Create- combine multiple pdf files has stopped working? Adobe Acrobat Pro on Mac

Hi It's my first time on this forum. I'm a regular user of the create pdf by combining multiple pdfs. It always works no questions asked, but just a few days ago when I'd click on create and select Combine files into a single pdf nothing happens. Usually a pop up would let me identify the files to combine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Anne,
If all you need to do is combine the PDFs, and Acrobat continues to give you problems, you can have a go at the free program PDF Split and Merge. You will need Java installed on your computer to run it (Java apps run on all systems -- Mac, Windows and Linux, and mobile systems like Android and iOS). Acrobat hangs for me sometimes when trying to combine multiple PDFs, especially if the individual PDFs are of considerable file size. PDF "Sam" works fine for me when Acrobat won't. It also uses less memory and resources than mighty Acrobat, on my RAM-challenged (Windows) machine. As stated above, PDF Sam is a Java program, so it should work also on Mac. There are also system-specific downloads available on the author's web page.
Have a look-see at PDF Split and Merge at pdfsam.org/download (Go to "Other Platforms and Versions" to find the Mac-specific version).
Download Java (if it's not installed!) at java.com (Go to java.com/download/manual.jsp and scroll down for Mac OS X). *Java 7 requires at least Mac OS 10.7.3 to install; check "About This Mac" at Apple menu -> About This Mac... to see your system version.
Good luck

  • Disappearing PDF file after saving work in Acrobat Pro 9?

    I use Acrobat Pro 9 to do markups. Some of the files may be as large as 2,000 pages. At various points, I save my work. Sometimes, however, I save my work, close the program. I come back later and discover that the PDF file that I working seems to have vanished. It's not in Recyle Bin and searching for it, does not bring it up. There isn't even an icon. When this happens, all that remains are aabxxx 's in Recent Places. Sometimes if I am lucky, I can somehow generate another PDF file. Sometimes not.
    I know that it is possible I could strike the wrong key and not save my work. But this has happened often where that something else be the reason.. I have looked for solutions to this problem in the past and have not been able to find any.  I currently am using Windows 7 with IE9
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    Thank you for your help and suggestions. I put in the browser info, but I wasn't sure if that would be helpful. I have a lot of problems with IE9 and using Microsoft Word and Excel.. MS Office 2010 is 64-bit.  The version of Windows 7 I have is 64-bit. What happened is that I began working for this one publisher, AA9 was the version in use and that was I was instructed to use It was also just before the release of AAX.
    Do you think that the 32-bit/64-bit difference is what could be causing the issue?
    I put off going to a new version because of the cost and the fact that I wouldn't have time to learn the current version. I have a lot of projects right now and scheduling is tight.

  • Digital signature has stopped working in Acrobat Pro 9

    Digital signature has been working properly for years, but now none of my pdfs will allow my digital signature. Here is the error message I get, but I can't make sense of it. Is the application corrupted? Magnify the screen shot below if necessary.

    Your answers are very short, please give more details so that we can try to help.
    - Who signed the document - did you sign it?
    - where WAS it valid
    - how was it made
    - anything else relevant

  • Import of .mts files has stopped working in P Pro CS4

    I have PPro CS4.  I WAS able to import .mts files from my Canon Vixia HF S10 but now PPro says the files are corrupt.  Nothing has changed on the system; there is no new software, etc.  What happened?
    Thanks.

    How long ago did you update to CS4.1? Did you ever have a trial version of PrPro on this machine?
    There have been several cases, where CS4 reverted to the trial version, after the update to CS4.1. The trial version has no support for anything MPEG.
    If this is what has happened, then an uninstall, running of Clean Script CS4 several times and a reinstall with the update to CS4.1, should get you back up and running.
    Good luck,

  • How do i combine multiple pdf file into a single pdf file?

    how do i combine multiple pdf files into a single pdf file?

    The thread was started in early March and it's Mid-April, I know this very well. The OP of this thread posted a very common and simple question or maybe he/she would have resolved this. For an Adobe Acrobat user it's not at all difficult to combine multiple PDF files into one. But to combine PDF files full version of Adobe Acrobat is mainly required, otherwise PDF files can't be combined. For example, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. These simple steps are mainly required to combine PDF files:
    Open Adobe Acrobat.
    Click on Combine and click on Merge files into a single PDF.
    A window will be appearing, click on Add Files and select the PDF files you want to combine.
    Arrange the selected files in any order with the help of Move Up and Move Down button.
    Now click on Combine File and the selected PDF files will be combined within a few seconds.
    A new PDF file will be created. Click on Save As and name this new PDF file. Then, click on Save.
    A new PDF file will be created and all the selected PDF files are combined in it. The steps shown above might be different in other versions of Adobe Acrobat. Other than this, some third-party PDF merge software are also available. Most of them are available with a demo version for free evaluation. I've heard much about SysInfoTools PDF Merge software on other forums and directories and it's demo version is freely available. One may check its demo version if Adobe Acrobat (full version) is not available.

  • I can't open downloaded files within Mozilla Firefox Particularly PDF files. I have Adobe Acrobat on my machine . Do I need to import it to firefox if so how do I do it ?

    Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem.
    See "Creating a profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • Adobe Acrobat combining multiple pdf files causes unwanted duplicates

    Hello All,
    We're having an issue trying to combine multiple pdf documents into a single file. It doesn't happen all of the time, but what happens is the final pdf will have duplicate pages in them. A file that should only have 7 pages will have 14, the last 7 being repeats of the first 7. Has anyone encountered this issue and know how to resolve it? We're still using Acrobat 7 on Windows XP. Thanks for your help!

    Thanks, but they're not dynamic forms with specific names, just straight up pdf documents with text and images. They are invoices from an automated process that create the pdf documents. The process itself does not use dynamic forms with specified field names. Not to mention every document created is exactly the same except for the customer info and images. The individual documents are then manually combined together by an office person and that is where we're having the problem. The issue does not happen all the time, just occasionally. Sorry if I didn't specify this in my original post.

  • Tag structure lost while combining multiple PDF files

    Hi All,
    As per client requirements, we have been using ABBYY Fine reader to create PDFs. After creating multiple PDFs of a huge book (separated logically according to Units consisting diff Chapters), we have tagged them correctly.
    We need to know put these tagged PDFs together. However, while combining multiple tagged files, we loss the Tagged structure!!! (using Adobe 8 Professional)
    Any idea, why are we losing our tags in the combined file? Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!
    Mamta

    Hello Steve (and ALL),
    We are combining the files using File --> Combine Files... dialog box. We also tried Document --> Insert Pages. In both the cases, my tag structure of all files just dont appear!
    While combining files we get the following:
    Tags
    --- Document
    -----Part (Empty)
    -----Part (Empty)
    -----Part (Empty)
    (The number of "Part" corresponds to the number of files I try to combine)
    While Inserting the pages into a file, we only get to see the tag structure of the first file into which we insert the pages.
    Are there any other methods to combine the files???
    Regards,
    Mamta

  • My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

    I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
    The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
    It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
    Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
    Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
    Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

    First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
    enjoy free web..... :)

  • Licensing has stopped working for Acrobat 9 Pro

    When I install Acrobat 9 Pro on my new Macbook 10.7.4, I get the message "licensing for this product has stopped working" and it tells me to uninstall and reinstall. When I first purchased Acrobat 9 Pro and installed it on my old Macbook Air, I had the same problem but I was able to fix it with one of the solutions at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html.
    However, none of these solutions work or make sense on my Mac version 10.7.4. I have already been on live chat with Adobe help twice and was unable to resolve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I also have CS5 Premium installed and it works fine).

    I have been having the licensing issue with Windows 8.  I have run the licensing repair tool every few weeks.  It never "sticks".  Acrobat will work fine for a few weeks, maybe a month, then the error comes back.  Does anyone know of a permament fix. Thanks.

  • Get "Licensing for this product has stopped working" error on my New Mac with old Adobe software

    hi people, i've recently purchased a new machine and can't work out how to get Illustrator cs3 or photoshop cs5 working on it...
    photoshop says "Licensing for this product has stopped working. you cannot use this product at this time. you must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT administrator or Adobe customer support for help", which is strange as it said some different before i tried asking adobe support about this...
    illustrator says the same thing.
    customer support said i need to ask here because they can't provide support for these products.

    thanks for response, let's start the dialogue.
    what OS version?: OS version 10.9.3
    Have you deactivated Photoshop on the old machine? No, i am not inclined to try this as i do need a working version for work, customer support tells me that i've purchased a serial key but they won't tell me what it is, just that i could try using it...  can't find any reference to this on my machine though:(
    On how many computers have you (or someone else) installed Photoshop and register with your license?1 i think..
    Have you tried uninstalling, cleaning and re-installing? no, though i've tried to find out how and can't even manage that:(   went to the adobe site and could only find their creative cloud thing which requires me to pay monthly:/...
    thanks
