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)

  • 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?

  • Unable to open the document when combining files.

    We have a user that gets an error when combining files. It says
    Unable to open the document:
    <Filename and path>
    Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.
    Retry and cancel buttons.
    We get this error on every subsequent file, it works on the first one after the computer starts.
    This computer has Windows Vista Business with SP2, Adobe Acrobat X with the latest patches.
    It doesn't matter if the files are local or on a network drive, the same always occurs. I have cleared
    all user and system temporary files, re-installed, verified the Acrobat Add-In for Word 2010 is active,
    verifed the PDF printer is working fine. It only happens when trying to combine files. I have given the
    user local administrator privilidges, tried with my account that has domain admin priviledges, no luck.
    I really need some suggestions...
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed.
    This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok.
    They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter.

  • When combining files, conversion keeps failing with red notice that the document if password protected. What does that mean and what do I do?

    When combining files, conversion keeps failing with a red notice that the document is password protected. I was combining all pdf files and had just been successful with some of the same content under a different file name. What is wrong and how do I correct it?

    Hey SUSANO,
    I am sorry but you cannot combine files if they are password protected.
    You can check the same under 'File > Properties> Security

  • New user here.  Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File Import Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos

    New user here.  Trying to import iPhoto 9.4.2 libraries into Aperture 3.4.3 as referenced files. When accessing File>Import>Library, it finds the iPhoto library just fine, but then imports it as Master files. No option that I can find to leave the photos in place on the file system.  All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.  What?

    All the literature says their should be an option to choose, but I never get that option.
    That has been true for the previous Aperture versions. Now Aperture simply treats the original image files exactly as they are in the imported library. Referenced images will stay referenced, managed will be imported as managed. But you can always relocate the imported managed images afterwards by using "File > Relocate".

  • File conversion error when combining files

    Hello,
    I am using Adobe Create to combine several files (both word and pdf) into a single pdf document.  I have done this several times in the past with no problems.  However today it won't allow me to combine any documents which are already in pdf format.  The system generates an error for each of these documents as: "Conversion Failed".  I am clearly not trying to convert them, but rather to combine them...  Any ideas?

    Hi gina_hall_7848,
    If you're combining both Word and PDF files into PDF, there is some conversion happening (with the Word docs, as they're converted into the combined PDF file). If you're getting the error when combining only PDF files--that's another story. It could be that one or more of the files that you're combining isn't in a supported format, or that Adobe PDF Pack is timing out before it can complete the conversion.
    Does the error occur regardless of what files you try to combine?
    Best,
    Sara

  • Flash Error When Combining Files

    In Acrobat XI Pro, when combining two or more PDFs in to a single file, i recieve and error to say to view the content i must download flash.  Ive checked and we are running the latest version.
    The OS on the device is Windows 8.1 and it is patched for the latest version of flash inside the OS, even when trying to go to the link provided it just says that it is already installed.  Thanks

    Hi reddamo,
    Adobe Acrobat no longer bundles a Flash Player for the purpose of rendering Flash technology content within the pages.
    For this, you need to use a separate Flash Player. Please refer this kb file to download the Flash Player:

  • Error when Combining Files (Acrobat XI & Office 2010)

    I have a user who is getting an error every time she tries to combine files on her computer.
    Pdfs will combine just fine.
    Pdf + MS Office file types fail.
    Combining two MS Office file types fail.
    A side issue, maybe related, is that the Acrobat tab in her office applications errors when she attempts to "Create PDF".
    I've uninstalled / reinstalled, and rebooted.
    System is Win 7 running Office 2010 w/ Acrobat XI.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I get this error.
    The user is logged in as an admin of their machine and I haven't set any restrictions that should cause this.

  • Receiving Error Message when Combining Files

    I keep receiving this error message when I try to combine my files together:
    Your PDF conversion request failed.
    There was an unexpected problem while combining your files to a single PDF file. Please try again later.
    I have tried logging out and then logging in and trying to combine the files again as well as attempting later in the day and I still receive the same error message. Why am I receiving this error?

    Please try to use 2 small/somple files to combine.  If that does not work please let me know.
    If one of your PDF files is an encrypted(no permission to open or edit) Combine FIle fails.  You can open your PDF file in Adobe Reder then check "Security" setting from File menu > Properties >Security tab.

  • Error Message when Combining Files to PDF in Acrobat XI-Pro

    Hi!
    I am trying to combine multiple CAD files to PDF and keep encountering an error message.
    I'm using the Combine Files to PDF, dragging in the corresponding files (.DWG files) into Acrobat and then clicking the Combine button. They convert to PDF but a dialog box immediately pops up:
    As I'm the person creating the .pdf document and am using Acrobat XI-Pro to do so, what am I doing wrong to continue to receive this message?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi TTownWriter,
    Try creating a combined file as follows :
    - Open one of the files .
    - Open thumbnail pane of the file via Left hand tools pane .
    - Go to options and Insert the second(or subsequent) files to the opened file using "Insert Pages" menu option.
    - Save the file.
    Refer the screenshot.

  • In Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, is there a way to set defaults when combining files?

    My specific problem;  When I combine files, Adobe creates the bookmarks (which is desirable).  These bookmarks however, always seem to default on "page width" view.  I would prefer to have the bookmarks set to "fit page".  It is very cumbersome to edit each bookmark to reset the view.  (this is another issue which should be addressed as well).
    My preferences already are set to view the files in fit page, single page, however this setting does not seem to transfer to the combined file.
    Is there a way to globally set the preferences for this?  Even the settings during the combining function do not give options for the page view settings.

    There isn't a way to set this during the Combine process but it's easy to change all the bookmarks in one go using the following technique:
    Open the bookmark navigation pane and select all the bookmarks (be sure to expand all subbookmarks).
    Right-click and choose Properties from the context-sensitive menu.
    Click the Actions tab and choose Execute a menu item from the dropdown.
    Click the Add button and choose View > Zoom > Zoom to Page Level and click OK.

  • Getting "save as" dialog box to auto populate when combining files in Acrobat X Standard

    In acrobat 9 the "save as" dialog box auto populated when I combined files, in Acrobat X it creates binder1 and then I have to click file and save as.  Is there a setting that I am missing so I do not have to do the extra step of file, save as?

    Hi cp-daytona,
    Please elaborate your issue and if possible then please attach the screenshot.

  • How do I change the pdf version when combining files

    Thanks

  • "In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

    I converted multiple emails into a pdf file.  After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date.  How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

    Hi Softball ,
    Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.
    Thanks,

  • When combining files, Microsoft Office options missing

    In Acrobat Standard 8, when we go to Combine Files > Add Files > "Microsoft Office Word" (and Excel and PowerPoint) is not on the list of "All supported formats".  Microsoft Office 2010 is installed and Acrobat is up-to-date. Does anyone have a hint on how to get Word listed?
    This is happening on one of my co-workers computer, but I also have Acrobat 8 and Office 2010 and Word, Excel, and PowerPoint ARE listed on my computer.
    Thanks for any ideas!
    Tom

    Thanks for the response GKaiseril. It got me thinking...
    I had Office 2007 on my computer and recently upgraded to Office 2010, and that is probably why I still see "Microsoft Office" listed.  My co-worker has a clean install of Office 2010, and that is why she doesn't see "Microsoft Office".  At least I see some logic to it now.
