Combine Files Function Fails

when trying to combine files, the process seems to work, but utlimately "Conversion Failed" message flashes.  Any ideas why?

Thanks for the reply. Actually, there was some issue with the "context menu" commands that occured during the last update. I called Adobe Customer Service and they fixed it by remotely accessing my computer. The also gave me a link which tells how to fix this if it happens in the future. I've copied it below just in case this happens to someone else. But thanks again for your reply!

  • Error using Combine Files Function

    I'm running Acrobat Standard Ver. 8 and I've got >150 .rtf files that need to be converted into a single pdf file.  Using the combine files utility when it tries to open the files, it gives me a protection error, ie, "please make sure you have read access to the file".  I get the same errors with Word documents.  I created these files and can access them just fine with Word.  Any suggestions?  My IT people are stumped.
    Thanks for the help.

    I think the Combine feature is designed for files that are already pdfs. You can convert entire folders into pdfs simulataneously then use the combine function.

  • Combine Files incorrectly rearranges order of files

    Acrobat 9 incorrectly rearranges the order of the files in the Combine Files function when selecting multiple files to move.  For example, I have 40 files that I am combining into one.  Since the files are named 1-40, files 2-9 will not be in order.  If I highlight files 5-9 and drag them up to the spot they belong to put them in order some of the other files that were previously in order now are in random order.  The order might now be 31, 35, 32, 33, 37, etc.  This happens when selecting multiple files and dragging them up or down in the Combine Files window.  Anyone else seen this problem?

    Yeah, I'm aware that renaming files 1-9 to 01-09 will put them in order from the beginning but this doesn't change the fact that if I wanted to move several files that were named something other than by number (ie. TDY report, sales report, etc.) and I selected several to move let's say inbetween files 21-22 several other files that were previously in order now become out of order for no apparent reason.

  • COMBINE FILES: save job?

    Hi everyone!
    I'm combining over 100 MS-office documents into one PDF using the COMBINE FILES function in Acrobat 8 standard.
    But every time one of the documents is updated it looks like I have to go through the whole process all over again.... drop the files, sort them, edit selected file contents.
    Is there any way to save the job so that the next time I want to combine the same files, I do not need to do it all from scratch?
    1,000 thanks

    If it's only a few documents you can use Document>Replace pages to insert the revised one over the old one.

  • "Combine" Function Fails on Adobe Export

    What is wrong at Adobe Export that every time I try to Combine files after some effort to get the files in the right order to combine. Diagnostic comes back almost right away that the function failed and that I should come back later. This has been going on for over 24 hours. What to do?

  • Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

    Good day.
    Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

    Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

  • When combining files, conversion keeps failing with red notice that the document if password protected. What does that mean and what do I do?

    When combining files, conversion keeps failing with a red notice that the document is password protected. I was combining all pdf files and had just been successful with some of the same content under a different file name. What is wrong and how do I correct it?

    Hey SUSANO,
    I am sorry but you cannot combine files if they are password protected.
    You can check the same under 'File > Properties> Security

  • Adobe Reader Search function fails

    @@I'm using Adobe Reader Version 11.0.10 under Windows 7 64-Bit SP1 with all actual updates. When i try to search any word or Phrase of contained in the text of a specific PDF File, then the search Fails. It does not come up with the search item i have keyed in. I did not misspell the search item and it is definitely contained in the text, but the search function does not find it. i am absolutely surethat the search item is in text Format and it is contained in the PDF file, because i can Access and search it when i open this PDF file on an iPad for instance. there it works, but not in my Windows envioenment.
    I guess that this problem will not be completely new for you, because other users are discussing this Problem in the Internet as well.
    Can you help me with an answer and hopefully with a recommendation on how to overcome this Problem.
    thanks in advance and
    Kind regards
    Guenther
    p.s.:
    sorry, i am new on thjis platform... how  when aproximatrely does one get an answer here?

    Hello Pat,
    i followed your advise and have used the link contained in point 3 of
    your recommendations --- for reference see your response as appended
    below (https://cloud.acrobat.com/).
    So, in case i made no mistake (?), then you can access the PDF file we
    are talking about when you follow this link here:
    https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/0f9d2ce4-b4b9-4223-8fd2-723441d7d2ab***
    This PDF file contains a description of an olympus camera. When you open
    this PDF file please go to page 6.
    Directly under the picture on top of the page (which shows a dark blue
    car driving from left to right) you can read the word "Mitziehmodus"
    (without parantheses). This german word is one of those search items
    which the PDF search function of my PDF reader installation does not
    find. There are many other words the search function does not find as
    well, but let us use this word (Mitziehmodus) as an example to
    demonstrate the malfunction as i experience it on my pc.
    Meanwhile i have installed a completely new windows-system 7 from
    scratch. The PDF reader (11.0.10) is currently the only installed
    software. I made this windows 7 installation only to assure that there
    is no other software eventually influencing the search function. But the
    search function fails again when searching for this word "Mitziehmodus".
    One remark still to your statements concerning accented characters.
    Character like ä, ö, ü or ß are quite normal characters in writing
    german language text. But these characters can not be found also! In
    general it does not make much sense to serach for a single character (at
    least in my understanding). Searching for ä or ö or ü results in finding
    something completely meaningless. But this behaviour shows additionally
    that there is something wrong with the search function as it ist
    implemented in Adobe Reader.
    In general i am convinced that this PDF file will be correct ,
    because i can search any search item and find correct search results
    when i access this file on my iPad regardless in what so ever combination.
    i hope that you can access the problem PDF file following the link i
    sent you above.
    And i would be happy wehen you could find thze reason for my search
    problems.
    thank you so far. i appreciate to heare from you soon.
    kind regards

  • In Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, is there a way to set defaults when combining files?

    My specific problem;  When I combine files, Adobe creates the bookmarks (which is desirable).  These bookmarks however, always seem to default on "page width" view.  I would prefer to have the bookmarks set to "fit page".  It is very cumbersome to edit each bookmark to reset the view.  (this is another issue which should be addressed as well).
    My preferences already are set to view the files in fit page, single page, however this setting does not seem to transfer to the combined file.
    Is there a way to globally set the preferences for this?  Even the settings during the combining function do not give options for the page view settings.

    There isn't a way to set this during the Combine process but it's easy to change all the bookmarks in one go using the following technique:
    Open the bookmark navigation pane and select all the bookmarks (be sure to expand all subbookmarks).
    Right-click and choose Properties from the context-sensitive menu.
    Click the Actions tab and choose Execute a menu item from the dropdown.
    Click the Add button and choose View > Zoom > Zoom to Page Level and click OK.

  • Unable to submit form without attachment if file upload fails

    Hi All,
    I have a form, in which I have a input file component.
    Scenario 1 - If i don't attach anything and submit the form, it is successful.
    Scenario 2 - If I attach a file of size less than 2 MB and then submit, it is successful.
    Scenario 3 - If I attach a file of size greater than 2 MB and then submit, ADF gives an error message saying " File is large" which is expected.
    3.1 - In the scenario 3, after file upload fails, I want to submit the form without attaching any file. But the form isn't submitted and the warning message always pops up.
    3.2 - If I upload file of size less than 2MB again and then submit, it is successful.
    Please help me in resolving the issue.
    Thanks,
    Harini.

    Try clearing the error messages
    <af:resource type="javascript">
    function clearMessagesForComponent(evt){

  • How to Combine Files in Acrobat XI Standard?

    I see that you can combine files in XI Standard. But can you right click on multiple files and hit "Combine files in acrobat"? Or do you have to open one file, then search for the others, and combine them that way.
    That's how it works with XI Pro that i downloaded for a trial. But i have Windows 7 64 bit, and that has made my old Acrobat 8 do some weird things, including taking away the choice of right clicking to combine.
    Can someone please tell me if this works? Thanks!

    It might with AA8 if you have installed the updates. Without the updates AA8 may not work correctly. A few have reported it works for them on Win 7, 64-bit. But you are the first I have heard asking about combining files.
    Are the files PDFs or something else. It may be if they are MS OFFICE files, then your AA8 is not compatible with the MS OFFICE you have for this function to work.

  • Acrobat 9 Pro - Combine files dialog box - order of files

    Hi! For my job, I need to combine files into a single PDF that are numbered a certain way, but the way Acrobat orders these files mixes them up when I try to sort by name. For example, it orders them as 09-12167-1, 09-12167-10, 09-12167-11 and so on. Is there a way I can change the order? Or do I have to rename them? 09-12167-001, 09-12167-002, 09-12167-003 etc. orders things the right way.
    Thanks for your response!

    Prior to the last upgrade to Adobe Pro 8.0, we were able to select multiple files in Windows explorer and then right mouse click and select the "Combine supported Files..." and the Combine window would open.
    After the last update this functionality stopped working. You would select the 2-3....files and click on the "Combine..." option and nothing would happen. No errors, no combine screen, nothing.
    I downloaded a trial version of Adobe Pro 9.0 and it does the same thing on one machine and on another it works fine.
    Does anyone know of a setting or parameter that would cause this behavior?
    Thanks
