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

    Sara,
    Please see my answers in bold below.
    What browser are you using? Try clearing the cache, or using a different browser. N/A
    Are you converting from within Reader, or directly via the ExportPDF website. Within Reader.I disabled the OCR and this did not work either. Try converting from within Reader, and disable OCR as detailed in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel.
    Are you on a networked computer? Make sure that there aren't any firewall/proxy settings that are preventing you from uploading files to the Internet. Not having problems uploading the file--that works fine.
    Make sure the file is within the file-size limit of 100 MB. It is <40.
    I get the error message, "File failed to be converted using Adobe ExportPDF online."
    Thanks for your help in advance.

  • Error when combining Visio 2010 files in Acrobat X Pro

    Getting the error message No PDF was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error when i try to combine Visio 2010 files into one PDF with Acrobat X Pro.  Ive done this many many times before and it worked fine.  It also works fine on another PC in the office with the same software installed on it.  It just decided one day to quit working.  Ive tried to reinstall both programs without success.  I dont have this issue with any other type of file just Visio 2010 files.  I can go into Visio and convert the file there and then combine it with other files after it has been converted as a seperate PDF file, but that is alot more cumbersome than just drag drop and combine.  How can I fix this?

    Did you updates X or have 10.0.0? The updates are required for use with OFFICE 2010.

  • 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.

  • Unidentified error when combining word documents on Acrobat 8 standard

    One of our users is currently running Office 2007 and Acrobat 8 Standard.  Whenever she tries to combine multiple word files into one PDF, each file in the list will say "Error (file skipped)".  The Status will say "PDF conversion process failed, please correct the error and retry."  Afterwards I get an error of "No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error."  Printing to the PDF printer from Word works just fine, however this problem only seems to occur when combining word files.  I have logged onto the PC as a network administrator and everything works correctly.  Any Ideas?
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

    It may be as simple as updating Acrobat. I think you needed AA8.1.3 to work with OFFICE 2007. Try to use the create PDF selection under the Acrobat menu in WORD (this is PDF Maker) and see if you can create a PDF. If there is no Acrobat menu, then PDF Maker is not active in WORD and is the basic problem you are having. PDF Maker has to be working for the Acrobat function you are using to be useful.

  • Error when combining Power Point docs into PDF in 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.  Am getting an error "unable to find Adobe PDF resource files.  Do you want to run the installer in repair mode".  If choose yes or no I get the yellow error icon beside the PP files and eventually have to cancel the job.

    Could you make sure you don't have any extra Apache libraries hanging around in your global classpath, i.e. ensure there is nothing extra in <J2SE Home>/jre/lib/extThere's a xercesImp.jar under mid/j2ee/OC4J_Portal/applications/jpdk/jpdk/WEB-INF/lib/xercesImpl.jar, but there's also one under jwsdp-1.2/jaxp/lib/endorsed/xercesImpl.jar. Is that supposed to be in there?
    Neither of these are getting loaded, though; running java -verbose shows that all of org.apache.xalan.* is being loaded from mid/jdk/jre/lib/rt.jar
    FWIW, ../../lib/xmlparserv2.jar does exist, but doesn't look like it's being loaded. :-\

  • Error when Combining Multiple File Types

    I can't combine multiple file types into one pdf, e.g. .docx and .xlsx files.  The combine feature only seems to be working to combine .pdf and .jpg file types.  An error message stating the below appears. Does anyone have a solution? 
    Thank you. 

    no i can't seem to do that either. the only way I have found to get around it. It's long winded... i export the jpgs from Indesign CS4, then take the jpgs into photoshop CS4 and baiscally resave over the top the of the original jpg without changing any settings, this will then let me combine them in Acrobat Pro 9. for now i will be doing it that way but if anyone knows of another way that would be great.

  • Conversion Failure when combining less than 12 files

    Cleared cache on Firefox.  Files are less than 300kb each.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Stephen Howard,
    No, nothing as such!!
    Firefox is compatible with our products and services,
    I would recommend you to update your Firefox browser to the latest version ( If it isn't Updated) and then Try Clearing Cache and History of your Firefox browser, Later try Converting that file again using Firefox.
    Please let me know if you face any Problem.
    Hope that helps

  • Error when combining PDFs in Acrobat 4.0

    My workstation is a bit of an older computer and it only has Acrobat 4.0 so I'm hoping people will remember enough about it to help me. I've been making several PDFs out of a large group of old Word Perfect documents and I need to combine them into a single PDF. It has been going well for the first 8 parts, but the 9th and 10th are giving me an error message. It says that "These documents contain subset fonts that have the same name and cannot be merged."
    I'm hoping someone here will know what that means and will be able to advise me on how to solve this problem. Thanks.

    I'll give that a try, thanks. It's a fairly old set of files I'm working on so it would be great if I can make this work for a single integrated PDF.
    If you do have AA4.0, I would appreciate it if you would check that as well. The files are going to come out to around a 250 page document when I get them all assembled and I'm not sure exactly which fonts are causing the trouble yet.

  • Error when combining pdf docs to one doc

    For the past two days I have tried to combine less than 12 pdf files into one PDF file (which I've done successfully just last week). Now I'm getting the following message:
    "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 fewer and fewer docs but am getting the same message.
    Does anyone know if there's a problem with the website? Or how to fix the issue?
    HELP!! Thanks

    No, actually , it's a subscription to an online service and it can be accessed from ANY terminal that has  an Internet connection, with or without Reader (https://www.acrobat.com/misc/en/system-requirements.html). I could use it at the Library, Kinko's printing, or at home, if I was signed up for it.
    I have Acrobat Pro though, so I don't need it. Nevertheless, it's a service, NOT Reader software, and they have a forum to deal specifically with it, staffed by people who know how to use it. I don't.
