When you make alternates in Bridge, you can make different files alternates of each other in an alternates group.
Alternates are not available in Acrobat 7.
❖
To make alternates in Bridge, do one of the following:
•
To make alternates from files in one folder in Bridge, navigate to the project containing the files you want to make
alternates. In the Bridge window, Shift-click or Control-click to select the files you want to make alternates and
choose Tools > Version Cue > Make Alternates.
•
To make alternates from files in multiple folders in Bridge, navigate to the project containing the files you want to
make alternates, and click Alternates View in the upper right corner of the Bridge window. (If Alternates View
doesn’t appear, click Versions and Alternates View in the lower right corner of the window.) Choose File > New
Window, and navigate to a different folder in the same Version Cue project. Shift-click or Control-click to select
the files you want to make alternates, and drag them to the right of the larger thumbnail showing the file being
viewed in the Alternates view of the first Bridge window.
•
To make alternates from a past version of a file in Bridge, navigate to the project containing the file you want to
make an alternate. Right-click the file and choose View. When the file opens in its native application, choose File >
Save As, and either save the file in a different folder or change the file name. Select Alternates, and then click Save.

To move an alternate to another alternates group
Note:
You can perform this task only if you have access to the full Version Cue feature set, available in Adobe Creative
Suite or in a shared workspace. See “Availability of Version Cue features” on page 81 for more information.
A file cannot be a member of more than one alternates group. To move an alternate to another group, you must first
remove it from it’s original group and then add it to a new group.
1
Remove the alternate from its group. For instructions, see “To remove an alternate” on page 118.
2
Add the file to a new alternates group. For instructions, see “To save an alternate” on page 116 or “To make alter
nates in Bridge” on page 118.
Editing and synchronizing offline files
Editing and synchronizing offline files
When you need to work on files from a Version Cue project while the Version Cue Workspace is unavailable on the
network, you can edit working copies on your computer. When the Version Cue Workspace is available again, you
must
synchronize
your files with the workspace to save your latest version to the Version Cue Workspace. You can
synchronize an entire project, just a folder in the project, or a selected file.
Working copies are normally copied on your computer when you open a project from an online workspace.
However, if you haven’t yet edited the file, you can prepare to work offline by synchronizing the entire Version Cue
project, or just the files you need, while the workspace is still online to ensure that you have working copies.
When you are working offline, you can’t create multiple versions because the Save A Version command is
unavailable.
