InDesign thumbnail preview missing in Bridge

[Fordrich]

Forgive me if I am wrong but I am sure that an InDesign file used to have a preview thumbnail in Bridge. But now it is just and InDesign icon. Very frustrating... Is there a way to get the thumbnail preview back?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know about recent versions but in my older CS3 version you need to specify to save with preview. Maybe those files saved without that option ticked.

Thanks... I have found this box and ticked it... but that hasn't made any difference

"Always save preview images with documents" first page...

Do you know I " specify to save with preview"?

[Ronald Keller]

But did you actually resave the document?

Hi Richard,

Can you please purge cache for the files and check if the preview comes up.

In case you still face issue, please let us know.

Regards,

Old post but if anyone is still looking for the answers, there's a few options on this thread: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1341497​ (essentially go to Bridge preferences > Cache > "Purge all cache" OR/AND Bridge preferences > Thumbnails > where it says "Do not process files larger than xxx MB", enter a larger number (my default was 5000mb).

The above didn't work for me but Ronald Keller's solution above did:
When saving an InDesign file, make sure the "Always Save Preview Images with Documents" is ticked. Mine wasn't for some files!
