Can't combine files...

Why can't I combine excel and word doc's into pdf? Just downloaded the XI Acrobat to Windows 7 64bit system. The only way I can combine files is to make them PDF's first. This makes it more work. Thanks~

Hey CNS Foodsafe,
If you have Acrobat correctly installed on your system, then it is quite simple to combine them into a single PDF file.
You might need to right click on all the selected word & excel document icons and select 'Combine Files in Acrobat' from the context menu as shown below:
Please check and let me know.

Using Acrobat 8 Standard, XI reader got auto-loaded now can't combine files

I was using Acrobat 8 Standard for a while (mainly to combine files). Recently, my Microsoft updates automatically loaded Acrobat Reader XI and now I can't combine files anymore. Is upgrading to Acrobat XI Standard a free download? If not, do I just need to uninstall Acrobat XI reader? Help would be appreciated as I use the combine files feature frequently. Thank you.

I really don't get the feeling that it was Adobe Reader which broke the functionality. But if you think it was, you can uninstall it and see if that works. I would rather suggest repairing Acrobat 8 from Control Panel.
If you already have the serial number of Acrobat 8 std, you can upgrade to Acrobat XI standard by paying the upgrade cost which is just $139. Acrobat XI is more robust and efficient. It also comes with many new features. To get more details please visit www.adobe.com/products/acrobatstandard.html

Can't combine files - Elements 11

Hi there -
I edited a bunch of audio files, all saving them as .PREL files on my hard drive. I'd now like to edit several of them into one compilation video, but I'm getting this error right when I start and try to add media: "This type of file is not supported, or the codec is not installed."
The file that's not supported is Adobe Premiere Elements Project. So essentially, it's not letting me add files that the program itself created.
Because of this, I can't go back and string the different clips together into the video I'm trying to create.
Am I missing something? How do I fix this? I'm under a time crunch.
Thanks,
Christie

Thanks for the reply.....
Quick answers to questions with points..
Yes.
Once all files are in that new format, are you saying I can add them all back into Elements 11 and stitch them together?
Use latest version of ClipMate with Premiere Elements 11 Windows (See link provided already.)
how exactly do I use it w/Elements 11 to create the compilation? Also, it looks like the ClipMate versions are labeled by windows version, not Elements version. Is there one that specifically works w/Windows 7 AND Elements 11?
See Rotation feature at Timeline level (more than one time) or at Applied Effects Tab level (more options).
is there a way I can use Elements 11 to flip a video? One got recorded upside down and I'm trying to salvage it, turning it 180 degrees.
Detailed Reply.....
1. About flip a video, you could use the Premiere Elements 11 rotation feature.
a. right click the clip on the Expert workspace Timeline, select either Rotate 90 Left or Rotate 90 Right.
or
b. select/highlight the Timeline clip, go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel and expand the Motion Panel to see a full Rotation feature in the Motion Panel expanded.
2. The details for using ClipMate are detailed in the How To Section of the link already given. Above that How To section are the results to be expect version by version.
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE: ClipMate Copy/Paste Between Projects
The latest version of ClipMate will work with Premiere Elements 11 Windows...expected results specific for 11 are defined in the link.
3. If you do the transfer between project the alternative route, export from project 1 - import export to project 2
a. If you are transferring a video audio linked file, then set the export settings to match the properties of the project preset.....generalized example, if project 1 is set for NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30, set the Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD or MPEG or QuickTime or Windows Media) export settings for 1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 interlaced frames per second with a bitrate comparable to your source for that project.....then import (Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets) that export into a project 2 which has a project preset of NTSC AVCHD Full HD 1080i30.
b. If you are transferring just an audio file between projects, then export the audio file from project 1 using Publish+Share/Computer/Audio with the preset of choice (AAC, AIFF, MP3, Windows Waveform). Then import (Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets) that export into project 2 with the wanted project preset.
Please let me know if you need specifics for the project and export settings. If you do, please give more information about your project 1 and the properties of your source media there.
Thank you.

I can't combine files what am I doing wrong?

How do I disable pdf security in a file(s) I'm trying to combine?

Hi,
I am moving your posting at Acrobat.com Forum to CreatePDF Forum.
You cannot disable security setting so need to ask the person who created the PDF file.

How can I combine different pdf files in one?

Sara,
It is not working. I wish to decline in having the pdf pack. How can I give up this purchase? I definitely do not want the Adobe PDF Pack anymore.
Who do I have to contact or what do I need to do to cancel this purchase?

How can I combine different pdf files in one?

Hi Flávia,
Adobe PDF Pack is an online subscription--it definitely allows you to combine several files into one PDF file. For more information about PDF Pack, see Reliably Create PDFs, Convert PDFs, & Merge PDFs Online | Adobe PDF Pack. If you don't have the full version of Acrobat, this is a great solution for combining PDF files.
However, if you're using Acrobat (not Adobe Reader), you combine files by following these steps:
Open a PDF file that you want to add pages to.
Click the Pages pane on the Tools panel (on the right side of the application).
Click Insert From File, and choose the file that you want to combine with the PDF that you opened in step 1.
Make any changes necessary in the Insert Pages dialog box--these settings determine where the new file will be inserted.
Click OK.
Please let me know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

How and where can I combine several pdf files?

I have written a Guide Book for Music Teachers in Word, converted it into a pdf file and would now like to insert sheet music files written with Sibelius Notation Program which have also been converted into pdf files, since they are otherwise not compatible with Word. How and where can these diverse pdf files be combined?

First, make sure you open Acrobat, and not Adobe Reader. It's a common mistake.
From Acrobat, use File | Create | Combine Files into a Single PDF:
On the next panel you can select the files you want to combine, rearrange them, etc., and finally click Combine.
P.S. your menu may look slightly different, as we may not be using the same Acrobat version.

HT4075 I don't have any problems merging the documents by dragging, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I tried save and export, how can I create the file after merging?

Hi, I'm having trouble saving the documents when merging in Preview. I don't have any problems merging the pdf documents by dragging them in preview, but when I try to save and open afterwards, only the last shown doc was saved, not the combined files I wanted to merge. I've tried save and export, but none merge the documents after saving... how can I create the file (with all the pdf files) after merging?

That's a comment in the file. It has no effect at all.

WHY CAN'T I COMBINE FILES WITH RIGHT CLICK ANY MORE? HOW LONG AM I EXPECTED TO WAIT BEFORE SWITCHING TO A COMPETITOR'S PRODUCT?

I used to be able to select a set of documents in the Windows file explorer, right click these highlighted documents, and then right click-->Combine Files in Acrobat.
This used to open the combine files page in Acrobat and I would be able to combine the files directly.
Now when I use right click to combine files in Acrobat it simply opens Acrobat. If I want to combine the files I have to go to Acrobat, select the option, and then navigate to the files.
This similar issue exists for edited PDFs. I used to be able to right click a document and select "Edit with Adobe Acrobat" and the document would open when this option was selected. Now if this option is selected it opens Adobe Acrobat and I have to navigate to any files I want to use.
How do I use the right click features in the file explorer? These features don't work any more and they used to.

Hi
Could you please tell which Acrobat version you are using and also the OS- Windows 7 or 8.1?
Also can you please tell whether you are getting Acrobat specific combine and Edit options in the right - click menu?
If yes, are they working or nothing happens on clicking them?
If possible, can you also try to restart your system and then try Right-click -> combine files in Acrobat?
Thanks

Can't combine some files

I am trying to combine about 30 PDFs but am getting 3 error messages. Two files says they are restricted and can't be combined. The 3rd file is a form fillable and the error message says something about XML.
How can I fix this? These files really need to be combined and I can't leave out any of them.
Thanks!

From the restricted files you must first remove the security settings before you can combine them.
You can't combine forms created with LiveCycle Designer with other PDF documents.
You can use a portfolio or package.

Hi Kenny Fikes,
You can access Acrobat online services using this Link ( cloud.acrobat.com ) , although you might need to sign-in using your Adobe ID, before you can access those services.
Does that help? Please reply back for any further query or assistance.
