Adobe Acrobat combining multiple pdf files causes unwanted duplicates

Hello All,
We're having an issue trying to combine multiple pdf documents into a single file. It doesn't happen all of the time, but what happens is the final pdf will have duplicate pages in them. A file that should only have 7 pages will have 14, the last 7 being repeats of the first 7. Has anyone encountered this issue and know how to resolve it? We're still using Acrobat 7 on Windows XP. Thanks for your help!

Thanks, but they're not dynamic forms with specific names, just straight up pdf documents with text and images. They are invoices from an automated process that create the pdf documents. The process itself does not use dynamic forms with specified field names. Not to mention every document created is exactly the same except for the customer info and images. The individual documents are then manually combined together by an office person and that is where we're having the problem. The issue does not happen all the time, just occasionally. Sorry if I didn't specify this in my original post.

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.

Create- combine multiple pdf files has stopped working? Adobe Acrobat Pro on Mac

Hi It's my first time on this forum. I'm a regular user of the create pdf by combining multiple pdfs. It always works no questions asked, but just a few days ago when I'd click on create and select Combine files into a single pdf nothing happens. Usually a pop up would let me identify the files to combine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Anne,
If all you need to do is combine the PDFs, and Acrobat continues to give you problems, you can have a go at the free program PDF Split and Merge. You will need Java installed on your computer to run it (Java apps run on all systems -- Mac, Windows and Linux, and mobile systems like Android and iOS). Acrobat hangs for me sometimes when trying to combine multiple PDFs, especially if the individual PDFs are of considerable file size. PDF "Sam" works fine for me when Acrobat won't. It also uses less memory and resources than mighty Acrobat, on my RAM-challenged (Windows) machine. As stated above, PDF Sam is a Java program, so it should work also on Mac. There are also system-specific downloads available on the author's web page.
Have a look-see at PDF Split and Merge at pdfsam.org/download (Go to "Other Platforms and Versions" to find the Mac-specific version).
Download Java (if it's not installed!) at java.com (Go to java.com/download/manual.jsp and scroll down for Mac OS X). *Java 7 requires at least Mac OS 10.7.3 to install; check "About This Mac" at Apple menu -> About This Mac... to see your system version.
Good luck

Tag structure lost while combining multiple PDF files

Hi All,
As per client requirements, we have been using ABBYY Fine reader to create PDFs. After creating multiple PDFs of a huge book (separated logically according to Units consisting diff Chapters), we have tagged them correctly.
We need to know put these tagged PDFs together. However, while combining multiple tagged files, we loss the Tagged structure!!! (using Adobe 8 Professional)
Any idea, why are we losing our tags in the combined file? Any help in this matter would be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Hello Steve (and ALL),
We are combining the files using File --> Combine Files... dialog box. We also tried Document --> Insert Pages. In both the cases, my tag structure of all files just dont appear!
While combining files we get the following:
Tags
--- Document
-----Part (Empty)
-----Part (Empty)
-----Part (Empty)
(The number of "Part" corresponds to the number of files I try to combine)
While Inserting the pages into a file, we only get to see the tag structure of the first file into which we insert the pages.
Are there any other methods to combine the files???
Regards,
Mamta

Is there any way to save an Adobe Acrobat X Pro pdf file as a Word file WITHOUT section breaks?

I need to save (export) several pdf files as Word files. I need the Word files to NOT have section breaks. Is this possible to do? I have tried the options in the Settings (Retain flowing text; Retain page layout) but it does not help.

Actually when thate are saved as Word what you see on the screen is what you get in Word. Where the lines end show as returns so you may have to hand remove all returns to join all parts of a sentence. So there may be section breaks or page breaks that you have to remove.

Error Message When Merging Multiple PDF Files into One PDF File

Good Morning,
I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to merge/combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file, but I keep receiving this error message:
Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you!

To fix:
Provide a unique name for each form field. This includes the individual PDFs fields. As you intend to combine/merge no field name in each of the individual PDFs can be the same.
Be well...

What version of adobe acrobat do I need to combine mutilple pdf files into one PDF document?

What version of adobe acrobat do I need to combine mutilple pdf files into one PDF document? I am wanting to know if Adobe Acrobat Standard XI can combine multiple PDFs for do I need to stick with Adobe Acrobat Professional XI?

Acrobat Standard can combine PDF files.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. Mac users can no longer read the page numbers but pc users can.

I am using CC adobe Acrobat to combine multiple pdfs and add page numbers. As of about 2 weeks ago the mac users can no longer read the page numbers they get a font error message and see only -- where the page information should be. The pc users do not have this same problem. When I replace our regular font (URW Grotesk) with a system font (Verdana) everyone is able to read the page numbers. This is a new issues, I have been creating these documents in the same way for years without a problem. I have been on hold and on and off calls for the last two hours, I keep getting hung up on once I find someone in adobe support to talk to!

Hi KnoopL,
Are the Mac users using Preview to view the pdfs or Adobe Reader?

In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
Thanks for any tips.

Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software

Adobe Acrobat V9 Professional crashes or causes PDFs to be corrupted when using Dragon software. I use Nuance Dragon NaturallySpeaking 11.5 to assist me when I add comments to a PDF. I also use it when making additions or changes to text. When I use the two software programs together, Acrobat constantly crashes. If it doesn't crash, an error occurs trying to save the file. I entered 988 comments into a 158-pg PDF, only to find the file was corrupted and couldn't be printed. I also could not see the list of comments (click Show Comments).
These problems do not occur if I don't use both products simultaneously.

Never overwrite a clip that is used in Pr. Give the
modified/corrected/updated clip a new name and import that into your Pr
project. Then Alt+Drag the new clip on top of the old clip in the
timeline to replace the clip instance.
If import-then-drag isn't your style, then right-clicking the original
clip in the Project panel and selecting Replace Footage will accomplish
the same thing.
This important rule applies in Encore as well.
