Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Acrobat cannot open files in the "Adobe PDF document" format

    The document “example.pdf” could not be opened. Acrobat cannot open files in the “Adobe PDF document” format.
    Hi All,
    Running Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 on Snow Leopard, have never had this problem before. Showed up about a week ago, I believe with new update. Can't double click on a file in Finder, or drag and drop to AcrobatPro in Dock, but can open from within Acrobat Pro / File / Open command.
    All my preferences are correct with "Open With Acrobat Pro" as the default.
    I've read all the threads I can find with no answers yet.
    Anyone found and answer, I see a lot of us are going through this over the last year.
    Only possible common thread I have found is possibly HP printers. But I've been running HP printers all along with no issues.
    Thanks for you input.

    Moved to Acrobat Installation & Update Issues
    Either Acrobat needs to be re-installed or the file is named as a pdf file, but it is not a pdf file. Try opening the pdf file in a text editor and read off what the first line of the file is.

  • Files corrupting when sending email attachments from Mail & Thunderbird

    Hi All
    I'm hoping that someone will be able to help here as this problem is driving me crazy!
    Most if not all of my email attachments are corrupting when sending from Apple Mail and Thunderbird.  I'm also having issues with publishing files via FTP from Rapidweaver 5!  I have spoken to BT about the issue but they have tested the line and say everything is OK.
    The strange thing is, it's happening on my MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and my Mac Pro (Lion). The problem's also happen when I'm using a friends high speed internet connection so that only leaves the server. I'm really out of my depth with the server side of things though. I did have a reply from Servage (my hosting company) who said I may have been the subject of a hack and an upload script!! Not sure what this means or how to check if this is the case. One question though, would this corrupt email attachments as well as uploading to the server?
    Many thanks
    Mark

    Further to the above:  I have now found that the same corruption happens when I email attachments and FTP from my PC laptop, so this rules out a computer issue.  I have also swapped wireless routers and exactly the same problem.  As mentioned above, I don't get the corruption when using another internet connection.
    Also, I have an iPhone which I've restored to factory default settings and when I take a photo with the phone and email it (using my home wireless network), the file corrupts, everytime.
    Using services such as YouSendIt and WeTransfer, gives the same problems!
    I'm desperate for help on this one and I'd even pay someone to resolve it!

  • Is there a Maximum file size limit when combining pdf files

    I am trying to combine files 8 PDF files created with i Explore using Acrobat XI Standard, the process is completed but when opening the file not all 8 individual files have been combined only the first two have been combined, the process shows all eight being read and combined.
    I can open and view each of the original 8 individual files and read the content without any issue, the largest of the eight files is 15,559kb and the smallest is 9,435kb
    if anyone can assist that would be most appreciated

    Hi Tayls450,
    This should not have happened as there is no maximum file size limit when combining PDFs.
    Please let me know if there are some password protected PDFs also?
    Also, I would suggest you to choose 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the Help menu.
    Regards,

  • Intermittent Problem of Corruption when printing PDF files

    From time to time I have a problem with text corruption when printing pdf files. Text comes out one character alphabetically later.
    For example, a file I printed yesterday contained the text "ONE WEEK VISITOR LICENCE". On printing it again today (on the same computer and printer), it appeared as "POF!XFFL!WJTJUPS!MDFODF". But another attempt immediately afterwards was correct.Here is a scan of the correct and incorrect printouts
    I have had this problem intermittently over a couple of years, particularly with pdf files embedded as a frame in a web page.
    I am using Adobe Reader 10.1.0 (but the problem has also appeared on earlier versions), Windows XP SP3 with all updates and an HP Deskjet 6980 printer on a wireless link.
    Any advice would be welcome

    Not sure why this may be happening. But you can try printing the PDFs as an image, which should solve the problem. It may take a little longer to print but at least you will get a correct print.
    You can do the same by Clicking on the Advanced button displayed on the Print dialog and checking the checkbox for "Print as Image".
    Hope that this fixes the issue.

  • How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

    How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
    I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
    I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

    It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
    You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

  • Sorting files when combining pdfs?

    Ok, I'm not quite sure how adobe sorts files when combining pdfs, but it seems to be somehow different from MS XP.  Anyway, what I want to do is combine a bunch of pdfs together which are labelled A 1, A 2, A 3... However, I'm finding that when sorting them by name in adobe to combine them in the right order that the 1's, 2's, and 3's get grouped together, where they are then not sorted numerically.  For instance A 2 gets sorted with A 20 and A 200.  Even when I use MS XP to rename (e.g. A (1), A (2)) or use Adobe to extract files from a pdf the files are named in such a way that this always happens.  Anyway to get around this without manually sorting the files?
    A better example of what happens:
    A 1
    A 10
    A 11
    A 12
    A 13
    A 14
    A 15
    A 16
    A 17
    A 18
    A 19
    A 100
    A 2
    A 20
    A 21
    A 22
    A 23
    A 24
    A 25
    and so on and so forth... where I would like
    A 1
    A 2
    A 3
    A 4
    A 5...

    Looks like a lexicographic ("dictionary" or "telephone book,") order and not numeric order. You could add leading zeros to have all the file names have the same length.

  • How to maintain signatures when combining PDFs

    Dear Forum,
    I have an issue when combining PDF files, where the original files with electronic signature field added in Acrobat Pro, the signatures disappear. Is there a way to stop this from happening? I've checked the security setting and currently have everything in the summary settings as allowed, but still the signatures won't carry through into the combined PDF.
    Anyone have any solutions?

    You absolutely can't combine signed files without destroying the signatures, because signatures apply to the WHOLE file, always. Consider using a portfolio instead.

  • Error (file skipped) when combining files

    Getting an error message on some files(error file skipped)@ when combining files, the properties of the files with errors are the same as the files which are okay. Anyone got a fix for this?

    No the the files aren’t protected. But I solved the problem by copying the files to another folder.
    Seems like another process was still using the files(strange but that’s data for you)

  • Files corrupt when saved as Jpeg.

    Recently I have been creating invitations in illustrator but when I save them as a JPEG file it says file corrupted when I try to upload them for printing. How can I fix this without creating an entirely new invitation?

    Why are you saving as jpeg for print out of Illustrator? Work in CMYK and save as pdf.
    Working in CMYK means that, provided your monitor is calibrated correctly, what you see is what you get.
    You may be in for an unpleasant surprise if you work in those nice, bright RGB colours and they come out all dull and muddy when printed.
    Pdf means that vector art remains as vector art. It is bad Latin to pixellate things when you don’t need to.

  • Movie file corrupts when added

    I have been adding different movies successfully to the menu on iDVD, but one file corrupts when added. The file will open and play outside of iDVD with no problems. Any suggestions?

    Hi
    iMovie and iDVD are very picky on what they can or can not use for VIDEO CODECS !
    To find out what a specific video file has for CODEC
    - open it with QuickTime player (can open so so many more)
    - press cmd+I (turns on inspector)
    - read - video formatted as: nnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    and frames per second: YY.yy
    What does they say ?

  • How to include more than 12 files in a new PDF document?

    I have a Adobe PDF Pack, and when I click on crating a new PDF document, they say that I cannot combine more than 12 files...!
    And I want to have a document of hundreds of pages!
    Someone can help me?
    Pleeeeaaase!!!!!!

    Hi Hisami,
    Thank you very, very much!
    It is very useful what you explain.
    One only question, since I have the trying version of Acrobat Pro: how many files can you combine at the time with it?
    May be it depends on the files size.
    I tried yesterday to combine 50 files at the time and it just blocked everything...
    Thanks a lot!
    Have a very good day.

    To combine more than 12 files into a single PDF file:
    1. Combine file 1 to file 12 then name it (combined 1 for example)
    2. Combine file 13 to file 24 then name it (combined 2 for example)
    3. Keep doing those steps #1 and #2 then combine "combined 1, Combine 2.....Combine 12).
    Another way is to use Adobe Acrobat. Please download Acrobat XI Pro Trial version from www.adobe.com or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus(please see more information about Acrobat Plus subscription at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html?trackingid=JPZKR).
    In Acrobat XI Pro:
    1. Launch Acrobat
    2. Select "File" menu > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF
    3. Click "Add Files" button at top left corner
    4. After adding your files click "Combine" button at the bottom of the dialog.
    Thank you

  • Acrobat Professional 7.0 not able to PDF documents

    Acrobat Professional 7.0 was working fine, then I got a message to update to Acrobat 7.1. I clicked yes, it installed, I restarted, and now I can't PDF documents anymore.
    The document opens a pop-up, "Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" immediately after I save the to-be-pdf'ed document. When I click "yes", It slowly runs the repair mode, then the computer shuts down and restarts. I go to PDF again, and I get the same "Missing PDFMaker files". I don't know what to do about this.

    please delete me from your mailing list.  tks.

    Yes! Thank you. I played around with it some and found that is the case, that I can PDF through the printer as well as bring the application up. I suppose it's just not install-able in full because it just cannot link up with Windows 7 in any capacity.
    That's all the ability that I need at the present time. Nothing special, just whether it can or can't. Thanks!

  • I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in safari

    Hi. I see only black screen windows when upload pdf documents in Safari. Also in old version of Safari, and in old System. In some windows, i can save the document, only now i can see this, open from pdf reader. Thank for some info.

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
