Errors Trying to combine files into a single PDF after update?

I am not sure if an adobe acrobat update caused this but I have not been able to since at least the second most recent update. I can insert pages but If select multiple pages there is always in issue with the order. I have not tried un-installing and re-installing yet. Please Help. Thank you.
Update: I tried un-installing and re-installing but did not work completely. I was able to combine some jpgs from the windows right click menu but I am not able to combine PDFs that I have converted from other tiffs or the tiffs themselves.

Hi jmorganparker,
This is quite unusual. Was it working fine for you before?
Please try updating to Acrobat 11.0.7 and check.

Problem combining files into a single PDF

Hi
I wonder if anyone has experienced this. Everytime I try to combine various pdfs into a single one, Acrobat Pro seems to crash or get stuck no dialogue window will come up and the only thing I can see is what I circled in red:
Hope somebody can help me.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. The error ocurrs even before I manage to choose files, the Combine Files into a Single PDF window doesn't even come up when I click on it from the menu. It is definitely not a problem with the files.
Best,

Combining files into a single pdf stopped working

I used to be able to combine files into a single pdf on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat XI Professional. Now when I select "combine files into a single pdf", I just get a short vertical line with a gray cloud around it in the center of my screen. Do I need to reinstall the program?

Hi geolawrocks,
Welcome to Forums, I would be more than happy to help you with the issue but, i have few questions.
1) What is the error message you get while combining files?
2) When did it last worked?
3)Any changes to the application/OS that you made (Update)?
If possible, Kindly include the screenshot.
Thanks,

Combine Files into a Single PDF option missing from start up in Acrobat Reader XI

The 'Combine Files into a Single PDF' option missing from start up in Acrobat Reader XI and is also not available on the right-click button.

There's no such thing as "Acrobat Reader XI". There's the free Reader, which doesn't have this option, and there's the paid product Acrobat, which does...

Combine files into a single PDF

I upgraded from Adobe 9 Professional to Adobe 11 professional. In version 9 I was able to select WORD and EXCEL files and drag them to combine into a single PDF. When i do that in version 11, I get an error message and i have to remove the files which defeats the purpose of combining into a single PDF. The message I get is "Cannot convert file to PDF. Please remove this file for the list." on the bottom in red is states "Acrobat does not support the conversation of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option." I am not a fan of portfolio and some of my vendors do not navigate well. If there a fix or a solution? What I am currently doing to make this work and it takes time is converting each EXCEL and WORD document to PDF and then using the "Combine into a Single PDF" option. Thanks.

Combine Files into a Single PDF with Same File Name

I have one PDF form that I have to fill in some data and a Microsoft Word Document. Sometimes I wait a few days so I need to complete the same PDF form. When I combine them, I get warning that PDF forms with the same name will be the same - if I do not want this, I should create a PDF portfolio. The portfolio does not see like I want. It combines the PDFs into some else.
I could change the names of the fields that I need, but I am sometimes afraid that I missed something.
Is there a way to get away with this issue so the combination is good? I have to fax the documents in once created and the portfolio does not seem like I can do that.
Adobe Acobat XI Pro and Windows 8.1
Thank you!
Corey

So I think I found it - you go to File - Save As Other - Discard and then check Flatten form fields. The fields can be changed (but that is fine, I am faxing the pages).
So I guess I am trying to verify, is this the correct way?
I ask because I found Eight Free Acrobat XI Actions for Legal Pros that leads me to down a .sequ file extension.
If the first one is correct, and I have a PDF page that needs to be used twice in the combination, this will work? And that data field (say 9ROW OF SERVICE) the first page can have 01/22/2014 and the second will have 01/23/2014? I just want to make sure because before when I reviewed the Binder, if I entered 01/23/2014, then the other PDF page has the incorrect date of 01/23/2014 instead of 01/22/2014. I ask this as well because sometimes I might have to change the date or something else in a field with the same field name, and that other PDF file will update.
Thank you!

Combining multiple files into a single PDF/A

The issue brought up in another discussion is the loss of PDF/A conformity when “merging” multiple PDF/A files into a single file (I use PDF/A for preservation of corporate records). The “insert” option retains conformity but does not allow inserting multiple files in a certain order, unless you insert them one by one (which is a pain when you have 50 files to attach).
The solutions I’ve come up with so far:
1) 1) In AAPro – combine files into a single PDF and then convert it to PDF/A using Preflight. This is easy, my only problem is that I don’t have AAPro (and AAStandard doesn’t convert to PDF/A).
2) 2) In AAStandard – combine files into a single PDF and then “print” to PDF/A. The problem of this “re-frying” is that it only creates PDF/A-1b (not 1a), bookmarks and OCR of scanned pages are lost, and files become significantly larger.
I wonder if anyone knows a more intelligent way around this problem, provided that I only have AAStandard. Thanks!

Well, when the .pdf is in the final, deliverable form; I open it in Mac preview mode and the sidebar is always extended showing a 'table of contents' rather than having each document in the pdf file have a number designating a page name, it shows each individual filename the pdf is composed of. Not too sure about bookmark, though. Thanks for the reply!
If you want, I can send the file to you.

Error combining Power Point 2007 files into a single pdf (Acrobat 11)

Hi, Am running Acrobat 11 and am getting an error when attempting to combine files. Trying to combine multiple power point 2007 files into a single PDF using Acrobat 11.

If choose yes or no I get the yellow error icon beside the PP files and eventually have to cancel the job.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Acrobat XI PRO: Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically in top, after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file

Hey
I have now tried for hours, but now I give up!
MY WISH -
Create a Table of Contents (TOC) automatically after I have combined several pdf.files into a single pdf.file.
I have already bookmarks, shown on the screen (see screenshot below) but I want those bookmark to be visualised in a separate TOC in the top of the combined files.
This new TOC (which I have inserted) shall be printable and serve as a cover page in a binder.
I have seen other cheap pdf.programs in the market (e.g. PDF Converter Professional 7.3) which are able to make the above things, easy, fast and nice.

Hiding filenames when combining multiple files into a single .pdf

I'm fairly new to this Acrobat X. I'm trying to assemble my portfolio to distribute to employers but I cannot seem to get rid/hide the filenames in the final pdf file. I was using the option to 'combine multiple files into a single pdf' because I was compiling images and documents to a single readable pdf file. I got all that done but once I open it, I'd see that each page would still contain the original file names rather than page numbers - which I prefer not to have employers see for the sake of tidiness (and I refuse to use the Adobe portfolio because it's not really efficient on space or design. I prefer a simple page-by-page pdf). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to hide my file names, change them into page numbers or getting rid of them all together so the 'Table of Contents' in the pdf preview mode would not show anything, I would really much appreciate it.

Combining FDF files into a single PDF

Problem: I have 9 FDF files that were generated using a python script from within a database. The all refer to a common template PDF form. When I open each file the data is correct for each one. I need to be able to combine the 9 files into a single PDF document (9 pages long). This isn’t a onetime task, so the process needs to be easily repeatable.
Ii tried opening each FDF then saving them as PDF’s, the ODF’s all look correct, each files containing the appropriate data. This issue with this is once combined all 9 pages reflect the data from sheet #1. It’s as if I’ve just pulled in sheet #1 9 times.
I’m very new to the FDF format and am a little confused as to why this is happening.
Any help would be very much appreciated
Jon

This is correct, and working as designed.
If you use the same field name on two pages, they are the same field.
So, if you combine two documents with the same field name, they are the same field, and will have the same contents.
This is a key reason why PDF portfolios were invented.

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.

Acrobat Pro 9: "Merge files into a single pdf" creates blank pages

I have a similar problem as a previous post (which hasn't been answered).
I am able to pdf individual Word documents fine, but when I try to Combine > Merge files into a single pdf, the resulting pdf pages are all blank. I don't receive any error messages or have problems saving the file.
I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (9.5.1) on Windows 7.
The merging of pdf's hasn't worked at all since I installed the program.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Bill
Thanks so very much - you have solved the problem.
I tried Document > Insert Pages and that worked.
I then ran the "Repair" feature on Adobe which installed a few updates and I am now also able to merge pdf's by using the "Combine" feature and all the pages show the text/info.
Thanks again for your help, it is very much appreciated.
Thank you also to Apoorv for your assistance.

Open the "Merge Files into a Single PDF" utility via script or exe?

Greetings:
I'm trying to find a method to open the Merge Files into a Single PDF utilty without opening Acrobat first. Does anyone have some example code on how to open this dialog window? It doesn't matter what language it is in, I can do the legwork to translate it to something I can understand.
Ideally, I'd like to open the combine/merge window through an EXE or VBScript and pass it a handful of filenames that would appear in the programs list to process.
Any help would be *GREATLY* appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
As far as I am aware it is not possible to pass a list of files to this dialog using any API in Acrobat.
You could however create your own VB .net application that has a mutli file select dialog box and the use the JSObject to merge all those files and open the resultant file in Acrobat.
There are samples in the Acrobat SDK that show how to use the JSObject and the JavaScript function you could use to perform the merge are in the SDK documentation, I would start with investigating "insertPages".
Please note that using the Acrobat SDK requires the Acrobat program to be installed and it will also need to be running in order to convert the files.
Hope this helps
Malcolm
