I miss the option of creating a PDF presentation that was available (under FILE-Automate)before CS5. The options that have replaced it in Bridge are not ideal for me. Before I was able to create a PDF presentation to put on disk for clients to scroll down and view images easily for selection.This has been moved to Bridge under OUTPUT and has been modified. I don't want contact sheets or cards etc.The contact sheet makes the images too small for on screen viewing and the other options aren't great either. I would love to have it back.There may be some other way of achieving the same thing but I haven't found it.

Awesome! I can finally uninstall CS3 from my computer.

Now, if only Premiere had burn-to-dvd put back in!

PDF Presentation has been reimplemented in 64bit for both Mac and Windows for Photoshop CS6. This includes support of Layer Comps to PDF workflows:

Hi Jeffery,

On my Intel iMac, Adobe Bridge runs for a few seconds, and locks up, every single time. Its not a viable solution sorry to say.

Please bring back the old way it was ace!

"You also removed the PDF Presentation from Photoshop? You idiots."
Now was a rude and inappropriate post.
Thankfully many of you Adobe employees seem to have commendable patience, equanimity or self-restraint.

Thanks for the requests. We're looking at reviving the old way of doing PDF Presentation.

In the meantime, check out this topic for details on how to do accomplish this using Adobe Bridge: What happened to the automate commands Contact Sheet II, PDF Presentation and Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop?

Dear Adobe Gripes #17704 & #12603

"You also removed the PDF Presentation from Photoshop? You idiots."

"Why did you remove PDF presentations from PSCS4? Bridge doesn't allow you
to make one from multiple folders. One day I will have only the newest
version of your apps. Not 2 or 3 past versions."

Please bring back the "automate/create pdf presentation" function. It was extremely useful. The new Bridge method is terrible. I will not purchase another upgrade until Adobe brings this back. Thank you.

Ayse: some of the default scripts where proof of concept ones, made to inspire third party script creators.

Did you look at the output module abilities of Bridge?
