Bridge CC 2018 output pdf - wrong colors / no profile?

Came here because one of my clients ran into this issue today after getting a new mac and updating.

i've verified the files and yes, indeed the colors are off. The images are defined as sRGB in the PDF same as the input files yet they are darker and more saturated than the originals when edited out from the PDF in Acrobat and compared in Photoshop.

I can't however, reproduce the problem on my own PC - here the images extracted from the PDF is identical to the originals. Same thing with both 2018 and 2019 latest versions.

So either the PDF engine assumes a wrong profile before placing in the PDF but tags it correctly afterwards, or its a deeper problem with the engine itself.

Can anyone else chime in on mac/pc discrepancies regarding this issue ?

Anyway its a very serious problem as loads of photographers (most of clients actually) uses this method when sending contact sheets and selects to their customers.

It wouldnt be the first time Adobe royally f***s up basic color management, lets not forget the dual monitor profile mess with bridge ...

Again BASIC. COLOR: MANAGEMENT - if color management doesnt work, NOTHING works ...

I'm really frustrated by this too!!

This strated happening when I updated my software, it used to be fine. The colours look terrible in PDF format and I definitely cant send them to a client like this.

I've been 'chatting' with an adobe support person for over hour and a half and all they can say is to post the problem here and that there will be a resolution within 24-48 hours.

Considering this original post hasn't been resolved and was written in Sepetember 2018.

Same problem! This has been going on for months. I have to use 2017 version for all my pdf outputs.

Same here. Very frustrating... Dark and saturated.

Same problem her, my Output pdf is showing darker the my psd files is in Bridge

Any news?

I have a similar problem. Since the latest update of Bridge 2018 any pdf proofs that I make through the Output module do not reflect any changes that I've made to my RAW files. I've used this workflow for many years without a problem but now have to go back to Bridge 2017 on my laptop to make pdf proofs. Before this update the Output module used to be something you had to download and install yourself, now it comes as a pre-installed part of Bridge. I'm wondering if that's where the problem might lie.

Moving to Bridge
