Can I covert multiple Word Documents into a single PDF using Acrobat Pro

I'm using Acrobat Pro X version 10.1.10...I'm trying to select multiple Word Document files  (Mac Version 14.4.3) but when choosing the files, Word Documents I cannot select them as a convertible file format. If I drag them into the conversion box it says they are not a recognised file format....any ideas?

Can you open any WORD file in Acrobat? If not, it is likely a limitation of Acrobat on the MAC. On the PC, you can simply use the Combine option in the file menu to create a new PDF. The conversion of the WORD document uses the PDF Maker option installed in WORD that must work, but this is the same process as opening a DOC or DOCX file directly in Acrobat. There are limitation with the compatibility of various versions of OFFICE and Acrobat that could be another issue you are having, but I don't know the combinations for a MAC. This only gives you some thoughts to consider. Some of the MAC users may be by later to give further thoughts.
The alternative is to create a PDF for each of the WORD files and then use the combine feature to combine the PDFs.

  • Concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX

    I have a requirement to concatenate multiple word documents into 1 long document in APEX but I'm not sure if it can be done
    or where to begin.
    I've been able to upload/download files in APEX and generate Word docs using BI Publisher, but I can't seem to find anyway to carryout the above.
    Any feedback greatly received.
    Thanks in advance.
    Keith

    Thanks for your reply Jari.
    The files are never actually stored in the database as a BLOB or CLOB.
    I'm basically trying to do the following:-
    I have a third party Document Management System that stores a number of templates (.doc and .dot).
    The files are stored in a directory on a file sever.
    I have been tasked with the job of creating a Document Generator type app in APEX that will allow the users to select a number of these files and concatenate them together into 1 large 'Master' Document.
    I was hoping to be able to do this without having to go down the line of using external software functions like Java but I'll check out your suggestion.
    Cheers

    A client is not using Microsoft Word, but typing text for my edits into Adobe PDF. Too many edits, too cumbersome for me. After converting PDF to Word, I edit using various ink colors.

  • Hello, is there a way to redact a word or item from a pdf using adobe pro X the same way you can if you convert a word doc using pro X on a pc?

    hello, is there a way to redact a word or item from a pdf using adobe pro X the same way you can if you convert a word doc using pro X on a pc?

    If the document is not a scanned image or protected from editing then you should be able to edit it. I would have to guess you have a scan and when you converted to Word, you ran OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on it converting the scanned image to live text.
    This is the forum for the free Adobe Reader which can not edit or redact.

  • Importing Multiple Word Documents into RH

    I know that RH allows users to import word documents, however
    I was wondering if there was a way to import multiple word
    documents (ala batch style import) instead of importing each
    document one at a time.

    Colum has good advice. Also, since you're new to this, there
    are a few curiosities that occur that can be puzzling to newcomers.
    If you have graphics in your Word docs (screenshots, etc.) a new
    folder will automatically be created. So if the name of your Word
    doc is MYDOC.DOC, graphics will be placed in a new folder called
    MYDOC_Files.
    Another "hitchhiker" to the process is the creation of a CSS
    file automatically created for each Word doc. After the import you
    have the choice to reassign any style sheet you like, regardless of
    the CSS originally linked.
    Another tip if you're new to importing, go to Peter Grainge's
    excellent site.

    excellent ideas.

  • Can you combine multiple itunes accounts into a single one?

    I set up separate itunes accounts for my (2) sons (8 & 10) because one had an iPod and the other had an iTouch. 
    They just got an iPad for X-mas (that they'll share) ... I want to set up the iCloud and create a "joint" account.

    This is all i know but all you can do is just creat a new one for them both and send all the stuff to the one think u can do that i hope it helps

  • How can I combine multiple icloud calendars into a single published calendar?

    I have several calendars in Ical where I map my activities and schedules. Like many I need several calendars to categorise events.
    Now, I'd like others to see when I'm free and when I'm unavailable. For this, I'd need to find a way to copy multiple Icloud calendars into a single one for publishing - and the published calendar would also have to sync to any update I make in the original calendar.
    Any way to make this happen? Any third party app? Tried a couple - they were outdated and / or cumbersome.
    If only there was a "smart calendar" tool in Ical …

    It worked - up to the crucial point: after combining icloud calendars into one "on the machine" calendar, the latter is ready for going public. But of course - this public calendar will only contain the .ics files and will not sync for updates from the icloud calendars.
    And that's what I want.
    If this problem is not possible to solve with the software available in the Mac - is there any known third party solution for this?
    (Apple: "smart calendars" please!)

  • How can I insert an image at the original resolution into a PDF using Acrobat Pro XI

    Got an image created in Photoshop at 300DPI 2480 pixels wide by xx high.  Saved as a TIFF.
    When I insert that image in my PDF (A4 210mm x 297mm) using Acrobat Pro XI via "Content Editing->Add Image" it appears smaller than the page width of the PDF, and I must manually resize the inserted image by dragging with my mouse.  
    Documentation says the image is inserted at the original image resolution, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
    Also tried creating another image in Photoshop using 210mm width @ 300 DPI (instead of 2480 pixels @ 300DPI), got the same results.
    Can anyone help?  Cheers.

    You should maybe take a step back. Nobody composes pages in Acrobat.

  • Combine into a single PDF bugs, Acrobat 9

    There are a things about using the Combine into a single PDF document that are quite frustrating. Two of them have been the case for a few versions of Acrobat, one just since Acrobat 9.
    Firstly, only in Acrobat 9 when dragging files into the combine files window I can't ever drag a document to the bottom of the list. If I try it always jumps to the top and then the only way to move it to the bottom is pressing the 'Move Down' button until it reaches there. Ok when you have a handfull of documets. Annoying when there are 30 or so.
    Second, when adding 'Outlook Items' the converter always crashes once it reaches the Outlook item whilst converting all the documents. Obviously you can get around this by converting the document first, then adding it to the list, but it's an extra step you do not need to take when dealing with Word, or Excel documents, etc.
    Thirdly, if you do not start by opening a PDF document, then click Combine files (i.e. if you open Acrobat without a document open, then click the 'Combine Files' button, if at any point you open then close another PDF document (say to check it's the correct document before inserting it) it automatically closes all of Acrobat, and you lose all the work you've put in sorting the documents into a correct order, etc.
    This third one is by far the most frustrating. A warning dialogue saying "Are you sure you want to cancel combining files" would suffice.

    By flattening it now will successfully merge into one file, but now there's a new problem.  There are fields that have responses that go beyond the visible size of the field (so there's a + showing on the field).  When I merge to the single PDF anything beyond the visible field size is not there.  Is there anyway of retaining the ability to scroll the fields?

  • Word 2010x64 to PDF using Acrobat Pro XI: Print shows box with ? inside.

    System: Windows 7 SP1 X64
    Adobe: Acrobat XI Pro
    Office: Office 2010 x64
    On multiple systems, I creating a document with standard text and font and then saved as or printed as a PDF. This creates a normal PDF with no visable issues. Problem arrises when printing the newly created PDF. All PDFs converted from Word print with question marks inside squares. There is no symbols evident on the Word document, created PDF or in print preview. All formatting Markups have been disabled in Word as well. Any ideas as to a work around or fix? See below images for example.
    Word Document: Scan of Printed PDF:

    We are having exactly the same issue as described above.
    Did this ever get answered?
    We are using:
    Acrobat 11.0.3
    Word 2010 (V 14.0.7015.1000 32-bit)
    MS Office Home and Business 2010 SP2
    Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit
    The problem seems to occur only when, in Word, we use File - Print - Printer Adobe PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on a Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
    If we print the file locally to a Toshiba Studio 2550c printer then it prints ok.
    It also prints ok if we, in Word we use the Acrobat tab, click Create PDF, email the resulting PDF file to another office, and then printout on the same Toshiba Studio 2330c printer.
    Any ideas?

  • Compile Form Responses into a Single pdf in Acrobat X

    I sent a single pdf using the Distribute function in Acrobat X to several different people.  I was under the impression that I would be able to merge all responses into a single pdf document.  Each form field has a unique name and each field will be filled in by only one person responding.  Is there a way to do this in Acrobat X?

    This is not how forms usually work. Ususally, each person fills in the entire form, and the distributor combines all the responses into a speadsheet.
    I'm not sure if the tracker is able of doing what you want. But what you can do is export the form data from each file, and then import all of these files into your PDF.

  • How Can I Create a Print Button on a PDF Using Acrobat Pro That Will Also Work on iOS?

    I created a Print Button on a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat Pro on my Mac.  The Print button works perfectly on different browsers on my Mac and on Windows (running under Parallels Desktop) as well.
    When I open the document on my iPad the Print button doesn't even appear.  I am guessing that this is a Flash issue but it may be more related to the fact the the action for the button is to access the Print menu item, which doesn't exist under iOS.
    Is there any way to create a Print button using Acrobat Pro that will work on a Mac and Windows but also on iOS?

    In order to initiate printing by clicking a button, the button has to have either an "execute menu item" type action or use the "print" JavaScript method. As you guessed, the former won't work since there are no menu items to execute, and the latter can only work if the particular PDF viewer you're using supports it. I'm not aware of any that do on iOS.
    The button doesn't appear because you're probably opening it in the default PDF viewer, which doesn't support forms at all. If you were to open the form in Adobe Reader, you'd see the button but it wouldn't work.

  • Can I import a Word document into Creative Suites?

    I have a Word document I would like to work on in Creative Suites for all the added capabilities.  The only way I found was thru Cut and Paste....is there a quicker way to import the whole document.

    You can use File --> Place in InDesign to import Word and Excel files and retain quite a lot of the formatting. Otherwise, no, they are simply two different worlds and copy&paste is as good as it gets for most programs.
