Output PDF - Bridge Quits if Filename Overlay is Selected

Bridge CS4 - Leopard - Macbook Pro 2.6 gHz
Bridge successfully outputs a PDF contact sheet so long as 'Overlay' with the file names is NOT checked. As soon as that feature IS checked, Bridge processes the new contact sheet but then quits during the ultimate phase of 'creating PDF.'
RAM checks good; fonts are ok by Font Book; reinstall of PS CS4 and Bridge no help.
Adobe rejected a bug report saying this is a 'support' issue. So be it. This is a crucial failure! Help.
NOTE: On this Macbook we also use VMWare Fusion + Windows XP with no difficulty. Under the XP OS Bridge and PS CS4 perform perfectly. Bridge Output will create a PDF contact sheet, WITH File Name Overlay. Does not quit.
H.E.L.P

In fact, I have finally resolved the problem. I'll list what I did, although which of these actions did the trick I don't know.
I UN-installed Photoshop/Bridge CS4 using the Adobe un-installer.
I manually trashed every Photoshop or Bridge file I could locate in User and System Libraries under Preferences, Adobe, Application Support, or any other occurrence.
I repaired disk permissions, restarted in Single User Mode, and Performed fsck -fy to repair the startup disk file structure. A couple of repairs were logged. I repeated the procedure after a restart.
I reinstalled Photoshop CS4, this time from an installer disk image on an external Firewire disk. I inserted the serial numbers for the CS4 Upgrade, and when requested, the CS2 Full serial number from the previous version.
At that point Bridge successfully completed a PDF output of a proof sheet, or any configuration of output media I selected.
After Updating the Adobe apps, Bridge continues to work correctly.

  • Whats happened to output in Bridge CC??

    Please tell me that the only way to make a pdf is not via the god awful contact sheet II tool as its slow and much more limited ... its just taken me 20 mins to do something I usually do in 1!! not very happy at the moment as I removed bridge cs6 from my system assuming that the newer version would be better!

    ok solved the problem myself .... for anyone else in the same boat you can add the output module yourself .... why its not there in the first place adobe only knows (stupid if you ask me) anyway follow the bellow link and you'll find the download and instructions of how to add it to bridge cc

  • Placed .png files in look blurry in InDesign CS6 & output PDF

    I'm brand new to InDesign...just learned it yesterday. I'm using CS6. However, I think I'm following best practices as I've watched many instructional videos and have a folder of images I'm using in the document which I place in the document using "File" -> "Place." I've both put them into frames that already exist (and used "Object" -> "Fitting" and often "Fit frame proportionally" but also other commands) as well as without a frame where I drag a window the size I'd like the file to be after I've loaded up my cursor using "File" -> "Place."
    I'm at a loss as my files are 72 DPI and 144 DPI (I'm on a Mac and have checked them out both in Photoshop and using "Tools" -> "Inspector" in Preview) and I have NO idea why they look so terrible in both InDesign and my output pdf! I'm attaching both the files I'm placing and screenshots of what they look like in the output .PDF.
    Thanks SO MUCH for any help anyone can give me--I'm working on an urgent project and must figure this out!

    This info was quite helpful--thanks everyone!
    First of all, I'm not entirely sure I chose the right tool for this job, and advice on this would be welcome. I wanted a document of portfolio pages formatted sort of like a book, so I thought it would be better to use InDesign rather than something like Photoshop or Illustrator (I've learned these tools in the last year but haven't really used them to create documents). My primary goal, however, was to present this information both from my computer and on my website, and a secondary goal was for it to be able to print nicely. So I thought InDesign was the right choice. (I read this article from 2010: Adobe Photoshop vs. Illustrator vs. Indesign | Dream Infinity Studios / Chris Takakura | Art Direction + Design to get some guidance...hopefully most of it is still relevant.) Because of that I wasn't sure whether to use "Intent" -> "Print" or "Intent" -> "Web", so I went with web with a 1024 x 768 page size, hoping that will look OK for desktop (not professional) printing. What do people do when they want something to function in both domains? Not sure if that could have affected anything about the way these images were placed...
    In terms of finding a solution:
    1. I was using High Quality Display--it was more an issue with my output document. (Though strangely sometimes when I toggle between high-quality & typical displays, sometimes things that looked good when I was working on them in high quality, after toggling to typical and back, look horrid.)
    2. It seemed at first that it might be an issue of the way I placed the files, e.g. I was positioning my cursor OUTSIDE any sort of field and dragging a square to the size I wanted my image to be. I'm wondering if it somehow reduced the image size because if I create the square using the "Rectangle Frame Tool" it seemed to work much better. I've also tried just dropping the file without the frame tool and resizing it that way, but my images are actually VERY long & wide, so that's difficult. I was also wondering the "fitting" option I chose may have been affecting the display...I've been trying "Fitting" -> "Fit Content Proportionally" lately.
    3. I created some .pdfs of some of the pings from Omnigraffle, and that seemed to help, but that actually makes them look worse because there are screenshots within the OmniGraffle mock-up files which are washed out and pixelated and the text that was added on top stands out too much (see attached screenshot...the one on top is a PDF and the header and footer looks funny and the bottom is a PNG where at least everything looks consistent).
    So though some files look better now (especially, ironically enough, the 72 DPI screenshot of Use Cases!), I can't figure out what process I should follow to get consistently good results. Because a) the mockup files look good when I first paste them, and b) they are longer and wider than the content area I'm using and I'm shrinking them significantly, I cannot figure out why I can't keep that level of detail after they've been shrunk to fit. I keep wondering if I'm placing image properly, shrinking them properly, or those Fitting settings properly...

  • Output PDF on file system? (EBS)

    Hi all,
    When you run a BI Publisher report with a concurrent program, is the output PDF stored somewhere on the file system? (Where..) Thanks in advance!
    Best Regards, Matilda Smeds

    Thanks for the replies! I had found the out-file (xml file) previously. I wasn't aware that there was a separate table for the final outputs, though it is quite essential knowledge. Also, it is good to know the pdf also resides on the file system. Thanks again, to both of you.
    Best Regards, Matilda

  • How to remove the extra space in the output pdf file?

    Hi All
    In our RTF layout template we have both static content and dynamic content.
    In RTF template we have used many if-else,choose,For each loops.
    On the account of that,In the output pdf file, we are getting lot of empty space in the place of that coding(if-else,choose,For each loops).
    Is there anyway to reduce the space in the output pdf file?
    Please suggest some ideas.
    Thanks in Advance.

    White space is NOT your friend!
    Make sure you don't have any unwanted whitespace between commands and especially tagged on the end of lines. Chain your commands together with no whitespace and let them wrap, do not enter carriage returns.
    Cheers,
    Dave

  • How to get the output .pdf file of a quiz to report to the quiz results analyzer on my internal server (mamp)

    I created a quiz.
    Created an internal server on my compute rising a MAMP.
    When I publish my quiz using the multi-file publishing options...
    I am able to use both the "HTML" and the "swf" output files to complete a quiz and reporting the results to the quiz results analyzer.
    However, I am unable to get the output .pdf field to reporting to the quiz results analyzer.
    Any help? Would this issue have to do with the Acrobat Professional setting? Captivate setting? My internal server setting? or output fuel placement?
    I tired to put the .pdf file in the same MAMP root folder location as my "internalserverreporting.php and internalserverread.php files.
    Thanks for the help.

    Hello Varun,
    You cqan submit the report as a JOB and export the out put to memory, once the job is complete you can read the list to display the output.
    Cheers,
    Mano
    Cut & Paste form SAP help.
    Submit report ....
    EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
    Does not display the output list of the called report, but saves it in ABAP memory and leaves the called report immediately. Since the calling program can read the list from memory and process it further, you need to use the addition ... AND RETURN . Also, since the called report cannot be requested for printing, the addition ... TO SAP-SPOOL is not allowed here. In addition, you must not assign a function code to the ENTER key in the current GUI status. The saved list is read from the SAP memory using the function module 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY' and can then be saved to the database using EXPORT, for example. You can process this list further with the function modules 'WRITE_LIST', 'DISPLAY_LIST' ... of the function group "SLST".

  • I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics

    I am using a code based typesetting program (not WYSISYG) that outputs PDFs. I am producing 100 plus pages that have multiple graphics on each page. I need to know how to format a PDF command that I can incllude in my programming that will tag my graphics with "Alternative Text".
    I know that with a Microsoft product graphics can be tagged before a PDF is made. I need to know how to do this with my programming.

    The Acrobat SDK might be a starting point.
    From there, perhaps a plug-in (built with C+).
    Perhaps with a licensed release of a PDF Library (this could be $$).
    The viable and cost effective alternative is use the tried and true.
    Authoring in an appropriate authoring application with appropriate tag management.
    Example:  Adobe InDesign; Adobe FrameMaker or MS Word with PDFMaker (comes with install of Acrobat).
    This way you place "Alternative Text" when mastering content in the authoring file.
    Going the route and with some look-see (research) you may find programmatic approaches to placing the alt txt in the authoring file.
    Note: as discussed in the Matterhorn Protocols there is no programmatic method that provides a fully accessible PDF (specifically, that is an ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant PDF).
    Regardless, here you have a sub-forum for discussions on Acrobat usage.
    Consequently discussions on/of 3rd party software is rather out of scope eh.
    Be well...

  • SAP Digital signature solution in Invoice output PDF document

    Hi,
    We are trying to POC SAP Digital signature solution for Invoice output pdf document based on the OSS note 700495 implemengtation guide.
    - Defining the log structure and database table.
    - Defining signature single step and authorization group and assignment.
    - Completed the configuration steps including system signature with authorization by SAP user id and password.
    - Release strategy and Archiving NOT implemented for this solution as they are not required as of now.
    Checked the above settings using DSIG_BOOKING_EX sample program and the same executed successfully without any errors and we can see the result 'Signature process was successfully completed by user XXXXXX'. Also we can view the signature log in DSAL Transaction.
    Similar to the sample program code, Implemented the signature call in user exit ZXMCVU05(EXIT_SAPLMCS6_001) for Invoice output digital signature during VF01 create transaction.
    In the process signature call processed successfully but the output PDF document does not have any signature.
    Please let me know why digital signature NOT applied to invoice output pdf file. Is there any other process that need to be done?
    Also if you have implemented any similar solution, please provide me the details on the same.
    Thanks!

    Ritwika,
    Are the User Name and Password correct?  Is the User assigned to the SAP_XMII_User role in Netweaver?  On the iCommand's Security screen, is the SAP_XMII_User assigned as a Reader role?
    Have you checked the Netweaver log?  There may be more detailed information there.
    Kind Regards,
    Diana
