Why Bridge crops pdf output?

Hi,
I am trying to make a simple pdf portfolio in bridge (cs5.5) but depending on the screen size my image gets cropped at the bottom (no grey border). You can reproduce it by dragging the pdf window wider or narrower. In bridge everything looks fine but in the output it looks like in the link provided. I’ve tried adding margin in the layout section inside bridge but not everything changes the right way.

Here's what I think is happening. You say PDF review is good but printed documentation gives wrong styles. You also say you assume PDF review uses the Stylesheet (CSS) for each topic, yes it does. Now if that is giving the correct styles it tells you that is what you need when you generate printed documentation.
When you use a Word template you will get very different styles unless you have set up the template to mirror your CSS. Using the Map to CSS option you have two choices, you can select None when each topic will be printed according to the CSS attached to the topic or you can select one of the CSS files available in the project.
I suspect that if you select the None option, you will get the same as you are seeing in the PDF review.
If your document is not going to be worked on by anyone, such as a training department using it as a based document, then the CSS options are fine. If others will be working on it, then the Word template option is better as lists will be true lists and headings will be true heading styles.

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.

Help needed with Bridge PDF Output Module

Hi:
I posted this in the Photoshop forum but got no replies except to try here. I created a PDF presentation with 34 jpg images which I want to send to a publisher by using the PDF output module in Bridge. the images have the sRGB color profile embedded in them and the colors look vibrant when the jpgs are viewed in CS 4. However the PDF that opens in Adobe Reader shows the colors looking very dull. Is there a way to view the PDF in CS 4 or a way to make them appear as they should in Adobe Reader? Maybe Adobe Reader has no color management capabilities, I don't know. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

My Concurrent Program PDF output is in Russia instead of in English. Why?

I have selected Format as PDF and Style as "Landscape" and I am using English version as many others. Why am i getting Russian(or its some other language I really dont know that script) characters when I run the report?
I am using
RDBMS : 10.2.0.2.0
Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.27.0
Application Object Library : 11.5.0
Please suggest me to get English font in my PDF output file.
I forgot to mention that I am able to see output in english when I run the report with Format as "Text".

Since your characterset is set to UTF8, generating any report in PDF format (with or without printing) is not supported. Oracle Reports 6i cannot generate PDF output with multi-byte characters. In Oracle Applications 11i with Oracle Reports 6i, PDF output is supported for only Latin-1 character sets such as US7ASCII, WE8ISO8859P1 or WE8MSWIN1252.
Under UTF8, generating PDF via the XML Publisher is supported and it can be done. Alterative workaround is to use another format like Postscript (Assuming that PASTA is already installed and configured).

PDF output in bridge CC

I used to be able to create a pdf contact sheet in bridge in the output view, but I can't seem to find it anymore. Can anyone help?
Many thanks

CS5 Bridge Pdf output

I am trying to find the compression "None" settings in PDF output of CS5 bridge
In CS2, I can go to automate, pdf presentation and there I can set my compresion to None

I tried full and it makes no different
a DVD slick exported as 150dpi is 966kb
a DVD slick exported as 300dpi is 966kb
a DVD slick exported as FULL is 966kb
there must be something else I am missing when I export the same DVD slick via CS2 using None, the resulting pdf is 29mb

Bridge PDF output

When I use the new CS4 pdf output function from Bridge my images are rasterized and low-res even if I select the "high" quality option. I am creating contact sheets from .ai files so they should be crisp and clear, but no matter what I do they are fuzzy and low res.
Has anyone else noticed this? Any possible fixes?

Due to the fact you have the choice of high quality means you did not

First try the update:

Why a difference between picture quality in InDesign and PDF output

We are comparing the CS5 pdf output of our book with the ID version. The images are MUCH clearer and the colors are better when we view a page inside of ID side by side with the PDF. The pictures actually look blurry in the PDF, even though we are outputting at 600dpi.When we export to PDF in cs6, the clarity is much better but the color is still a little off. Is this normal?

The X-1a exporting from CS5 looks much better than the normal output, and better than the CS6 output. What would cause that?
If you export a CMYK PDF with no profiles and open it in AcrobatPro, Acrobat's Color Management's Working CMYK space handles the preview. So here's the difference between two very different profiles Fogra Coated and SNAP Newsprint:
When you export PDF/X-1a an output intent profile is included (usually your document's CMYK profile) and that is used in Acrobat for previewing CMYK instead of the current CMYK working space.

Transparent shadow crossing over the image in pdf output

Hi Folks,
In recent days, we are frequently facing problem in using of tiff format image in InDesign. In pdf output, there is some transparent shadow crossing over the image. The problem occurs in ps to pdf as well as export pdf settings. The issue was not happened for the past 5 years.
If it is a reproducible error, we could find the root cause of the problem. But the same issue does not occur if we create the pdf again. Please see below the differences in viewing of actual image & problematic image and suggest how to resolve this and why it happens.
Issue 1:
Actual view of image shown in left side; Corrupted view of image shown in right side
Issue 2:
Issue 3:
Now I have suggested my team to convert all tiff images to psd image format. I really don't know whether it helps. All I need is to know the root cause of the issue. Anybody please suggest would be really helpful.

@Tyson:
In Issue 2, horizontal green color shading is crossing above the play/pause icon in right hand side of the image.
In Issue 3, I have displayed the screenshot of the image placed in InDesign to show the original view of the image. But the problem shows in right hand side that is pdf output view. You can see the horizontal green color shading in 1st image and light grey color shading (at the top of "NO" text) in 2nd image.
Actual & Effective PPi of top of the image --> 597
Actual & Eff. PPI of bottom of the image --> 477
PS to pdf creation:
Crops & bleeds ON, Composite CMYK color output, Image data: All, Postscript: Level3, Data format: Binary, Printer profile: Document CYMK-US. web coated
If you need more details, I'm ready to give you. Please let me know.

File Information in PDF Output

Does anyone know why InDesign is putting the file info outside of the crop marks? Screen shot below:
We have an outside slug area of 24 pts defined and at first I thought it was going to that but it is actually about 4pts IN from that. We've also done that same thing with the slug area on other files but they always put the file info on the inside of the crop marks.
I think it might just be that the small trim trim (just 4.25 inches wide) is simply too small. When I output as spreads, it puts the info inside the crops on the spread pages but not on the single pages.
However, when I output as spreads I don't get the file name from CS3, only the page number as shown in the below screen shot.
Does anyone know if not including the filename is a bug in CS3? CS5 seems to output the filename as I would expect.
For anyone who cares: On a couple of series we do we take InDesign's PDF output and manipulate it for various things, sometimes cropping the sides of the pages tight to the crop marks. With InDesign putting the file info outside the crops we can't do that without lopping off the crop marks.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Ken

OK so I've narrowed it down a bit. All of this in CS3.
Turns out that when you export a single file to PDF spreads it includes the filename, but it DOESN'T include the filename (only page numbers) when you choose "Export Selected documents to PDF..." from the book fly-out.
Again, any suggestion to get that filename to come out would be apprecited.
Thanks!

Save PDF Output custom settings?

After tweaking almost every panel in the PDF output settings, I'd like to save those settings to reuse with other PDF contact sheets I'll be creating in the future. How do I do that? As soon as I tweak a setting, the Preset changes to Custom, and as soon as I select a different preset, the entire Custom entry is deleted from the dropdown menu.

While the Output Module of Bridge is a good idea it is not "ready for prime time" in either of the two functional areas.
I guess that's why they left the old-style methods available on the installation disk.
Just another casualty of the "Rush it out to meet a deadline" policy.

CS6 PDF Output - Custom Template?

I recently installed the windows version of CS6 Bridge. I would like to create a custom template for pdf output. However there is no "Custom" box in Template drop down box and the new template and recycle bin icons do not function. What do I need to create and save custom template in Bridge pdf output?

Error in generating PDF output

Whenever, I generate a PDF output, RH goes through the process but displays an error message stating that the file_name.pdf is not found. It did the same thing when I tried generating a PDF of a sample project as well. Any pointers on how to resolve this issue?

I am just trying to see where there could be a problem. When you generate a PDF from RoboHelp a temporary Word file is automatically created in the background from which the PDF is created. What I was trying to get you to check was whether the problem is with the PDF creation or somewhere else. If you go through the same process to create a PDF but deselect the PDF creation option BUT select the Word creation option, a Word file will be created. If that works, it will have exactly the same fonts, styles as the PDF would if you can create it.
I am also a bit unsure what you mean. It sounds like you are generating a Word file, then changing the fonts and styles in Word. Why not just make sure that your fonts, styles in RoboHelp are correct and then just map these to your Word template when creating the Word file. Peter Grainge has some excellent tips on this on his site. It is well worth a read.
