Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html

I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?

Thank you!

    Extension Manager and this folder are different entities.

    After installing Br CC from Creative Cloud (https://creative.adobe.com/products), Then follow the following steps to access Br CC Extensions folder:

    1. Click the Go menu.
    2. Then Go To Folder
    3. Now Copy Paste following location /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions

    This would open the Br CC Extensions folder, Follow the steps as mentioned in the help link to get AOM working.

    I cannot install that output module because there is NO BRIDGE CC EXTENSION FOLDER.

    It doesn't exist.

    I pasted in the path as suggested above, without tilde, but this doesn't help, because you cannot create a path to a folder that DOES NOT EXIST!

    Why is Adobe playing this bad joke on us who are paying each month for the software? Now I'm missing a deadline because adobe decided to not include the pdf creation functionality and also ensured that the installation instructions are wrong.

    It seems like none of these answers fixes the fact that the folder doesn't exist and Adobe doesn't allow you to get Bridge CS6. I have to wait several hours for over 100 contact sheets to be made in photoshop and then save each one individually and combine them in acrobat. CC is a disaster.

    Hi all,

    A big shout out to Tanuj Sandal from Chat Live Support who helped me very quickly to get the Output tab installed and working on my Bridge CC. He was very, very good and he should get a raise!

    Hi Omke,

    I changed back to my essentials workspace and checked only images were selected, which they are.

    I also restarted bridge with the option key down and reset the preferences. By doing this my output panel has now appeared blank again and the "!!-$$$AdobeOutputModule.workspace" file has been returned to the 'Workspace' folder in the Bridge Application Support folder in my user library.

    I have also ran the permissions disk verification function in my Disk Utilities and following this deleted the above file from my user library. A quick bridge restart and the output menu is still blank.

    Just for checking quickly, can you create a new user and test if it works from there?

    Hello,

    I too have been having all of the above problems since installing Adobe Bridge CC.

    I wanted to create a contact sheet of a group of images and while doing so discovered the output had dis appeared from Bridge.

    I have followed all the instructions above, replacing 'output module folder' and deleting "!!-$$$AdobeOutputModule.workspace" from my user library; which after a system reboot displayed the output panel in bridge :-).

    I then selected my images, changed the output options to what I wanted and hit 'Save'..........and the below error now appears!!!!!

    These images are on my desktop, so i'm not sure why it is saying "File or folder does not exist"

    Please help, i am growing tired of not being able to complete the simplest of tasks.

    Thanks

    Change back to workspace where you can see all the files that have been selected (in your case Essential or create your own workspace) and double check if you have only the images selected.

    Otherwise restart Bridge holding down option key to reset preferences and or check and repair permissions for your OSX using Utilities / Apple Disk Utility / check and repair permissions.

      My coworker and I are trying to install the component to allow us to make pdfs in Bridge. We are unable to locate any extension folder for Bridge CC using the direction above. We do find the Bridge CC folder under Library/Application Support/Adobe but there is no Extension folder there.

      We do not have CS6. We skipped from CS5 directly to the cloud. Is this part of the problem? Please help!

      Thanks in advance,

      Joy

      As a CC subscriber you also have access to CS6 using the Adobe Download centre but that should not be needed to solve your problem.

      see this article for correct install:

      http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html

      Mind you, this is about the library at system level, not user level

      So look at your hard drive where the OS is installed and inhere is a library where the path given in the article should be followed.
