I've received a folder of 30,000+ photos in dozens of subfolders. I want to use Adobe Bridge to capture a list of all keywords (and only those) already assigned to this photo collection for archival purposes and future information augmentation. How do I do that in Bridge without resorting to other tools?

There are various ways this can be achieved but I think by far the simplest and best is to install Lumigraphics most excellent Utility Script Pack for Bridge. This contains a Keyword Capture script which writes all keywords found in selected files to a text file.
