Acrobat closes after merging files

When trying to combine multiple PDF files, Acrobat will close. There are no error messages and nothing is reported in Event Viewer. I have tried by selecting all files and then right-clicking "Combine files...", Opening the Combine Files menu option from within Acrobat. Each option ends with the same result; Acrobat will just close without error.
I have tried repairing the installation and restarted the computer a couple times. There are no updates need for the application.
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
Version: Adobe Arobat 9 Pro

Ok, let's see if I've got it this time.
1. You want to make a PDF from a FrameMaker document.
2. In it are placed PDFs as illustrations.
3. You want it to be a normal, single, self-contained PDF.
4. When you look at the PDF, you see the illustrations on screen where you want them.
5. But when you click on those illustrations it closes the PDF and instead opens the illustration PDF that you started with (and closes the PDF you made).
6. And this illustration PDF won't even be on the computers where the end user is looking at the PDF.
Is this right? Especially step 5, is it definitely opening the actual picture file you placed? Or a different one with the picture in it?

Acrobat 9 Pro Merge Files Into Single PDF

Just wanted to know if there's a way on Acrobat 9 Pro,i can select a folder using Merge Files Into Single PDF and have it merge each of the subfolders in the folder into separate single PDFs and have then retain the names of their corresponding subfolders? At the moment i'm having to do one folder at a time and then name them.
Any help would be great

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.

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.

Acrobat closes after opening an embedded pdf

Hello
I have created a pdf from Framemaker which in itself has a lot of pdf illustrations.
When I click on one of these illustrations, they open in Acrobat but close the master file.
Can I stop this?

Adobe Acrobat closes after error...

I am getting the following error each time I open Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Professional...
"An error has been detected with a required application library and the product cannot continue. Please reinstall the application."
I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the program. It didn't help, got the same error shortly after opening the program.
What is strange is that the problem just suddenly appeared therefore, I believe that it may have been malware related causing this problem. And I have had this program and have been using it without any problems now for over 3 years.
It appears that a vital part of the program is being blocked.
Can anyone please help and offer a detailed solution to this problem? Maybe someone has already encountered it.
Thank you!

Gaps In between Letters Of Full Words When Merging Files To Single .pdf Adobe Acrobat 9.3.4 Pro

Setup
Windows XP SP3 + Office 2007 Pro
Also, tested on Windows 7 64x + Office 2007 Pro
Same Issues.
The steps used are:
1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
2) Click File
3) Combine
4) Merge Files into a single PDF
5) Add Files (select the required files)
6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
Results:
A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
Expected results:
A single PDF with the same formatting and layout as the original files.
I can not post screenshots of this issue for sercurity concerns but here is an example.
From my word document / or pdf (either way)
Drawing Contents
Fabrication Notes
Bill of Materials
Assembly Notes
Top Assembly Drawing
Bottom Assembly Drawing
Schematics
After the Merging of the files

EDIT: isn't constant, so its just not these letters its random
Note: Tested this issue with Acrobat 8, and did not have this issue.
Please Help

Thanks for the response.
I have checked though the Word documents that were used in the most recent merge. They don't have any spaces at these areas or strange formatting. I turned on the Show/Hide option to confirm if there was anything odd but I could not see anything. The formatting (Ctrl+D) shows the default font Arial, Regular, font 12.
The interesting thing is that if it occurs and attempt another file merge the gaps are no longer there. Which makes me think this is unlikely to be the documents and formatting being used and more likely to be a bug in Adobe Acrobat.
Is there anything else that might be of use to know?

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files...

I Just downloaded Acrobat Pro after trial and now I can't open any files, when I click on icon I get this message: the last time you opened Acrobat, it unexpectedly quit while reopening windows. Do you want to try to reopen its window again? If you choose not to reopen windows, you may have to open and position the window yourself. There are 2 options: Don't Reopen or Reopen Either choice leads to a window that pops upend says please wait while we launch Acrobat and then window just closes quickly.

Hi mbt6833,
You may goto control panel and then go to program and features.
Select the Acrobat pro and chose the option change from the top. Fallow the onscreen instruction a windows will pop up where you need to choose repair.

Saved my Photoshop file after merging layers then closed Photoshop, can I restore back to how I had it?

Hello,
I saved a really important client Photoshop file after merging layers then closed Photoshop, can I restore back to how I had it before I merged the layers? or just back a day or two..it's been a couple hours.

No, unless… you are on a Mac and have Time Machine backups, or can restore your Windows box back to an earlier poit in time.
But there's nothing within the Photoshop application itself to help you once you save and close a file,

Creative cloud acrobat closes doc after 20 seconds

The acrobat will close after 20 to 30 seconds after opening a pdf document. the application used to work but now does this every time. Anyone have an answer? its on a PC with win7 64 bit lots of ram and did work fine until today.

Hi,
Please navigate to C:\Program Files (X86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache and rename Cache file inside the Cache folder.
and rename it to Cache.db_old
Launch Photoshop (or any Creative Suite Product installed) and Click on 'Help' > 'Deactivate'.
Close it and open Photoshop again to activate.
Sign in using your Adobe ID
Now, please try to launch Acrobat and try to use and check if it works fine. If prompts Trial, then serialize Acrobat again.
Else, Try to launch Acrobat X, and instantly click on Help -> Check for updates see if Acrobat attempts to download the latest version 10.1.3, if it's downloaded successfully. Install the patch and check if Acrobat works. Alternatively, click on Help -> Repair Acrobat installation.

Access DB (& .ldb file) does not close after crystal reports

Access DB (& .ldb file) does not close after crystal reports
Hi! We have a VB application using Crystal Reports 6 that has worked successfully on hundreds of systems for over 10 years. Now, on one network, the application and access database does not close. It seems to hang on the [.Close] command.
When we open the application an peruse the screens without opening up a report (using crystal reports), the application and access db closes fine. But as soon as we run a report and then close the report and try to close the application, the access db does not close. Many of the screens open the db and grab data from the access db, but it's only after running crystal reports that we have this problem. (Please see more information below.)
Setup: Application and data (access 97 db) reside on a server in the same folder, but application shortcut is kicked off on client PC. Kicking off the shortcut on the client PC means that the image/process runs on the client PC (not on the server). In this problem case, the application shortcut is on a Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2 PC with the app & data on a Windows 2003 server. Users are local Admins on their PCs with "Full Control"over the directory and files on the server where the data (access 97 db) resides. This type of setup is typical and has worked without any problems for clients.
The application is written in Visual Basic, using Crystal Reports 6 (using DAO). We close the recordset, set it to zero and then it hangs on closing the db (.Close command).
A few key pieces of information:
- The application closes fine if the app & data (access 97 db) are on a local PC. This includes closing fine if the application is run directly on the Windows 2003 server where the data is stored.
- It worked on this client's network until sometime in the last few weeks.
- One thing that changed is that the company is using VMWare on its servers. Not sure if they started using VMWare at the same time as it started failing. This may be unrelated. Possibly other things changed, but can't get any more information ... yet.
- It works fine running the application from a Windows Vista PC with a user who is a domain admin.
- The access db and application hang for about 10-20 minutes and then eventually closes. It appears that somehow
Crystal Reports is keeping the db open, but I'm not sure why.The application doesn't quit and the database doesn't close even if I try to end the task with the Task Manager.
- The Crystl32.ocx version being used is 8.0.0.4 (if that matters).
- I copied 6 month old program files and database files to a test folder on the Windows 2003 server. It fails using these files that worked fine 6 months ago.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! If you know of another good place to post this, please let me know.
Thanks!
- Mark

Crystal doesn't support tables in HTML interpretation.
You can probably work your way around this by doing Replace() calls on the relevant tags.

Send message windows doesn't close after sending attached PDF from Acrobat

I have several forms that I have created in Acrobat 9 Pro. These forms have a button set to submit to an email address. After filling out the form, and clicking on the submit button some, but not all, of users with Outlook 2007 are having a problem with the send message window not closing after sending the email.
When they click the button the email is created with the form as an attachment. When they click the send button in the send message window the message goes into the outbox, and then gets sent no problems. But the send message window never closes after sending the message. So my users think the message never got sent.
The computers that I am seeing this on all run XP, have Outlook 2007, and use Acrobat Standard 8. On some computers it works just fine, and on others it has the problem. It must be a setting somewhere but I can not figure it out.
Closing the window by clicking on the "X" is no problem, but many of my users are pretty new to computers know very little about them. So something like this causes them a lot of problems.
Any suggestions?
Trudy

My apologies, when I said "instance" I meant window.
I also just realized the new window and then closing behavior only happens when the iTunes link clicked is in an email in Mail (presumably, this would also happen in other desktop email clients). When an iTunes link in Safari is clicked, the "iTunes loading" white page appears for a moment and then Safari navigates back to the page with the link. However, that isn't working properly, either. The white page continues to "load" indefinitely and never returns to the previous page.

PDF file size after merging

I use Preview to merge PDF files. I have noticed that the resulting files are a lot larger than the sum of the single PDFs. An example: I have 3 files with the following file sizes: 70 KB, 120 KB, 1.3 MB. The resulting PDF after merging those files in one is over 5 MB.
Does anyone know why this is the case and how I can avoid it?
Any help is highly appreciated!
Tobias

Yes, I also have this problem.
Several PDFs with a combined size of ~13 MB, when merged are over 40 MB, making it unsendable by e-mail.
Very annoying!
This results from using Preview's "drag and drop" onto the sidebar to merge PDFs. DOn't know why.

Gaps inbetween letters of full words when Merging files to single PDF (Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard)

I've raised a Bug Report although it says that I may not be contacted so thought someone else might have encountered this issue and hopefully knows what causes it and how to fix. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Heres a copy of the Bug Report details...
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
An intermitent issue is occuring when merging multiple files into a single PDF in Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Standard, the resulting PDF file has gaps inbetween the letters of actual words. For example the word "document" may appear in part of the PDF as "doc ument". This seems to affect various parts of the final PDF file.
Setup: Windows XP SP2, Adobe Acrobat 9.0, Microsoft Office Standard Edition 2003
Steps to reproduce bug:
I am currently unable to replicate the issue on demand but this has happened three times since installing Adobe Acrobat 9.0 a month ago. The most recent occurance happened when merging 6 Microsoft Word Documents. It is a real problem due to the fact that every PDF created needs to be carefully checked and in some cases these PDFs have hundreds of pages.
The steps used are:
1) Open Adobe Acrobat 9.0
2) Click File
3) Combine
4) Merge Files into a single PDF
5) Add Files (select the required files)
6) Combine Files (which then processes and creates single PDF)
Results:
A single PDF is then created and as mentioned is occasionally affected by this issue of random gaps appearing within words.
Expected results:
A single PDF with the same formatting and layout as the original files.

Thanks for the response.
