybe my head isn't working, but can I (and how?) change the font size on all these easily. Hoping someone can say "Of Course.... just do this..."

Do a search and have the Find Format find the exact type size, font and leading used in the captions.
Then go to the change format and chage it there.

Eps file quality in Bridge contact sheet

Hi all
Im trying to make a contact sheet of eps files in Bridge, but the quality of the eps' in the final contact sheets are terrible. It doesnt appear to be a dpi issue, more that it appears Bridge is some how using a proxy image instead of the original files to produce the pdf contact sheet. The images look like Quark when the image is missing, jagged and nasty etc.
I have played around with the settings in Bridge as much as it will let me, quality as high as it will go etc. but it doesnt give me the usual pdf creation dialogue box. Do i need to change the settings of the eps' to get a better quality pdf contact sheet?
Any help is much appreciated.

Yes for .eps it is using the image/icon preview. Run an action to save as .ai. In thsi exampel both logos are the same size in illustrator (about 6p pts wide)

Contact Sheet - indd files

How about being able to create contact sheets that include indd files! Creating contact sheets for job folders is kind of pointless for us since it won't do indd files, hmmmm.... InDesign can't make a thumbnail from its own files? This capability would be sweet.
Thanks!

I followed these instructions....................................
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CS5\Adobe Photoshop
Im not using a x64 system.
The ability to create contact sheets and picture packages as a PDF presentation is now available in
Adobe Bridge CS5 Output Module. We highly recommend creating your contact sheets and picture
packages this way. If you would like to continue using the legacy ContactSheetII and/or Picture Package
plug-ins, please follow these steps:
1. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Optional Plug-
Ins/<Windows 32-bit or 64-bit>/ContactSheetII plug-in into the //Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plugins/
Automate folder (this is for both Contact Sheet and Picture Package).
2. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Presets/Layouts folder
into the //Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets folder and restart Photoshop.
Optional: To add this legacy functionality back into Bridge (as a menu item):
1. From the PSCS5OptionalPlugins downloaded folder, drop the //<language>/Optional
plugins/Bridge Startup Scripts/photoshop_contact_sheet_ii folder and the
photoshop_contact_sheet_ii.jsx file into following locations and then restart Bridge.
• Windows Vista and Windows 7: //Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Startup Scripts CS5/Adobe Photoshop/
NOTE: Contact Sheet does not work on Mac 64-bit systems. Please launch Photoshop in 32-bits to
enable functionality

Is there a way to export your photo links from Illustrator (CS6) to a contact sheet?

So I've got this project where I'm making a set of images and placing about 300 photos with each set. In order to avoid duplication and to track which photos were used where, I'm having to take screen shots of the links panel (scrolling down and taking another for each batch of images on each file). This is a really clunky way to track these files and a contact sheet would be a lot easier to work with. Is there a way to export the links to a contact sheet in Illustrator?

- select your images
- open the Document Info Panel, check "Selection Only", "Linked Images" and click on "Save..."

Create Contact Sheet II missing

Hi,
I'm trying to create a contact sheet in CS4 using <File><Automate><Create Contact Sheet II>
The trouble is that <Create Contact Sheet II> is missing from the drop-down menu. This is the first time I've tried this since downloading and installing CS4, but I've done it often using CS3.
How do I find/retrieve this menu option?
Thanks

Please read up on the changes in CS4.
Contact Sheets can be created in Bridge now.
Yes but they are not satisfactory for many reasons.
You can get the legacy plug-ins from the Goodies folder or download them from the Adobe site.

How can I save a contact sheet, rather than printing it?

Windows XP, PSE 8
I've tried printing as a MS XPS Documnet writer, which lets me save a file for single prints, but not contact sheets or picture packages. Thanks for any help.

You'll have to install it. It will then show up as a printer. It creates a pdf file of the contact sheet.

Contact sheet printing from iphoto6

How can i make 7 across a contact sheet use the whole width of paper? Alternatively, can i get titles to print on contact sheet in iphoto5? I can get titles and minute images in iphoto6 and 7 across the sheet with no titles in iphoto5.

What are your Edit > Color Settings?
What are the color spaces of the images themselves and of the contact sheet files?
Do you use the same print settings for the individual files and the contact sheets?

Create InDesign Contact Sheet script not working

I'm using InDesign CS3 and need to create contact sheets for multiple InDesign files. The contact sheets need to have a label with the file name of the document and the page number of each InDesign page in the document.
I tried to use the Tools > InDesign > Create InDesign Contact Sheet command in the Bridge, but get a message: "Selected Files that are not of the correct type will be skipped" After clicking OK, another message appears: "No Files Selected"
I wonder if I'm misunderstanding this script.
I also tried the Print Thumbnails command, but that doesn't allow me to add the file name and page numbers.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions to lead me on the right path.

Due to a prolonged, intense project, I'm just now getting back to the problem of creating contact sheets from InDesign.
I tried the revised script that includes INDD files as suggested by Kasyan, and it works fine.
However, I apologize for not explaining more clearly, but what I really need to do is create a sheet of miniature InDesign pages, similar to what prints out when choosing Thumbnails in the print dialog. Except that I need the bleed area to show.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

File Path in Bridge Contact Sheet?

Does anyone know how to add the complete file path to the caption in Bridge/InDesign contact sheets? I'm using Bridge & InDesign CS3 for Windows. I know I can get all the files in subfolders by using the flattened view in Bridge to make my contact sheet, but I still need to know each image's location once it's on the contact sheet. It seems like this should be pretty a pretty basic task. Any help?

Hi DeNoveau,
I was struggling with this same issue. I found a solution that is somewhat helpful. Not ideal but better than nothing.
1. Create the InDesign contact sheet as you normally would.
2. Choose Window > Automation > Scripts
3. In the Javascript folder, find LabelGraphics.jsx
4. In the panel that comes up, choose File Path
That should do it. As I said, not ideal but better than nothing.

Why do my vector files rasterize when I make a contact sheet in Bridge? How can I change quality?

I am trying to make multiple vector files (Adobe Illustrator) into a PDF contact sheet. In doing this through the Output function of Bridge, the vector files are rasterized into a fuzzy, low resolution versions. I'm able to change the quality of the PDF itself; however, that does not affect how the vector files are rasterized. I can't seem to find any way to change this. I can make a contact sheet in InDesign or rasterize these things myself in Photoshop, but I thought Bridge was suppose to help "bridge" some of these functions and save some time. Has anyone found a workaround or some hidden quality box that I'm missing?

Read this one, has screenshots of directories where you should be. http://forums.adobe.com/message/6032961#6032961?tstart=0#6032961

How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

How do I save my contact sheets as a file instead of printing?

In Aperture 3 there are two print dialogs. The first is Aperture specific. After you finish this dialog the printer specific dialog will open. In the PDF menu choose Save as PDF...
I've forgotten how Aperture 2 works but it has a different print dialog I think. Look for the same PDF menu or a Preview button.

Contact Sheet II from RAW files?

I'd like to be able to use the Contact Sheet II to make a print as early in the composite Workflow as I can, before opening the RAW images in ACR. Is it possible to make a Contact Sheet II while the images are still RAW files? From Bridge 6, they appear in PS 6 as Layers. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

PC users can install CS5 Contact Sheet II plugin into CS6 to get Picture Package back there are 64 bit and 32 bit versions for the PC. Mac users can not install CS5 Contact Sheet II plugin into CS6 for there is only a CS5 32 bit Contact Sheet II plugin for mac and there is only a 64 bit CS6 Photoshop for a mac.

Mac users can use my Photo Collage Toolkit to get the function of Picture Package but it will be slower and use more resources. http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PhotoCollageToolkit.html
