Output Module (Bridge CC) not working on Mac

[Dynamic_beauty15A8]

As suggested here

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

I downloaded and tried to install the Bridge CC Output Module. I could not find the "Bridge CC Extensions" folder only "Bridge CC"

I can see the output name inside Bridge when I try to install it but nothing happens when I try to click it, it's just greyed out

I using Bridge 6.0.0.151

On OS X 10.8.4

THIS WORKED! After hours of frustration. THANK YOU!

[ingrid_misner]

Thanks!  This is exactly what I was doing wrong.  It's all good now.

Not sure if anyone out there is still struggling with this, but I think I've figured out the problem as clearly as can be. The problem isn't the program itself, the problem is that Adobe did a poor job of explaining how to install it.

When you download the module from the Adobe site, you'll get a folder called AOM_Mac. This is just a package folder, it doesn't need to be moved anywhere.

Inside that folder are two items: a folder called Adobe Output Module and a file called AdobeOutputModule.workspace. They both need to be moved to different places.

The Adobe Output Module folder should be put in the Bridge CC Extensions folder (HD:Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions), and the AdobeOutputModule.workspace file should be put in the Workspaces folder that is in the Bridge CC Extensions folder (HD:Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions/Workspaces). Then, the next time you open Bridge, it should ask you if you want to install the Output extension, and click yes.

The problem we've been having is that we've been moving the .workspaces file without moving the folder to the correct place, so the workspace can't find the tool files contained in the folder, creating an empty window. Adobe should really rewrite their instructions to make this more clear.

Thank you! I've just spent the last hour trying to figure this out and this was the only REALLY helpful post with clear instructions. I've finally got the output module working

[weareblonde]

Thanks sinkronome, your answer sorted it for me!

[Gabriel_Montagnani]

You should work in Adobe!

Your help was essential to me! Thanks!

[ronjaaaaaa]

I did that but I still can't do anything. I have the uotput thing in bridge but when I click on it and choose the pics it's just blank where there should be some settings. Exampel if I want to do a PDF or a web gallery. But it's nothing there, do you know why?

ronjaaaaaa Are you using Mac or Windows?

If you are using Mac:

1. Close Adobe Bridge CC
2. Go to Install Adobe Output Module
3. Download the file AOM_Mac_New.zip
4. Go to your Dock and click on the Finder icon so you can see at the top of your screen a navigation menu for Finder, such as [File  Edit  View  Go  Window  Help]
5. Click on Go > Go to Folder...
6. Copy  /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions  and paste it into the field
7. Copy the Adobe Output Module folder (not the AOM_Package_[OS] folder) into the Bridge CC Extensions folder
8. Copy the AdobeOutputModule.workspace file into the Workspaces folder under the Bridge CC Extensions folder
9. Open Adobe Bridge CC and enjoy!

OMG thank you. I was somehow in a completely different folder where there were also extensions and workspaces folders under bridge CC... you're a lifesaver.

[chris von holle]

These are the proper instructions to date on how to install this extension. It worked without issue for me. Thank you so much! Output is such an important tool for me and the fact that it was removed from Bridge CC is very frustrating. Adobe, please fix this in the next edition of Bridge.

Sinkronome................spot on worked first time after I followed your instructions thanks mate.

[finalap10]

This worked beautifully, thank you! The previous comments were making me nervous, but once I got out of the user library and into the system library (which I never knew existed), put the files in place, the output panel opened without a second thought. I'm really glad I can use this feature now!

[SSNDTech]

Thank you so much! Once I knew to drag the workspace file into the Workspace folder, wa-la, it worked! I'm surprised this hasn't been corrected in the CC version. But I'm grateful for your help.

This worked looks like the adobe instructions are incorrect

[timsabatino]

Hi!
I double-checked and triple-checked, and I have put the folder and file at the right places. Still getting a blank window when I click Output. I'm getting so frustrated. What could I have done wrong?

I'm on Adobe Bridge 6.1.1.10 and Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.5

Thank you

Thanks. This one worked for me. 

Removing Output from Bridge in the first place = Epic Fail Adobe

[adamg11590120]

Thank you a million times. This works.

Your the only person to expain this correctly.

[philipr65700728]

Thank you so much for posting that. It worked.

I've been tearing my hair out over this one and lost a days work as a result.

Why Adobe stripped this function out in the first place is anyone's guess.

They should give you a job writing their updates.

Cheers again, very much appreciated

Is anyone having problems with the link to download the output module? When I click on this, the address bar starts flickering constantly..

[ChauCov]

All working today.. Followed sinkronome's instructions and works fine!

So it may still work for a while but Adobe is probably going to withdraw it from the installation pckage.

Whoever posted that this needs to be put in root folder thanks, I stumbled over that as well.

CC6 is not that great with stupid stuff like this to waste my time

[Estethia]

Gosh... I've done exactly as it says, and double checked it, even triple checked it... Still doesn't work! Should I just give up or what?

[jannellemoore]

I can't find the Bridge CC Extension folder under the Application Support in the Library. I have a folder called Bride CC but I went through everything thing and nothing.
