Cannot Combine Word documents Adobe X. Office 2010

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has run into this issue before.  We are running Adobe X on Server 2003 SP2 (Citrix envionrment).  We have just upgraded to Office 2010 and Adobe X (latest Patch).  The primary reason for the upgrade is becuase the Combine Files fuction with Office 2010 and Adobe 9.x was not supported.  After upgrading, any attempt to combine word files fails.  Combining PDF files work perfectly fine.  I'm able to open Word and using the Adobe Ribbon, convert Word documents to PDFs fine as well.  I can also print to the PDF printer and I am still able to successfully convert to PDFs.  When we attempt to combin any Word files (.docx), each file errors out (gets skipped) and at the end we receive an error (No PDF File was created becuase Acrobat encountered an unidentified errors).  I'm running this as an administrator so permissions shouldn't be an issue.  I've changed the settings on the PDF printer and that hasn't helped (print directly to printer and change the port to a file location).
In addtion to the combine files not working, right clicking a word doc and Converting to a PDF fails too.  See the screen shot below.  IT seems as if the PDF maker is erroring out.  I can see Word open in the task manager.  Once the converstion fails, it does not close the Word process in Task Manager. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried it on a base machine, not a server (hope you have the additional license from Adobe for the server use, since that is a violation of the license for an individual package installation)? There are often problems when doing these things over a network.

  • Unable to generate a Word document (RH9 and Office 2010)

    Hello Everybody,
    we have an issue with Robohelp 9 (patched to newest version). We are trying to generate a Word document (doc, docx) in the section of "Printed Documentation". If we click on the printed documentation on the left side (in the menübar), 2 popup windows flashing  to the screen with the following complete message: "False Parameter". I can click on "OK" if i do it, both windows will close and the General Printed Document Page is loading.
    The Problem is that all dropdown fields are blank and we cant chose .doc or .docx. I reinstalled both Programms (TCS and Office) it doesnt help me.
    I have screenshoted and uploaded the blank Print Document General window at tinypic.

    Peter Grainge was asking me:
    Also try with one of the sample projects. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left. Same problem?
    It doesnt work. (same problem)
    Thx for help
    Greetings Andreas B

    This all points to some sort of installation issue. I notice from the screen you posted that a lot of the fields are completely blank. They shouldn't be. They should have default values. Check that you are installing following Peter's advice at http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/installing/installing.htm.

  • Acrobat 9.5, file corruption when combining .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document

    In Acrobat 9, when I combine .pdfs created from Word or Excel (from Office 2010) into a larger .pdf document, there is data corruption. Some of the text appears as blank boxes when the pages are inserted into the larger .pdf, the main document. I have so far solved this by "printing" the files to .pdf, and then inserting them into the larger .pdf main document, but this creates a fatter .pdf file that is much larger than would otherwise be the case. Are there any other solutions within Acrobat 9, please? If this bug has been solved in Acrobat X or XI, please advise. Thanks.

    As far as the images are concerned, that may be a result of your choice of job settings. You may want to use the Press or Print option if the image quality is important. I assume you are talking about bit images in this case.
    As to the hangup, have you checked to see if AcroTray is active on your system? It may not be running as needed. In the meantime, try checking print to file and then opening that file in Distiller to complete the conversion to PDF.
    Before you ever try a reinstall, you need to do a repair first to see if that resolves the problem. There are a lot of unknowns about your exact process for the printing and your job settings that may be part of the problem. The rest of your system setup is useful in some cases, but did not help me see your problem.

  • Suddenly unable to combine word documents

    Hi,
    I've been using Adobe Acrobat X every quarter to prepare a PDF for a board meeting, combining Word Documents and PDFs.
    It's always worked fine, but all of a sudden I can't combine Word anymore.
    The error message that I receive is "Please remove problem files from the list or choose the Portfolio option"
    When I try the Portfolio option, the error message that I receive is

    Hi,
    I'm using Microsoft 2010 on Windows 7.
    The thing is I haven't updated my OS or Office since the last time I used Adobe Acrobat Pro when I was still able to combine Word & PDF, so I can't understand why I've suddenly lost this functionality.
    Thanks alot for your help

  • Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.

    Cannot open Word document attachment in mail before sending.
    In Snow Leopard Mail 4, (Version 4.0 (1075/1075.2)) if I attach a word document to a message and, BEFORE sending the message, I double click the attached document to open it, to make sure it is the right one, I get the error "Mail was unable to save the attachment “Test.doc” to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writable."
    The attachment is mailed correctly and arrives at the destination, but the ability to verify an attached document before sending it is essential. This has worked fine in all previous editions of OS X.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks - Lawrence

    I have same problem. I've done the following testing to pinpoint where the problem lies and there are clues (see below):
    1. My machine had SnowLeopard installed "fresh" (i.e. disk reformat and installed cleanly)
    2. I have a comparison machine running Leopard (10.5.6) - essentially a mirror but with different OS
    3. Problem is triggered when creating new email, with a MS Word .doc attachment added. If you attempt to open the attached file in the mail (not yet sent) it produces the error message "unable to save file XXX.doc to disk. Verify that your downloads folder exists and is writeable"
    4.However, once the mail is sent, the recipient can open the attachment without problems.
    5. I have run Disk Utility and all permissions are correct. My downloads folder exists.
    6. The problem is not present in Leopard (mirror machine other than OS)
    7. I have uninstalled and reinstalled MS Office. Problem still present
    8. I have deleted and recreated the preference files for both MS Office and for Mail. Problem still present.
    And finally...
    9.The problem is confined to .doc files.It works fine for .pdf, .ods AND even for Microsoft .xls files.
    So it may be a MS Word problem triggered by Snow Leopard?
    Apple: if you can confirm this is a Microsoft problem it may be able to be reported to them as a compatibility issue?
    Hope this helps.

  • I cannot print word documents but can print all other documents

    Since updating my virus checker I cannot print word documents. I can print all other documents

    At this point my suggestion is to do a full uninstall of the old print driver and an install of the most recent version print driver which you can obtain at:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=40664...
    Please follow the uninstall procedure before installing the new driver.

  • Office 2013 Upgrade - Retain Recently Opened Documents/WorkBooks from Office 2010

    Hello,
    In our Windows 7 environment, we are planning to upgrade our users from Office Professional Plus 2010 to Office Professional Plus 2013 via SCCM 2012 R2. One of the user requirements is that we are to retain their recently opened files/documents
    so that the history will still be shown even after they have upgraded over to Office 2013.
    From what I have researched, it may be possible to do this if we copy some of the user's registry keys from Office 2010 and export them to the Office 2013. However, I have not tried it and wanted to see what thoughts you guys may have on this.
    Has anyone run into this situation? Any advice on this? Thanks.

    Hi Jimmy,
    Did you get any error message when you try to open an Excel file/Word document?
    If so, you can post the error message and  event log here.Also ,if you had antivirus software installed, try to disable them to test this issue.
    In addition, what happens if you add the network server location as a trusted location?

  • Create PDF in Word, cannot search word document thereafter.

    Hi....
    v9.3.1 of Adobe Acrobat.
    System: Win2k8 SP2
    CPU: x86
    When I convert a Word document to a .pdf file with the Adobe Acrobat Office add-in function "Create PDF" I can not search the Word document thereafter. In order to be able to search I will have to close and open the document again.
    - Updating is not an option.
    - This is verified to be an issue for several users
    Does anyone have experience with this.
    Looking forward to hear from you.
    Regards
    /Lars B.

    FYI - the transparent PNG is 300 dpi and sized at 45% in the Word doc.

  • Cannot open word document anymore since last update.

    I have a Macbook Air, bought in july 2013. I've done all the updates as suggested. But since the last one I suddenly cannot open certain files that were mailed to me. On my Iphone I can still read them. Every time I try to open a word document in my mail, it's not opening, and I get the suggestion to buy I Works.
    I am not very good at understanding why this suddenly happens, and what I can do to be able to open the file.
    It's not a problem if I do need to buy this new software I works, but which one should I buy then?
    I hope someone can explain to me what I need to do, hopefully in an understandeble way, thanks!!

    I believe I understand now. You "upgraded" from OS X 10.6.x Snow Leopard to OS X 10.9x Mavericks when you bought the MBA, didn't you? And now your copy of MS Office 2004, which I suspect was copied over from your previous computer, no longer works. Look in the /Applications folder and see if there is a folder for Microsoft Office and see if there is a year in the name.
    You have three choices.
    1. You can purchase the most recent version of MS Office. This will ensure full document compatibility across platforms.
    2. You can purchase Pages from the Mac App Store, which will allow you to open edit and save Word files. Although it is not a seamless process and documents with complex formatting and/or tables might not preserve their attributes when opened in Pages.
    3. You can download and install an open source office replacement such as Libre Office or Open Office. Although the same caveats apply as with Pages.

  • Frozen out menu ribbon in Word 2013 and cannot preview word documents in Outlook 2013

    I seem to be having a recurring problem with Word 2013 from Office Home Edition single user. When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire document page layout changes from portrait to something close to landscape and then the entire menu ribbon freezes
    out. I usually have to save the file, close and reopen using the open and repair feature as the document only opens in read only after this incidence happens. Since the first time I experienced this in early July, I haven't been able to preview Word files
    in office outlook 2013 and the protected mode feature hasn't worked since then either.
    Can I get some help with this please? I reinstalled, did online fixing and tried a few other fixes to no avail. Could it have started as a result of my installing a trial version of Office Visio which comes as a totally different package from my Home edition?
    Thank you

    ... When I try to put a caption on a table, the entire ...
    Is this the only action that will result in the issue? Does this happen to any Word documents?
    The first thing that I'd suggest you to do is to install any available updates to your system and Office installation, and then verify result.
    Then, please check if you have any add-ins integrated with your Word 2013 (please note that some programs might install add-ins automatically), try in safe mode and see if issue was caused by some add-in conflicts:

    Hello,
    Do you mean that when you see the video inside Video Creator, slide 10 appears for a split second and then jumps to slide-11?
    Can you record the same scenario in diagnostic mode and send us the logs.
    Follow these steps -
    1. Close Video creator if it is already opened
    2. In Windows > Programs > look for "Troubleshoot Adobe Presenter Video Creator"
    3. Launch the same and record the exact same steps
    4. Stop recording > Ensure that the issue has been reproduced.
    5. Close the application.
    6. While closing, it will prompt you to send us an email with collected log reports.
    Kindly send the logs. We will go through it and get back to you.
    It will also be great if you can send us the presentation in which the issue is reproducible.

  • Pages won't open word documents created in Office for Mac

    I'm using system 10.10 with the latest version of Pages. Although I've read that if you right click on a word document you should get the option to open it with Pages, and it should be translated. But I get a message that the document can not be opened. I created it with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 using Word.
    I've been able to email those documents to people who use PC's and they have always been able to open my documents, so why not Pages?

    I tried that, but no luck. I also tried copying my Office for Mac 2004 onto my new iMac 12,2 but that didn't work. because those programs won't run in the Yosemite operating system. I see that there is supposed to be a new Office for Mac 2015 version, but nobody seems to know if or when that will be released. I may purchase Officer for Mac 2011, but before that purchase I thought I'd ask Microsoft if the 2011 version would open up Work files created by the 2004 edition. Their support line put me in touch with someone in India who tried to be helpful, but I'm not convinced he really knows the answer. He tried to persuade me to get Open Office, but that's not what I want. I'd like to be able to compose documents on the Mac platform and send them as attachments to emails for people who I know are using PCs. I don't like that extra step you have to do through in Pages to export as a PC document. The same for Excel and Power Point.

  • Cannot open Word document files in a Portfolio

    I have set up a portfolio with multiple file types. I can open Excel and Power Point files within the portfolio without a problem. When I try to open Word documents it tells me that "Acrobat cannot open this file attachment because your pdf file attachment settings do not allow for this file type to be opened. I went into preferances and checked to see if the box was checked in "trust manager" to allow files other than pdf to opened. It is checked but I am still unable to open word documents in the portfolio for some reason.

    Acrobat cannot open Word files. Have you tried opening the files from within Word? If so, most probably you have a file association problem.

  • Combining Word Documents - Selecting Pages - Acrobat X Pro

    Hi,
    I am hoping someone can tell me where I can find the setting to be able to do the following action,
    When combining different types of files, I get different behaviour for selecting pages, i.e. the "Preview and Select Page Range" dialog,
    e.g. for a pdf file, in the preview pane, I can navigate through the pages with the buttons at the bottom,
    However, when I try to select the pages in a word, powerpoint etc. document I get a different behaviour,
    As you can see, there are no navigate buttons. The preview also appears to be in "outline" mode, i.e. doesn't show page gaps. Just a continuous preview of the document. This makes it very difficult to actually choose which pages to combine without having to open the document itself and determine the pages I want, i.e. defeating the purpose of having a preview pane at all.
    I had a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, but then we got the full version. I am sure that in the trial version I had the navigate buttons, or at least got the page breaks shown.
    Is there a setting that might have changed?
    What could be going on?
    Thanks

    Hi Bill,
    Yeah, that is my current work around. I open the word document separately, find the pages that I want to combine and enter those into the Acrobat X dialogue box.
    However, that sorta defeats the purpose of having the preview and select pages dialogue box in Acrobat!!
    Futhermore, I am sure it worked in the trial version I had before. So I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that just needs to be turned on/off.
