Cannot combine 2 pdf files from diff pdf writers w/Pro X

I am trying to combine 2 existing .pdf files using Acrobat Pro X.
I have never encountered this before after almost a year of using the product.
The first .pdf file was created using Pro X (combining several MS word documents)
The second .pdf file was created using the export to pdf function in ESRI's ArcMap v 10.0.3.3600 software.  This is the files that is skipped when creating the document.
When combining i get a fatal error on the exported map. I am confused because I have been combining these types of file combinations all winter, (the 'bad" files were generated in early feb 2012).  I am at a total loss.
I do not even know what to look for in the files to find out what is not compatable.
Thanks in advance!

If there is no markup in the map (e.g., links and bookmarks), then you might try printing the map to a new PDF. If that works, then it is a matter of figuring out why the map had problems. You might check the font embedding and such, a likely problem.

  • Open a PDF file from another PDF file on iPad

    Hi,
    I made a test with 2 PDF files. In the first PDF file I link it to the another PDF file.
    I used Hyperlinks in InDesign but it doesn't work.

    I seriously doubt that that's possible.
    It's difficult enough to accomplish that on a Mac or PC because the file hierarchy must be maintained or the link will be broken. The iOS operating system seems to have only a rudimentary file system.
    I looked through the Help files for the best PDF reader I know, PDF Expert, and saw no reference to supporting that feature.

  • Issues opening PDF files from SharePoint document library reader/pro 11.0.5

    Hello,
    We have a sharepoint 2010 enviroment and recently upgraded our Acrobat X11 installs ( both reader/std/pro) to version 11.0.5.
    We have a mixture of WIndows 7 32/64Bit IE 8 and IE 9 machines
    After upgrading to 11.0.5 when users click a pdf file in a SP document libary one of two things happens depending if they have the
    Adobe Reader Plugin Enabled or not
    If the Adobe Reader Plugin is enabled, they will not get prompted to run/save the pdf file and it will not open in a new tab in the browser
    If the Adobe Reader Plugin is disabled, they will get a popup window that has the correct URL to the PDF in the address bar but they will not be prompted to save or run the file.
    If they click in the addrss bar and press enter the pdf will then load in the external reader/acrobat application.
    This issue started with 11.0.5 updates, rolling people back to 11.0.4 fixes the issue.
    I have attempted everything I can think of including rebuilding new machines with our image.
    Has anyone see issues like this with the 11.0.5 update?

    If a bug is confirmed, a fix may be delivered in the next release (can't promise). For a similar issue caused by a Microsoft bug, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6106294#6106294.

  • Problem creating a PDF file from other PDF files

    Normally, the process works, but sometimes produces the following error (in Spanish):
    El documento no se pudo archivar. Problema al leer el documento (110)
    Does anyone know the origin of the error? We have reviewed the security of files and is correct
    Thanks

    I am not sure, but it may be a font mismatch between the files. Fonts is one of the issues that often crops up as a problem when combining PDFs.

  • Unable to create pdf file from multiple pdf files in Acrobat 7 Professional under Windows 7

    I used to be able to cobine multiple pdf's into one but now, all I get is Acrobat freezing!
    I have to use task manager to allow me to close it!
    Any ideas ?
    Kind Regards
    Bob

    Thanks for the info...
    I have had it working just fine on my desktop and my laptop. Both of which run Windows 7 32 bit.
    Suddenly it does not work on the laptop!
    I also had error messages which related to escript.api and a couple of others. When I checked, I had 2 copies of a similiar name so the system thought I was using 2 copies of the api!
    I deleted the extra copies, but since then it does not work, even though I have reinstalled it!
    Kind Regards
    Bob

  • Why doesn't my macbook pro open pdf files from internet?

    Nothing happens after tab opens when i try to download pdf files from websites to my macbook pro..any ideas as to what needs to be done to resolve this issue??

    What browser?  If you're using Safar, do a reset on it from the main menu.  Your Mac should have a native PDF viewer that has a plug-in in Safari to allow for this.
    Or you could always load up Adobe Reader off Adobe's website and work with that after you install it.  I'd try the browser reset first.  Be aware that it'll purge your history, etc.

    I cannot open a pdf file with aol e-mail. I went to preferences in Adobe Reader but did not know what to enter for Incoming IMAP and outgoing SMTP. I can open pdf files from windows explorer as  I have associated .pdf files with adobe reader. My operating system is windows 7.

  • I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can using another Viewer

    I cannot open pdf files from one supplier when using Adobe Reader but I can open it if using Google PDF viewer or another viewer. The Adobe reader gives the error "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired" when I try to open the file. The version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.7, however I have tried other versions and they all fail the same way.  I have tested on a number of different PC's in different networks and all fail using Adobe Reader but work using alternate viewer. Also the PC's will open a PDF from any other source.

    Newer Reader versions are more strict than older versions (and other PDF viewers).  If certain minimum requirements are not met, Reader will tell you that the PDF is damaged.  This can happen when a document was created with software that does not adhere to PDF standards, or when the file was damaged during a download or email transmission.
    You should contact the creator of these PDFs.

  • I cannot access PDF files from my current BT Yahoo...

    Since downloading an updated version of Yahoo Mail a few months ago, I cannot now access PDF files from old e-mail messages which are located in the "Folders" section on the mail screen.  When trying to open them the message "Scanning Attachments" is displayed.  After about 60 seconds a Message is displayed "An Error Occurred whilst Downloading". This never used to happen with the previous version of Yahoo Mail.  I have tried to save the attachments to my laptop and the message reads "Scanning Attachments" which would signify that they had been saved due to no subsequent Error Message being displayed.  I have trawled all through my laptop and cannot find any of the alleged saved PDF files.
    I am an old chap and not very computer literate and am hoping you professionals can come up with an answer and fix to this problem, which I believe, was not of my own making.
    Whether this has any bearing on the matter, I changed about four months ago from BT Total BB to Infinity Opt1 which includes McAfee security built in as standard.  I have also, as an on-screen reminder, recently updated my Adobe Reader programme to version 11.  I cannot think of any other changes, apart from the new version of Yahoo Mail, that has made this problem come to light as it has. 
    Your help and assistance in this matter would be most welcome and appreciated.
    Thanks You
    Ian.

    Your problem is typical of the many problems reported with McAfee, and that may well be the cause. McAfee is free with Infinity but isn't built-in in the sense that you have to take it. Is your previous anti-virus still installed? If so, you should get rid of one of them anyway, and the usual advice here would be to ditch McAfee.
    Even if McAfee is the your only AV I would replace it. If your previous AV is no longer available there are plenty of free options, and Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) is as good a choice as any. There's advice on uninstalling McAfee here.

  • I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. I have tried to download the latest plugin but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to OSX 10.6.8 and now I cannot open or save PDF files from the internet using either Safari or Firefox. I get a dialogue box saying the QuickTime plugin has failed. Can anyone help?

    Is this what you downloaded: iTunes 10.7?
    When the update fails what if any error report do you get, specifically? Please do this before trying again:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • I cannot view PDF in Firefox at the first time but once I manually open the PDF file from my local computer, I can view other PDF files via Firefox webbrowser

    I install Adobe Acrobat 9 in my laptop which runs on windows 7. I use Firefox 3.6.8 and have the problem with the PDF file. The problem is I cannot open the PDF file in Firefox web browser at the first time I launch firefox. It shows a warning box without any message. Only OK button is shown so I can close it. However, if I manage to open the PDF file from my local computer by just using adobe acrobat itself then the PDF can be opened in the Firefox web browser. I followed the instruction on the mozilla help but nothing works for me. The problem still exists. I wonder if anyone have the same problem like me and know how to solve this. Thank you so much

    Hi there!
    I cannot help you, but I think we have a common problem: We got a system here running Vista SP1 with Acrobat 9 standard on it. When we open a pdf file it works normally, but when we open another pdf file, we see the first one in that second window.
    Think that missing option to watch several files within a single window-thing messed up more than meets the eye ... but as we just purchased the 15 licenses, we have to use version 9.
    I didn't find any clues on this problem, but I will post any new hints I get.

    The problem is definitely between my safari and Adobe.

  • Cannot forward one page PDF files from mail app

    My earlier topic had incorrect problem report so I've created a new topic.
    The problem is i cannot forward one page PDF file from mail apps. I use imap set up for my work email.
    Multi page PDFs, photos, docs, numbers, all forward OK for both windows and Mac formats.

    Update: I hade had a reply from the Good Reader app developer saying this is a known issue even for them. However, they don't know if Apple will fix this or not.
    Basically mail app treats all one page PDF as if it's an image and will forward it the same as it would an image. Any non-apple based mail programs will have issues viewing this file..

    Check your browser settings.

  • I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus.  Now I cannot open any .pdf files from the internet.

    I apparently got stung with the Adobe flash virus and now I cannot open any Adobe .pdf files from the internet.  Fix?

    Go to F_Secure's Flashback Removal Tool web page, download their Flashback trojan detection/removal tool, and follow the instructions you find there.
    Also install the latest java update which also tries to remove these trojans.
    Java for OS X Lion 2012-003
    And only download the adobe flash plugin from the adobe site.
    Update:
    Just because you cannot download pdf may not be an indication of the trojan.  There's been a number of reports about problems like that with pdf's.  Look at the More Like This section on the right side of this page.
