Has there been a fix for this yet? I put together pdf presentations from multiple folders, and bridge just does not work for me like I want it to.... Adobe always gives you so many ways of doing things I don't understand why they would take something away as useful as that.. If you are going to get rid of something get rid of lens flare or water color....
Did Microsoft buy Adobe, or is there another explanation for the obtuseness of some recent "upgrade" features? I used to be able to make a multipage PDF in a couple of clicks straight from Photoshop. Then viewers could toggle from page to page and instantly see differences. Now I have to launch Bridge and go through a NASA-worthy preflight process with option this and option that BUT APPARENTLY NO OPTION TO MAKE A MULTIPAGE PDF. I'm at a loss to figure out why the presumably smart engineers at Adobe trashed a perfectly convenient system and replaced it with this labyrinthine mess.
I too want to complain about this, not only is the two click convinience downgraded in my upgrade :-( , but Adobe bridge is not stable on my system, in fact it locks up every time I open it. Its rubbish.
This is really disappointing Adobe. I hope someone relevant to Adobe.corp is reading this. I'm using PhotoshopCS4

Are you still on an earlier version? From what I have seen, simple contact sheets still can be made in bridge.
The only difference I see is the sheet is saved as pdf, instead of jpg or other raster type.
As a pdf it can be printed from any program that can load a pdf, which is what you would do with a jpg anyway. The benefit though is the pdf is totally editable in illustrator.
BTW, I am using CS5... OH also it will do multipage pdf's
Edit: Playing with it a bit, I did find a major drawback. It does not do a picture package.
For anyone wanting the picture package/contact sheet. It is available as a optional download for CS5.

It appaears as though it is not available for CS4, Look on your Cd's and see if it is still there, thats the only thing I can think of as I don't have CS4.
The picture package is also available in photoshop lightwave 3.

If you’re using Photoshop CS4 and can’t find Extract, Contact Sheet, Picture Package, Web Photo Gallery, you can download & install them: Mac, Win.
Donald,

A most unfortunate and completely wrong assumption, Silkrooster. ![]()
According to information frequently provided by both Adobe and Microsoft, sales of Photoshop and the Adobe Creative Suites, which include Photoshop of course, generally run 50-50, sometimes 60% to 40% in favor of Macintosh. See for instance, Adobe Photoshop's Principal Program Manager John Nack's blog.
While the overall market share of Apple is indeed much smaller than that of PCs in general, remember that the overwhelming majority of Windows boxes are procured by government and corporate entities, rather than bought by the end users.
When it comes to photography and the graphic arts industries, Macs rule. In the printing industry, Macs are the norm by a huge percentage.

Well, one thing is a bad habit, another one a bad rabbit, but I don't know what a bad habbit [sic] is, even on Easter Sunday. ![]()
Your bad habit is not based on maliciousness or physiological disfunction but on ignorance. That's why I mentioned market share for your edification, Silkrooster. ![]()

Ignorence [sic] is the lack of knowledge. which was not the case. and can be insulting. When accused of such. Hence my appology [sic] to Donald for my forgetfulness.
If you don't like it, tough titty. I am done here...
<sarcasm>
Ignorance is repeatedly misspelling words, such as ignorence for ignorance, or habbit for habit. "Accidently" and "appology", which occur only once each, can be due to oversight or typing error Do you know how to use the forum's or your web browser's spelling checker, Mr. Tough Titty ? Or maybe there are no spelling-checking functions on your Windows box at all?
