Spread preview, not individual preview CS5

Hey Everyone!
Is it possible to get indesign to save preview like what it used to do with spreads rather than the first page and then you preview them like a PDF file always has in bridge.
This image should explain it a bit better.
We can't EASILY see weather or not the second page on the spread is completed or not!
Please help!!!!
Thanks in advanced.
Michael.

When we PDF we need the 5mm of bleed to be on the left side (not right) for a left page and right (not left) for a right page, and I guess having it as a spread makes it easier to know if it's a right or left page without needing to think about odd and even page numbers for left and right pages.
We also don't export, we use  + PRINT. Screen shot below.
See now why we use spreads...? It outputs a .PS file to be distilled.
Back when we required crop marks it took 5mm of bleed off all sides so if something happen to come to the edge from the opposite page it had to take 5mm, another reason for the spreads (back in the day).
We PDF as single pages so if there is a problem from our end after sending to the printer it can fixed with only re-PDF'ing one page... They're aren't really a slob, just one of the biggest printers in Australia... hahaha
About 15 people have to access around 104 pages over 3-4 days so we can't put everything into one file like a book (If thats what you mean). Especially when many designers are working at once, reps dropping content on pages and sub editors editing.

Spread Previews in Bridge

I posted a comment/rant about an InDesign feature that was taken away in CS5 in a discussion that focuses soley on Photoshop (See below.) I didn't realize I had done that until today, so I'm reposting it with the hope that someone on the InDesign team at Adobe will read it. The feature that was eliminated was the ability to preview InDesign spreads in Bridge.
I now realize this issue was caused by a change to InDesign and not Bridge as I first thought. I also no longer feel those responsible for making the change should be fired. However, taking a long time out should be considered. Wait, I take that back. This problem wasn't fixed in CS6, so I'm leaning towards my original suggestion.

My original post:
I'm beyond frustrated with Adobe because of this issue. The person(s) who decided to eliminate this feature in CS5/CS5.5 should be fired. Seriously. I realize this is most likely a Bridge issue and not an InDesign one, but these two applications used to work side by side in a way that I, a catalog designer, found extremely useful. I always thought the intention of updating software (and not inexpensive software, I might add) meant new, useful features were being added, not eliminated. I hear Quark is making a comeback. If Adobe keeps selling me downgrades marketed as upgrades, I might have to jump ship.

We just started testing Cs6 and are finding out the hard way that there is no spread preview in Bridge.. Did you find a work around?
We are a small publisher and use bridge to be able to count pages, see what is finished and not.. and to speed up general layout of the magazine..
I guess we are going to have to go back to Cs4.. because this really bites.. I notice some one said somewhere about a plugin Sneakpreview.. but i have not been able to find it.. Oh we are still working on Win xp pro..

Spread Preview for Bridge

I think it is essential that the option to view the thumnbails of InDesign documents within Bridge is returned. Or at the very least an option within the Display Performance Preference to check on Spread Preview or Single Page Preview. It is unbelieveable how much my entire workplace misses that feature since upgrading to CS5.

"Always High Quality" is checked, and "Generate 100% Previews" is unchecked.
(I'm currently writing a program that pulls or creates a thumbnail based upon a variety of file types. I've learned how to use XMP to extract the thumbnail from an .indd file (and others). I was hoping to be able to grab larger thumbnails from files like .ai's, especially since I see that Bridge can do it.)

How do you reorder the pages in a PDF ie back to front (not individually via Page view)

Sorry if this is in the wrong place or if this has been answered elsewhere but I couldn't seem to search "the database"
How do you reorder the pages in a PDF ie back to front (not individually via Page view). The manual solution of course is to scan or import them in the correct order in the first place. However, this did not happen, and we have many PDF's which are 100% in the wrong order. So we would like to press a button and have them in the right order.
Many thanks in advance for your help...

Got it to work. It returned a completely different path of course just to make life interesting and required a FN+OPTION ENTER in order to return the path. I now have the FLATTEN option in the edit menu.
Just trying it checking all the Flatten options except the fields seemed to work on the first pass. I'm going to try and load a copy of the original complete document. I assume that is the proper way to use this at this point since I created the form ***-backwards?
I've used Adobe layout programs since the Aldus days but Acrobat seems to work differently than any other program I've used.
If I understand what you're saying I should:
1. Design the layout of the form leaving spaces for the fields
2. Open Acrobat, import the document
3. Auto-add and correct, or manually add the fields
4. Fix tabbing
5. Add any additional comments or annotations
6. Flatten everything but the fields? (If the fields are flattened I can't fill out the form unless it's supposed to be a printed form only, right?)
Might just have to break down and RTFM. Acrobat is a really different animal.

Alternatively, install & use RawTherapee instead to develop your raw files instead (free and open source).

Yes, hopefully all you need to do is go to Help>Updates in photoshop cs5 and get camera raw 6.7

Camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700.

camera raw 7.2 will not install within CS5.5, but need it to read nrw files from P7700. Besides DNG Converter, what can I do to use files directly?

Your next option is to upgrade photoshop. If you can't afford the full version (less than $20/month) you could get elements, it uses the latest version of camera raw, but I think it is a stripped down version though.

Lightroom 3 does not see Photoshop CS5 as Primary EXTERNAL editor

After removing prior versions of Lightroom (2.7) and Photoshop (CS4), Lightroom 3 does not recognize Photoshop CS5 64 bit or 32 bit as the PRIMARY external editor. I can select the file and edit in the proper file, but the other options are greyed out.

Missing Registry entry caused by uninstalling CS4 AFTER installing CS5.

Hmm....
It all smells like third party software conflict. Can you think of any candidates for third party stuff that interacts with mail, attachments, the file system?

Related files not showing in CS5

In Dreamweaver CS4, files related to the source file (for example, source file: index.php, related file referenced in source file: index.css) are shown just below the source file name in the toolbar above code/design view, but related files are not shown in CS5. In CS5, clicking in the main menu "View" -> "Related Files" shows "(No Related Files)." but index.css is a related file. Was this an intended change in CS5 or am I not understanding what a related file is?

Hi David,
I've completely lost my Related Files toolbar.
And when I edit my stylesheet and click ENTER, I get the following error message:
"An unexpected error occurred while trying to read style-sheet information."
Please advise.

24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion

Problem: 24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion. 30 frame will play fine. I took the same 24fps shot, using the exact same setup parameters, and played it in my CS5.0. No problem. I did them side by side and checked to make sure everything was EXACLTY the same. The 24fps shot played smoothly in the CS5.0 source monitor. Can anyone tell me what the solution might be to get the CS5.5 to play smoothly? When I rendered it on the timeline in CS5.5 it played smoothly on the timeline. Perplexed.

Thanks Tood,
Here's the other info. I am running CS5.5 on a windows 7 ultimate 64bit (service pack 1) OS. All of the recent updates have been installed on both the OS and the CS5.5. The source footage is H.264.mov from a nikon d7000 at 1080p 24fps. My video card is an Nvida GeForce GTX285. My processor is an Intel Core i7 3.33GHz with 12GB ram. I am running no third party codecs or effects. I am using the Mercury Playback engine GPU accelerator. I am using a DSLR24 frame project setting.
Here is the problem: When I bring a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file into my DSLR24 frame project, or any project setting, in my CS5.5 and open it in the source monitor it plays as if it is trying to catch up; stuttering and skipping; it plays the same on the sequence timeline until I render it. I get no error messages. When I bring the exact same file into my CS5.0, with the exact same project settings, it plays perfectly in the source monitor and on the timeline without rendering. When I bring in a 1280x720 24fps.mov or any other size file into my CS5.5 in any project configuration, it plays perfectly smoothly. Everything plays smoothly without renedering in the source monitors of my CS5.0 and CS5.5 except for a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file in CS5.5. The exact one that I need to play there.
I would have no problem cutting in my CS5.0 if it intergrated with audition; which is why I bought the CS5.5.
Thanks,

Autocad 2010 drawing pasted in microsoft excel 2007 spread sheet not visible after converting excel

Hello, I am having an issue with Autocad 2010 drawings not showing up in a pdf document. Normally, I cut and paste part of an Autocad 2010 drawing into a Microsoft Excel 2007 spread sheet. Then, using Adobe Distiller, I convert the Excel spread sheet into a pdf document for propriatary purposes. However, recently the drawing pasted into Excel will not fully appear on the pdf, the drawing is cut off past a certain point. The drawing will print normally in Excel, but in pdf will not print normally. If the drawing is shrunk below the "cut off" point, it appears normally. If the drawing is expanded above the "cut off" point, any additional image is lost. Any suggestions on how to fix the problem would be appreciated.

See "[Creating, Editing & Exporting PDFs] How to correct bad PDFdisplay
of Excel 2007 graph-Adobe ProX?" and similar discussions. Are you
scaling it to less than 100%?

.nef Nikon files not opening in CS5

OS X 10.9.2 - New Nikon D7100 .nef files will not open in CS5 - Camera Raw 6.7.1 - I tried to update Camera Raw to 7.1 but to no avail. What else can I do? TIA

That camera requires at least Camera Raw 7.4, which is not compatible with Photoshop CS5. The cheapest option would be for you to use the latest DNG converter to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. Those can be opened with what you have now. Or, you could add Lightroom to your workflow. Or, you could upgrade your Photoshop.
