Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer

Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Phil

Designer-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.

  • Why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

    why can't i send multiple files through airdrop ? , it accepts but shows only one photo

        Hello there Laurengrayce,
    I message all of the time and I want you to do the same, to anyone you would like!  Demmo provided a good suggestion of having this person check their services and ensuring they're setup as a 10-digit number, but I would like to provide some of my own suggestions.
    If they are in fact already setup as a 10-digit number, I would recommend deleting this persons contact from your phone as well as the entire messaging thread (long press and hold on thread to delete).  Readd them to your contact list and try again.
    Please advise if this continues and they've already checked with their provider.
    Thanks,

  • How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again

    How can I save the .mp4 files downloaded from internet to ipad memory so that I don't have to download everytime to view them again. Also they might remove them from internet so I can't rely on the bookmark to them.

    I'm trying to send home movies to my 10 year old nephew who lives across the country. He doesn't have a computer. He has an iPod touch. His parents have computers. But I don't want everything I ever try to have him do result in "you need your parent's computer for this." It's getting really embarrassing. I have converted my family over to Apple computers but now they want to buy iPhones, iPads, and iPods even though I tell them to go Android. It took a decade to convert them away from windows now I'm trying to keep them away from these freedom limited iOS devices and they won't listen. Then it becomes my responsibility to make their iPads print to their fancy pre-airprint color laser jet printers, get home movies onto them, and countless other things. It's driving me nuts.
    I have converted these files to a format that the iOS devices will play directly off of dropbox. Now, how do I get the infernal devices to save it instead of play it?

  • Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC?

    Is there a way I can set iTunes to add files automatically from a folder in my Windows PC and ensure that it is synced automatically? For example, if I add or modify a file in that folder it should be added to iTunes automatically. At the same time the original files in the folder should not be re-organized. That is can I just point to a music folder in my hard drive and sit back for iTunes to do the rest?

    I use GoodReader on my iPad and use the GoodReaderUSB tool. the GoodReaderUSB tool allows you to transfer entire folders into GoodReader without loosing the folder/file structure.

  • A pdf form I have designed cannot be exported due to an "unexpected error". What can I do?

    When I try to save a particular pdf form I have designed I get a message that it cannot be exported due to an unexpected error. I have not had this problem with other forms I have created. What can I do?

    Yes, Forms Central. I made the form by using a blank form page, copying and pasting another form I had done previously to the blank page and then modifying it.
    The original form I had copied from as the basis for the new form saved as a pdf form perfectly: the copied and then modified version kept displaying the error message.
    In the end I have managed to work around this problem by opening another template form (the Assessment one) and spending forever copying the items from the form i couldn't export over to the " template form one at a time (after deleting the template items, naturally).
    I will be making other forms that will have versions with minor variations and it would be much easier if I could copy and paste a whole form at a time rather than cell by cell but is that going to make the copied forms impossible to export from FormsCentral as it did with this one?

  • Passing multiple character values from parameter form to PL/SQL

    Hi,
    I am passing multiple character values from parametr form into
    the report query and a PL/SQL procedure. It works fine with the
    query, when I use &variable. But, it doesn't compile in PL/SQL,
    so I just used the :variable, but not getting any records in the
    PL/SQL procedure. Any suggestions?
    sincerely,
    gj

    gj / Fedro,
    Only using the &referecne, you can pas a string / multiple character values and this would work for query only.
    The bind parameter in PL/SQL wouls support only single value

  • Auto fill same fields in multiple different pdf forms?

    I wish to enter information such as project name, company name, date, etc. into a single data sheet.  Then I need to autofill the same two or three fields across multiple separate pdf form files.  In this case I have approximately separate files to autofill.  The forms are all different however, they have the same two or three fields.  Any ideas?
    I have been searching the internet for ideas or methods and haven't found a single solution yet.
    Thanks.

    I think this is what you're looking for.

  • Why can I not print multiple files to one sheet and create a PDF of that format via Print dialogue on Mac? Very important part of workflow!!!!

    Try this if you use mac.
    Create a multiple page PDF. Three pages.
    Go to print.  - Multiple pages per sheet so that you see all three pages on your sheet to be printed.
    At this point, on a windows machine, you can print this as a PDF.  On Mac, it only lets you save as PDF (Not with the format selected).
    WHY has this functionality been removed from the Mac version of Acrobat XI??? Adobe?

    Jon,
    Unfortunately, Rave's response is quite incorrect on two major points.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance was indeed part of the Macintosh version of Acrobat Pro until a few years ago.
    However, it was NOT Adobe that killed the feature. Apple did! In one of the MacOS updates, Apple fully removed the capability that Adobe had to support this virtual printer. There was nothing that Adobe could do about this, regrettably. Adobe didn't cripple anything. Complain to Apple!
    However, Adobe does provide a replacement for it that will yield similar results, but it is not available in Acrobat or Adobe Reader!!! In most applications' print dialogs (such as Word) - which printer you select is irrelevant, click on the PDF button and select the Save as Adobe PDF option. This will save your document as a PDF file with Adobe technology. But again, this is not available from with Acrobat or Adobe Reader.
    However, you should note that the process that you previously followed and you would like to continue to use is commonly referred to as “refrying a PDF” and is strongly discouraged even where it continues to work under Windows. Why? The print function of Adobe applications including Acrobat and Reader is optimized for PostScript for printing, not for creation of PDF. Resultant PDF files have lost any transparency (it has been flattened) and all color management has been lost.
    What you are really trying to do is to create a pre-imposed PDF file from an existing PDF file. Going through PostScript was and still is a very bad idea.
    There are some third party plug-ins to Acrobat, such as Quite Imposing (Quite Software, <http://www.quite.com>) and PDF Snake (<http://www.pdfsnake.com>) as well as some “free” (you get what you pay for) solutions you can look up on the web that can do PDF imposition without ruining your PDF via PostScript.
    Hopefully this can assist you.

  • Can no longer print multiple files from a PDF package

    Prior to our upgrade to Acrobat Pro X, we had the ability to print multiple files within a PDF package.  We would simply select the files we wanted to print, say print and it would print them all.  It no longer does so, although it still allows us to select multiple files and to select ALL from the print menu but then it only sends the first file to the printer.
    We have tried it on both Windows XP and Windows 7 and it won't work correctly on either one.
    Does anyone have any ideas?  This is very frustrating as these packages are created by folks bundling their e-mail messages to send to the fileroom for printing and filing in the official case files.  With the old method we were able to quickly print out all the messages without attachments, and then would only have to individually print those messages that had attachments.  As stands now if we get a package with 100 messages in  it we will have to select and print each file individually instead of being able to print the 75 without attachments as one print job and then only have to do the seperate handling for the remaining 25 with attachments.
    Any and all suggestions are welcome.

    I'm using windows 7. The Acrobat that came with the Adobe Creative Suit 4 is Adobe Acrobat Pro. When I am on a web site that has a page in PDF I click on the printer icon and the print page comes up but the preview side is blank and will not print the page.

  • How can I automatically fill and save PDF forms from an iSeries database file withouth viewing PDFs?

    We have incoming data that we need to insert into a PDF form then save an individual PDF file for each record from the database table for our Image system.  Data is coming from an iSeries file and I can Manually perform all the steps within the process, but this needs to be something that we can run from a scheduled job and should be a totally hands off process.  The form is in Adobe Acrobat and I've been trying some of the JavaScript pieces, but can't seem to get everything to run automatically.  I'm new to PC programming and can use any suggestions on how to handle this process.

    You might want to post this to the Acrobat SDK forum here. For it to work with Acrobat, it cannot be a completely automated process, however, due to licensing (and technical) restrictions. There are a number of third-party APIs that might help. If you post again, include what format the data is in (FDF, XFDF, XML, XDP) and what programming languages you can work in.

  • Can I open a multiple page PDF I got from email in the Pages app?

    How do I open a multiple page PDF that I copied from email?  All I get is the first page......  Sure hope I can open PDF...

    I don't use the pages app so I couldn't tell you there, however, Adobe a reader for the iPad has no issues with PDF in email.  In fact it has a button that you can use to open it right from Adobe a reader without having to open the mail app to get it.  Just a suggestion if you can't figure it out with pages.

  • Is it too much to ask that a Mac user can just OPEN and USE a PDF form created by LiveCycle Designer PC software?!?

    My problem is just that- I have created all my forms using LiveCycle Designer because it is easier to make the forms accessible to individuals with disabilities.  Apparently it doesn't make Mac users have access to the forms.  I've received complaints from Mac users that cannot complete or submit the forms that I created.  I'm not asking how to recreate using another software, I know how to do that.  I'm asking is there a work around to allow a Mac user to open a PDF form or even XML (bedded within an HTML page) on a Mac computer WITHOUT having to use bootcamp, parallels, etc. and be able to complete the form and submit, print or email it?????  I've exhausted all my knowledge on this thus far and I'm hoping to find something that will help.  So far all forums talk about how Mac users need to have a PC side to their computer.  Isn't there another way?
    I've attached an example form that we are no longer using (though still created exactly the same as the others)
    Thanks!

    Hi, as far as I can infer, that term means it's not loading any resources until needed, opposite of this...
    -bind_at_load
                     Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld to bind all symbols                when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.
    https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/ld.1.html
    Load resources lazily.
    You should never load a resource file until it is actually needed. Prefetching resource files may seem like a way to save time, but this practice actually slows down your app right away. In addition, if you end up not using the resource, loading it wastes memory for no good purpose.
