Controlled Vocabulary

The Controlled Vocabulary Keyword Catalog

for Adobe Bridge 2.1 or later

The Controlled Vocabulary Keyword Catalog or CVKC, can be imported into version 2.1 or later of Adobe Bridge (Bridge 2.1 was released with CS3 and is included with other separate Adobe Creative Suite products such as Photoshop). The CVKC is also compatible with the Adobe Bridge database that was released with Creative Suite 4 (CS4) and Creative Suite 5 (CS5).

This version of the CVKC is in a Text file which has been formatted specifically for Bridge and saved with a unicode encoding so that it can be used with both Mac or Windows versions of Bridge. When installed, the the Keyword section will look like the screen capture shown below (for those of you using the Mac OS).

The full version 3.x of the CVKC contains approximately 11,000 terms organized in a hierarchical structure. For detailed information on how to install the CVKC see the Bridge support page. For other questions see the CVKC Frequently Asked Questions page. To request a sample of the CVKC, which contains a portion of two of the more than 20 top level hierarchies available in the full version, simply send email using the address on the Contact page and indicate you'd like the Adobe Bridge CVKC sample.

A few of the more than 30 top level hierarchies can be seen in this screen capture.
