There used to be a plug-in or something for older versions - is this still the case? Could you share here if it is please?

Don't people use that as a function of sharing images quickly with people? I can't live without it, and the Photoshop action is so slow and awful and not what you need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go to the top menu - window - output settings. But still fasils to generate a PDF for unknown reasons.

(yes this is such a frustrating program) it took ages to find this after updating).

I am having the same problem. A 15-minute task that used to be easy and quick has now taken me an hour and I had to use Photoshop Contact Sheet II to get the task done.

I don't know what problem you are having, but I can produce a contact sheet as PDF in Bridge in about 15 seconds!

On one occasion I design the 'Output' process with my desired parameters (eg. A4, 3 columns 4 rows, Filename, margins, ppi, etc) then SAVE this as a Template Preset . You can save multiple Template presets.

Now my procedure any time in the future is this-

1) Select images for the Contact Sheet (in any view, eg. Light-table)

2) Click on [Output]

3) Choose my Template Preset

4) Drag the selected images from the filmstrip onto the 'preview' window.

5) Click the ((Export to PDF)), provide a filename and folder location.

Done. eg. 72 images on 6 pages of PDF.
