Acrobat X Pro lagging/never finishing while combining files into pdf?

Hi all,
I'm trying to complete the simple task of combining multiple word documents into one pdf.  Since my ultimate product will be very long, I tried to do a test with 2 very small size (text only) word documents.  Even this TEST failed to combine -- acrobat hung while "converting" the first file, even after waiting 15+ minutes. How long does this process take?? What am I doing wrong?

Somethings to try:
If not already done ensure all available Acrobat X updates are done.
Open the MS Word files and output PDF from each.
Then open Acrobat X Pro and use the Combine feature to aggregate the PDF files.
Be well...

  • Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

    Good day.
    Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

    Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

  • Problem with Funktion "Combine Files into PDF" on Samba Fileshares

    Hi!
    When i try to combine Files from a Sambashare witch is connected as V: (\\Server\all_x) then i can choose the Files from the location but when i klick "Combine Files" after a while the ErrorMessage "Cannot open U:\_x\test.doc" Check if you have permission.
    Why suddenly Adobe Acrobat will read the File form U: instead of V: ?
    The Path before "Underline" (Underscore) was removed : "all_x" -> "_x"
    When i renamed the Sambshare to allx without "_" everything is ok.
    I can simulate this failure on every Windows XP Workstation. (SP3+all Updates)
    Adobe Acrobat X 10.0.0
    Samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9
    Is this an issue in samba or in Adobe Acrobat?
    Update:
    This only happens when an other fileshare exists with same name at the beginning.
    example:
    U: -> \\servername\alle
    V: -> \\servername\allev or alle_v  (he underscore has no relevance....)
    when v: is \\servrname\examplepdf or any other name exept "alle" at the beginning everything is ok.
    very strange...
    greetings

    Have you checked the preferences in Acrobat to see if they have gotten changed?

  • Combine Files into PDF

    Hello,
    I've recently restored my computer to factory settings and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10) as well as Microsoft Office 2010. My system is Windows 8.1.
    When I try to combine .docx or .xlsx files to pdf, I get the error message:
    'Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option.'
    This issue does not occur when I save the individual files to pdf from the Word or Excel program, then combine the pdfs into a single file. However, I would prefer not to have to convert the files manually due to the large volume of files.
    What I also don't understand is why the function used to work perfectly fine, but not anymore.
    (Actions Taken)
    - Verified Adobe plugin enabled in Microsoft Office
    - Verified registry entries for the file extensions
    - Repaired Acrobat and Microsoft Office

    Hi ,
    Did you try a repair for your Acrobat ,if not ,please run a repair for your Acrobat and see the outcome .
    I wonder the files you are trying to combine are not corrupt by any chance .This could also be one of the reasons you are getting that error message .
    Is it happening for some specific set of files or all the files you are trying to combine ?
    Please provide us with the mentioned details so that we can analyse at our end and update you with an appropriate solution .
    It would be great if you could share few sample files with us in order for us to check them .
    If possible please share the files on [email protected]

  • Combining files into PDF

    I am trying to combine word and excel files into a pdf document but I keep on getting file errors and it wont produce a pdf, the software is acrobat xi pro

    What is the error? What version of Acrobat, WORD, Excel, and OS? The latter info helps us check compatibility right off the bat. Do you have an Acrobat menu item in WORD and Excel? If not, it is most likely that PDF Maker is not compatible for your OFFICE and you will just have to print each file to PDF and then combine the PDFs in Acrobat.

  • Combine Files into PDF no longer working in Acrobat XI Standard

    Acrobat XI Standard now displays error "Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator." I am a single user on a single Windows 8.1 machine not on a network. Acrobat XI Standard installed from disc and then updated. Also running Office 2013. This worked fine until a few weeks ago as well as the right-click "Convert to PDF" option - now gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat XI completely. I have completed the full on-line Office repair as well. Same error. Any help would be appreciated - thank you.

    Behavior for PDFs is not handled by SharePoint, but rather Adobe Acrobat. Validate Adobe Acrobat's PDF browser extension has been disabled (you can do this via IE and I believe Adobe Acrobat has this option within it's own Preferences).

  • 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.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro does not list MS Office files as supported files

    I've tried this on 4 different computers. All computers are running Windows 7 and Microsoft Office 2007. 2 of the computers are running Acrobat 9 Pro and 2 of the computers are running Acrobat 9 Standard. On two of the computers, one Pro and one Standard, if I try to combine files into a single PDF, it lists all MS Office documents as supported files. I can use Excel or Word to create the PDF. However, on the other two computers, again one Pro and one Standard, no MS Office files show up when I try to combine files into a single PDF. How can I fix this? I can Print to PDF using the Adobe PDF printer from Excel and Word on all 4 of the computers. And I've verified that the Acrobat COM Add-in is enabled and working properly. I've tried this on Acrobat 9.0 all the way up to Acrobat 9.5 with the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Ok, I now got to version 9.3.1
    But the procedure was some kind of weird:
    (I don't know if this is working everytime)
    1.) Deactivating Antivirus and firewall
    2.) Logging in as Administrator: Starting the manual update -> Known Error
    3.) Restarting computer
    4.) Logging in as User (with Admin-Rights): Starting the manual update
    Now the installer reports a running installation (from the adminstrator-account)
    and ask to remove it.
    Now click "yes"
    The installation proceeds successfully.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro zerstört Hyperlinks beim Einfügen von PDF Dokumenten in andere

    Hallo zusammen,
    folgendes Vorgehen führt zu einem Fehlverhalten beim Handling von Hyperlinks in PDF:
    Wir wandeln ein Worddokument mit Hilfe von Acrobat 9 Pro in eine PDF um. Im entstandenen PDF Dokument sind die Hyperlinks voll funktionstüchtig. (Hyperlink_in_PDF.PNG)
    Nun öffnen wir ein anderes vorhandenes PDF und wählen in Acrobat 9 Pro "Seiten einfügen", wählen das erste PDF aus und bestätigen. Das PDF scheint ordentlich integriert, die Hyperlinks wurden jedoch gekürzt und funktionieren nicht mehr (Hyperlink_nach_Zusammenführung.PNG).
    Wir haben den Updater laufen lassen und auf 9.2.0 upgedatet. Leider ohne Erfolg. Ist jemand dieses Fehlverhalten bekannt?
    Viele Grüße
    Philipp

    Guten Morgen Hans-Günter,
    egal was wir mit den Hyperlinks gemacht haben, der Fehler ist immer wieder aufgetreten.
    Ich habe jetzt einfach die Lizenz freigegeben (nur zur Sicherheit), Acrobat 9 deinstalliert und Acrobat X Pro als Testversion installiert. In der X scheint es zu funktionieren.
    Zuvor versuchte Reparaturinstallationen und Neuinstallationen waren leider in Version 9 nicht erfolgreich. Auch alle updates konnten nicht helfen.
    Danke trotzdem für deine Hilfe!

  • Acrobat XI Pro successfully installed, but it failed in converting word files into PDF, why?

    I just installed Adobe XI Pro through the download assistant, it looks the installation went well, but when I tried to convert word files into PDF (tried many times), it failed. Anyone has the same problems, any solutions?

    Please reply with more information - what your operating system is, do you have Office installed, and what exactly is happening. Is there an error message, does the application crash, and from where are you starting the conversion (using Word and PDFMaker, using Acrobat's Create button, or batch processing).

    Has anybody else seen this problem? Is there a fix?
    I wanted to download the demo of acrobat XI but it says the previous version will be removed and deactivate the license. That sucks!

    Yes it is up to date.
    I can use the stamp tool and flatten it after with no problems, but the typewriter tool crashes it upon attempting to flatten.
