Batch limit of 256 files in Acrobat Pro 8 and 9?

I've recently encountered a problem where Acrobat Pro (8 and 9) will not batch process more than 256 files.
I maintain a technical reference collection of 1500 PDFs that I sometimes run batch operations on for routine housekeeping.  I've been doing these types of batch operations for the last 5 or so years without problem.
At first, I thought it might be something corrupt in some of the files, but an experiment ruled out that possibility.
I used Acrobat Pro 9 to create a blank, one-page pdf.
I then used the following DOS command
     for /L %f in (1,1,300) do copy D:\batch_test\blank.pdf D:\batch_test\%fblank.pdf
to create 300 identical copies named 1blank.pdf, 2blank.pdf, ..., 300blank.pdf . 
Each file was 6 Kb in size.
I then ran different batch operations (count number of files, count number of pages, number pages) on the folder containing the 300 blank files using the batch processing utilities accessible from  Advanced > Document Processing > Batch Processing.
In all cases, the batches processed 256 files and then stated that they could not open the remaining files. 
The stated reason that it could not open the remaining files is that they "are already open."
When I looked in the output folder (a different folder from D:\batch_test) designated for the batch operation, I found 256 files had been processed.
Has anyone else encountered a similar limit?
I'm not a programmer, but I recall 256 being some type of array limit for some programming languages and wondered if this might be related to the cause.

The problem appears to be related to a plugin for geopdf enabled files.  I've written to the company's support group.

  • Word 2007 won't save files with Acrobat Pro 9.0 Installed

    Last night an issue started occurring while trying to save a document in MS Word 2007 (part of an Office Ultimate install).  After about 10 hours of trying several suggestions from a variety of forums and MS suggestions I found that the only time I cannot save a file by traditional means is when Acrobat is installed.  I tried updating Acrobate and had the same thing happen.  MS says all that's left for me to do is get an answer from Adobe (I have to wonder if it's a copout).
    Steps taken so far:
    Disabled the PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
    Removed PDF add-in - still unable to save Word files
    Removed entire CS4 suite - Word was able to properly save files
    Installed only the parts of the suite that I use frequently (Photoshop, Soundbooth, Premiere, Acrobat) - unable to save Word files
    Removed Acrobat Pro 9.0 - Word saves files properly again
    When I say it will not save a file I've tried the keyboard shortcuts for Save/Save As, Choosing the Save/Save As from drop down, and even attempted to save by closing the document.  When prompted with the option to save changes I say yes and nothing will happen, I have to close the document with nothing saved.
    I hate the idea of reinstalling Acrobat each time I need to use it to keep Word functional.  I've seen a ton of threads on other forums related to this issue.  Has anybody else seen this or know about a fix/work around?  Any help is appreciated.  Please let me know if additional detail is necessary.
    The operating system for the affected computer is Windows 7 32-bit.

    I installed each update individually (6 of them) and rebooted after each update.  Opened Word and attempted to save a document (after each update/reboot), the documents still cannot be saved (previously created documents still cannot have new detail saved).
    Decided to delete the Office folder in the following path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Office
    Opened up word and Acrobat went through an installation processes, to replace what was removed I assume.  After this was done I attempted to save a document and was still unable to do so.  Went back and deleted that Office folder in the above path again.  When opening Word this time I cancelled the installation process that Adobe was trying to complete.  Preventing the install of the settings and PDF add-in allowed documents to be saved again in word.
    I decided to try to remove the innactive add-in from my Word Options and received the following error message:
    "The connected state of Office Add-Ins registered in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE cannot be changed"
    Due to my deleting that folder?
    I suppose I could cancel that installation that initiates each time I open Word (or any other Office program that benefits from Acrobat Add-ins) but that will be a bit of an annoyance.
    Anybody have another suggestion, know what may need to be deleted from the registry to prevent the Add-ins installation when opening Word, or know where that setting can be changed?
    Hopefully getting close to a resolution

  • I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI

    I can't use thunderbird 31.2.0 (Mozilla) to send attachement from a pdf file with Acrobat PRO XI. Each time, Acrobat replies (in french) : "il n'y a pas de client pour la messagerie par défaut". Thunderbird is indicated as "by default" in the list of programs of Windows.
    Even if I type my e-mail address, etc. in the account of Acrobat, it doesn't change. Each time, I have to record a PDF file in a folder and return to Thunderbird to send it as attached. It is a too long process,  compared with Windows XP with Acrobat Reader or Acrobat 5, I had before.
    Would you please help me to explain the process. My OS is Windows 8.1.
    Thank you

    Thank you for your answer.
    What i want to do : to send PDF files as attached documents in a message
    generated by thunderbird by my e-mail address [email protected] or
    another one I have.
    When I introduce my e-mail address under Edit-Preferences-Email
    Accounts, Acrobat ask the e-mail account, the password, the IMAP for
    ingoing message (and I use POP) and SMTP for outgoing messages. Even I
    introduce all the datas, it doesn't change, Acrobat is unable to send
    the message. And the process is not convenient, because I need all my
    outgoing messages be documented inside Thunderbird.
    So, I repeat my request : how can I use thenderbird as program by
    default from Acrobat or any other software ?
    Thank you for your next message.

  • How to use Javascript, C#, or Java to automatically fill out a PDF file using ACROBAT PRO

    Hi.
    I have purchased a copy of acrobat pro and am currently using it to try to create a method of populating certain fields in a PDF file.
    This particualar scenerio is a printable cerficiate, it has a spot for the persons First Name, Last Name, and other basic info.
    So we have an exisiting editable PDF, a database with the user's info, and a ASP.NET web server, and of course Acrobat Pro.
    How can I use these components to create an auto fill script?
    Ideally, we'd genereate these certs on the fly, and allow users to download them.
    A code sample would be awesome.
    Thanks!
    --shawn

    I've discovered that you can create a "PDF Form" and edit that form with Javascript.
    My question now is, what is the prefered method for controlling the pdf form?
    I would like to include the PDF file in an HTML page and edit the form fields using javascript in that HTML page.
    I think that this is how developers are meant to work with dynamic pdf files.
    In the acrobat javascript reference, it only shows an example using the acrobat javascript console.
    If anyone has used Javascript with PDFs, I would highly appricate some input.
    Thanks,

  • How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X?

    How can I convert a PDF/A file into a PDF file with Acrobat Pro X? I'd like to modifiy the file which I have only as a PDF/A.

    There's two answers if you want to modify the file:
    You can temporarily turn off PDF/A Mode in your preferences, so they don't open as read-only. The problem would be if you do something to the file that violated the PDF/A standard, so you should always run a Preflight check afterwards to make sure.
    If you want to remove the PDF/A header tag, use Preflight again - it's on the Print Production Panel in Acrobat X Pro (which may be hidden, use the options menu on the Tools Pane to show it). There's a profile called "Remove PDF/A information" - choose this and press Analyze and Fix. Nothing else about the file will be altered but when you save and reopen it all the editing tools will become active.

  • Optimize a large number of pdf files using Acrobat Pro XI

    I have Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and need to optimize a large number of scanned files and other pdf's that are quite large. Is there any way to optimize multiple files at the same time, or do I have to do them one at a time (a major bummer if this is the case). I read on the forums that Acrobat Pro 9 had this capablity, so I can't imagine that a newer version wouldn't have it. Thanks for your help.

    You can use an Action to process multiple files in Acrobat Pro XI, via Tools - Action Wizard.
    Add to it a Save command and there you'll be able to specify that you want to optimize the file.

  • Install order of Acrobat Pro and other CC applications

    I work at a college and we're just getting started with Creative Cloud. When setting up the first seat of CC for my institution, it was a device license on a Windows 7 system. Only after my first attempt failed did I find the instructions for the command-line install of Acrobat Pro, and that it needed to be done before any other CC applications. This was surprising, but the instructions were effective after I uninstalled everything and started over.
    Now I have a named user to set up on a Mac OS 10.9.5 system, and I'd like to do it right the first time. Anyone out there have any advice for me on this?
    TIA, David

    The command line install for Acrobat Pro Windows 7 is not that bad, the install information is all included in the packager once the its created.
    In your exceptions folder there is file called Exceptioninfo.txt, if you read this you will see the correct way to install using command line.  Below is an example of how to create a batch file to double click instead of typing these commands repeatedly.
    Going even one step further you can do the following.
    1) Copy the deployment package to the desktop
    2) in the Exceptions folder create a new text document and call it "Acrobat_installer" or something of that nature, copy and paste the following into it.
    cd \users\(username) \desktop\(Package folder name)\(package name)\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    3) Enter your windows user profile name in (user name) - Enter the (package folder name) enter the (package name you created)
    4) Save the text document as "Acrobat_installer.bat"
    Keep in mind you will copy this .bat file into the exceptions folder of your deployment package.
    Lastly ensuring the user name is correct, run the batch file(.bat)  on the PC.
    Here is my example:  Bold are the parts I mentioned above.
    cd users\cpreslar\desktop\TAG_CCIP_7_14_2014\TAG Creative Cloud Installer Package 7142014\Exceptions
    ExceptionDeployer --workflow=install --mode=pre
    Feel free to use this next time you have to do a windows deployment.

  • Fillable form created with Acrobat Pro and sent to iPad by email.

    I Create a Fillable form in Acrobat Pro and emailed it to an iPad. I loaded the PDF into Acrobat Reader for iOS. The file is opened, all fields filled and then it is emailed. So far so good.  I then exit reader iOS. Later when I come back in and open the file the fields are still filled. If I do this same process on a windows PC Acrobat reader functions exactly the same but will not save the data in the form when the application is exited. This is exactly what I want. How do I get Reader iOS to perform in this manner? It is imperative that the fields in this form be empty every time I open it on the iPad. 
    THanks

    If I open your Form with Reader XI, modify it, then close it, I am prompted to Save.  If I select “Don’t Save”, then, of course, the modification is not saved.  If I select “Save”, the modification is saved.  So it does not appear that any logic has been embedded into the form that clears the modifications prior to Save.  Its possible that older versions of Reader do not permit Save, however, a user using the current version of Reader: Reader XI would need to be trained to select the “Don’t Save” button for your workflow to be valid.
    With the Mobile Reader, save is implicit.  So there is no prompt to Save on close.  The modifications are saved automatically.
    If you want to start with a reset form each time it is opened, there are a couple alternatives:
    Users can duplicate the unfilled form and work with the duplicate each time, thereby leaving the original in its unfilled state.
    You can embed some instructions into the form that clear its contents on form open.  Note that with this option, the prior content (pre-clear) will still be in the file even though it is not presented to the user.  This would be a problem if multiple users were using the same device and the form content were sensitive.
    I’ve sent you a version of your form with option 2. implemented that you can try.

    Hi Bruno ,
    Could you please verify the Acrobat version you are using is the latest Acrobat DC or some older version ?
    Does this happen with any particular PDF file or all the documents ?
    If you haven' tried repairing your Acrobat ,please try the same and see if that helps .
    For repairing Acrobat Launch Acrobat>Navigate to Help> Repair Acrobat Installation .
    If that does not work you could probably uninstall the software and try downloading it again and see if that fixes the issue .

    Hi Mbs@adobe,
    It sounds to me like you're trying to open a PDF via one of the Acrobat online services, not via Acrobat. Did you install the file that you downloaded after you signed up? Once you do, Acrobat will be installed on your computer, and you can run it locally (you don't access an Acrobat Pro subscription via the web--it works just like a version of Acrobat that you might purchase from the Adobe Store, or a large retailer).
    Then, you'll open the Acrobat application from your desktop and choose File > Open to open your PDF file.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara
