If you have Adobe InDesign
installed, you can use Bridge to create a contact sheet of images
in InDesign.
In Bridge, select the images you want to include
in the contact sheet. Otherwise, all the images currently displayed
in the Content panel are included.
Note: You can select different images by clicking Files after
the Contact Sheet dialog box opens.
Under Layout in the Contact Sheet dialog box, specify
layout options for the thumbnail previews:
For Place, choose whether to arrange thumbnails
across (from left to right, then top to bottom) or down (from top
to bottom, then left to right).
Enter the number of columns and rows that you want
per contact sheet. The maximum dimensions for each thumbnail are
displayed to the right, along with a visual preview of the specified
layout.
Select Use Auto-Spacing to let InDesign automatically
space the thumbnails in the contact sheet. If you deselect Use Auto-Spacing,
you can specify the vertical and horizontal space around the thumbnails.
The contact sheet preview in the dialog box is automatically updated
as you specify the spacing.
Select Rotate Image For Best Fit to rotate the images,
regardless of their orientation, so they fit efficiently on a contact
sheet.
Under Caption, select File Name to label the thumbnails
using their source image filenames. Select other caption options
as desired.
To use an InDesign template for the contact sheet, select
Use InDesign Template. Click Template to select a template.
To save the contact sheet as PDF, select Save As PDF
under Output Options. Click Output File to select an InDesign PDF
preset.
