Bridge 8 and Bridge 9 - PDF module broken, destroys colors, horror skin tones

The pdf export modules of both Bridge 8 and Bridge 9 are broken and unusable as they cannot read a color tag.

I have tried repeatedly - both applications cannot read color tags and it looks like it's seen in a Firefox browser. All skin tones destroyed.

I have searched online - the problem exists since September 2018.

Has there been a solution to this problem in the six months since it was discovered?

Is there a way to make the pdf module to do the most basic thing in the image world (and without which its all pointless): to read a color tag?

I can't believe that after 25 years adobe brings out a module that can't read a color tag. I can't send this junk pdf to a client, nor to my own rep.

Did you try Lightroom Classic, specifically the Print module?

Consider using the Contact Sheet Function in Photoshop or Grid Place in InDesign.

Thanks, I will check that out. I can create the pages in Photoshop and then bundle them together to a pdf this way.

I have the same problem. Mac pro 10.12.6 Bridge 2019
They come out much darker and magenta red. These are some proofs I am trying to send to a client.

Are you on PC, Lumigraphics? I'm on a Mac, and the pdf module can't produce a single usable pdf.

Why is nothing happening? Bridge 9 is basically unusable. No control over the interface compared to Bridge 8, blurry previews, and a dysfunctional pdf output module. Deleting Bridge 9. Bridge 8 at least works except you can't create pdfs.
