Can you Batch convert files to pdf's Acrobat 9 standard

i am looking through Acrobat 9 standard and can not see any batch conversion to convert all the files in a folder to PDF's not (combining them) is this something available in other versions pro or extended? or am i just doing it wrong? may a script or something?

There are no batch processes at all in Acrobat 9 Standard. Only Pro or higher has them.

  • Can't convert files to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard or 9 Pro

    I am having a major problem. I have tried converting both Word 2003 and Excel 2003 documents to pdf using Acrobat 8 Standard (I can't recall which version because I uninstalled and installed a trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro) and Acrobat 9 Pro. I have tried to convert directly from the open document and through Acrobat using create from file. In every instance the process starts and then stops after a few moments. When I try the conversion from within Acrobat, I get the following error message: " Pdf conversion failed, please correct the error and retry." When I try the conversion directly from Word or Excel, the conversion starts, stiops suddenly and gives no error message.  I have had Acrobat 8 Standard installed for a couple of years. It worked fine on this computer until the problem started a week ago or so. There have been no software or hardware changes that woudl trigger suspicion.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8 Standard version. I have uninstalled the 8 Standard version and installed the 9 Pro trial version. I have run the repair module on both versions. I'm sure it is something simple but I just can't figure out what the "error" is that I need to "correct". Any suggestions?
    As an aside, I have several Adobe programs (Photoshop CS5, Contribute 3 and Acrobat), all of them expensive. Their business model of offering no unpaid support (even for this type of problem) is one reason I hate Adobe more than Microsoft... but I rant.

    When you uninstalled, you should have used the MS Installer Cleanup utility. It cleans up a lot of the junk left over in the registry. You should have also deleted the Acrobat folder. Then you would reinstall. You did not indicate your OS and it may be that you need to update the AA8 to get it to work correctly. Also, the installs and uninstalls can mess up your registration process if you are not careful. If you uninstall the AA9 trial, you will not be able to reinstall it for use. At this point, I can only suggest you do a repair of your installation and be sure you have all of the updates.

  • How do I batch convert files from pdf to pdf/a

    My company is scanning a bunch of old documents and wants to store the files as both pdf and pdf/a.  Many of the files have already been scanned as pdf, is it possible to convert them en mass to pdf/a?  Or must we continue to do them one at a time?

    XI Pro is better, the algorithm that fixes a PDF so it passes the compliance check is better. Not foolproof but much more likely to succeed than the one in Acrobat X.
    As Test Screen Name says you can automate saving to the untagged versions of PDF/A (such as PDF/A-1b) using an Action, simply by creating a new 'empty' action and changing the Save step options. In most cases it'll work, but if the input file is wildly out of compliance it can still throw an error. The biggest problems tend to originate with font embedding and when the PDF has comments applied.
    PDF/A versions with tagging (e.g. PDF/A-1a) are horrendous to create after the fact as you will almost certainly be hit with a long list of things you have to manually correct. Acrobat can't automate the fixes this time as it has no way to understand the semantics of each page. It's very strongly advised that those types of file are created directly in the authoring application (though Adobe has yet to implement that idea in InDesign, you can do it in MS Office).

    How do you batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?

    How do you batch convert files to 4x6 with copyright?
    You need to create an action in PS (include a conditional option for both landscape and portrait). With this action ready you can select the files in Bridge, use menu Tools, Photoshop / Batch and inhere choose the action you created and let it run.
    For the action itself you might want to visit the PS forum for more details, it is not easy to create a watermark on each image but possible. Just try it and explore.

  • Batch convert file to OCR PDF

    Hi
    we want to survey a software that offer these function:
    1. Batch convert file( MS office / PDF / JPG / TIFF ) to OCR PDF automatically.
    2. Multi-threaded conversions functionality.
    2. Support API .
    Is Adobe Acrobat XI Pro can work?

    No, Acrobat would not be suitable for this purpose.
    Also, be aware that the idea of converting a “born digital” document (such as an MSOffice file) to an “OCR PDF” makes no sense.

  • Pre-configure save location for converting files to PDF from shell context menu

    Hi all,
    I like Acrobat's integration into the Windows Explorer through the shell context menu command "Convert to PDF", which allows me to drag select a number of files (word documents et cetera) to batch convert them into PDF. It beats doing batch processing fr the Acrobat interface.
    However, it asks me for the save location of each file individually. I would like to have them saved in the same directory as the original file, as the default option so I won't have to attend to the conversion. I can't find such an option in Acrobat's preferences menu though
    Any gurus or users here know of a way around that?
    Regards,
    Jay

    Does your user have custom add-ons besides the Acrobat PDFMaker add-on?  If so, try disabling the other add-ons as a test to see if you get the same results.
    Does your user have a custom template?  Try moving it out and using the standard MS Word template as test?
    Did your user have a previous installation of Adobe Acrobat??  If so, check the Add-ons to see if an older version is still registered with MS Word.

  • Can no longer convert DOC to PDF

    I've been using Acrobat 6 Pro for years to convert Microsoft Word (2003) DOCs to PDFs.  After a power failure, some of my Adobe products had to be repaired and re-registered.  On the other side of this procedure, I seem to have lost the conversion function.  When I click the right mouse button over a DOC file I still get an option of converting the file, but nothing happens.  How can I restore this function?  (my Acrobat 6 Pro was part of the Adobe Creative Suite Premium package).

    But can you print to the Adobe PDF printer? Please check. This is the base of all the conversions in Acrobat and if it does not work, none of them work. If it works, then you need to check for the Adobe icons (toolbar) in WORD to be active. It has to be active to be able to use PDF Maker. But again, the basic process is really the printer and should be the first thing you check.

  • Error converting files to PDF in Internet Explorer- Adobe Acrobat Pro 8

    I've recently upgraded to Adobe Acrobat Pro 8, from AAP 7. With AAP 7 I was able to open my windows based program, right click and convert the page to PDF. Since I've upgraded I am unable to do this anymore. When I right click and click to convert to PDF nothing happens. I've reinstalled the program, but still receiving the same error. Is there a way to fix this?

    If you open the file, what do your right click on? If you are talking about right-clicking the file icon in Explorer, that is not opening the file but using the functionality of Windows. Apparently the file associations did not get installed correctly or the print function does not work. You need to go back to step one and determine the functional aspects that fail. So, can you open the file in the application, select the print menu, and print successfully to the Adobe PDF printer? This is a key step that needs to work.

  • Live cycle ES2 can covert Frame maker file into PDF??

    Hi All
    good day!!
    I have read that live cycle can covert farme maker files into pdf .
    is it true . we are using live cycle ES2 and we are going to upgrade FM 8 (unix) to FM 11 .
    can we convert frame maker files into pdf using Live cycle ES2????
    you response highly appiciate!!
    thank you
    ramesh babu

    Possibly, but ES2 is only specified to convert FM7.2 & FM8 files. FM11 might work, but you would have to test it and it's most likely not supported by Adobe in this mode. See: http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/pdfgenerator/formats.html
    If you only need to create PDF output from existing FM files, then Datazone's DZbatcher or Omni Systems fmbatch (part of the mif2go product) utilities may suffice.

  • Can you open freehand files in CS6?

    can you open freehand files in CS6? I have been using both illustrator & freehand for 15 years & have thousands of work files being freehand.
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files. I also find it interesting that many of the key tools that freehand had over illustrator are not translated into the newer versions of illustrator. Something simple like you still can't have a unique picture bullet • before text in illustrator. In freehand you could cut & paste any graphic into the text you were designing.

    No. The conversion plugin didn't make it into CS6 so the last import function was CS5.5 
    It seems very disappointing to have to keep an old version of illustrator just to open these files.
    At this point, it is the only way to make your files convert into Illustrator although I've had some luck with exporting to EPS or (if your FH graphics are simple enough) save as AI format. Keep your eyes on this project however : http://www.stagestack.com/

    As a fellow FreeHand user, I couldn't agree more. Other users of both programs have said this endlessly over the years here. A litany of features are still m.i.a. since FHMX was acquired years ago... including inline graphics. It's almost comical.
