Create a PDF contact sheet in Adobe Bridge CS5
Using the Adobe Output Module, you can create PDF contact sheets of one or more images. For contact sheets of multiple images, all images in the layout are a uniform size. By specifying playback options, you can also create a PDF to use as a full-screen or slide show presentation.
Note: To create print layouts that contain images in more than one size, use the optional Picture Package plug-in for Photoshop CS5. For more information, see Print photos in a picture package layout in Photoshop Community Help.
