Combine Files into PDF

Hello,
I've recently restored my computer to factory settings and reinstalled Adobe Acrobat XI Pro (11.0.10) as well as Microsoft Office 2010. My system is Windows 8.1.
When I try to combine .docx or .xlsx files to pdf, I get the error message:
'Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option.'
This issue does not occur when I save the individual files to pdf from the Word or Excel program, then combine the pdfs into a single file. However, I would prefer not to have to convert the files manually due to the large volume of files.
What I also don't understand is why the function used to work perfectly fine, but not anymore.
(Actions Taken)
- Verified Adobe plugin enabled in Microsoft Office
- Verified registry entries for the file extensions
- Repaired Acrobat and Microsoft Office

Hi ,
Did you try a repair for your Acrobat ,if not ,please run a repair for your Acrobat and see the outcome .
I wonder the files you are trying to combine are not corrupt by any chance .This could also be one of the reasons you are getting that error message .
Is it happening for some specific set of files or all the files you are trying to combine ?
Please provide us with the mentioned details so that we can analyse at our end and update you with an appropriate solution .
It would be great if you could share few sample files with us in order for us to check them .
If possible please share the files on [email protected]
Regards

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.

How do I save the Combine Files Into PDF steps?

Hi MarGal,
Can you please elaborate what you actually want to perform.

Combining files into PDF

I am trying to combine word and excel files into a pdf document but I keep on getting file errors and it wont produce a pdf, the software is acrobat xi pro

What is the error? What version of Acrobat, WORD, Excel, and OS? The latter info helps us check compatibility right off the bat. Do you have an Acrobat menu item in WORD and Excel? If not, it is most likely that PDF Maker is not compatible for your OFFICE and you will just have to print each file to PDF and then combine the PDFs in Acrobat.

Problem with Funktion "Combine Files into PDF" on Samba Fileshares

Hi!
When i try to combine Files from a Sambashare witch is connected as V: (\\Server\all_x) then i can choose the Files from the location but when i klick "Combine Files" after a while the ErrorMessage "Cannot open U:\_x\test.doc" Check if you have permission.
Why suddenly Adobe Acrobat will read the File form U: instead of V: ?
The Path before "Underline" (Underscore) was removed : "all_x" -> "_x"
When i renamed the Sambshare to allx without "_" everything is ok.
I can simulate this failure on every Windows XP Workstation. (SP3+all Updates)
Adobe Acrobat X 10.0.0
Samba 3.0.28-0.el4.9
Is this an issue in samba or in Adobe Acrobat?
Update:
This only happens when an other fileshare exists with same name at the beginning.
example:
U: -> \\servername\alle
V: -> \\servername\allev or alle_v (he underscore has no relevance....)
when v: is \\servrname\examplepdf or any other name exept "alle" at the beginning everything is ok.
very strange...
greetings

Have you checked the preferences in Acrobat to see if they have gotten changed?

Acrobat X Pro lagging/never finishing while combining files into pdf?

Hi all,
I'm trying to complete the simple task of combining multiple word documents into one pdf. Since my ultimate product will be very long, I tried to do a test with 2 very small size (text only) word documents. Even this TEST failed to combine -- acrobat hung while "converting" the first file, even after waiting 15+ minutes. How long does this process take?? What am I doing wrong?

Somethings to try:
If not already done ensure all available Acrobat X updates are done.
Open the MS Word files and output PDF from each.
Then open Acrobat X Pro and use the Combine feature to aggregate the PDF files.
Be well...

Combine Files into PDF no longer working in Acrobat XI Standard

Acrobat XI Standard now displays error "Additional files will need to be installed to create PDF from this file. You must have administrator privileges to install these files. Please contact your local system administrator." I am a single user on a single Windows 8.1 machine not on a network. Acrobat XI Standard installed from disc and then updated. Also running Office 2013. This worked fine until a few weeks ago as well as the right-click "Convert to PDF" option - now gone. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat XI completely. I have completed the full on-line Office repair as well. Same error. Any help would be appreciated - thank you.

Behavior for PDFs is not handled by SharePoint, but rather Adobe Acrobat. Validate Adobe Acrobat's PDF browser extension has been disabled (you can do this via IE and I believe Adobe Acrobat has this option within it's own Preferences).

Hi
I wonder if anyone has experienced this. Everytime I try to combine various pdfs into a single one, Acrobat Pro seems to crash or get stuck no dialogue window will come up and the only thing I can see is what I circled in red:
Hope somebody can help me.
Thanks!

Hi John,
Thanks for your reply. The error ocurrs even before I manage to choose files, the Combine Files into a Single PDF window doesn't even come up when I click on it from the menu. It is definitely not a problem with the files.
Best,

Combining files into a single pdf stopped working

I used to be able to combine files into a single pdf on my Mac using Adobe Acrobat XI Professional. Now when I select "combine files into a single pdf", I just get a short vertical line with a gray cloud around it in the center of my screen. Do I need to reinstall the program?

2) When did it last worked?
3)Any changes to the application/OS that you made (Update)?
If possible, Kindly include the screenshot.

Combine ppt files into pdf - picture issue

Hello All,
we are trying to combine several ppt files into one pdf document . Joining process went correctly, but some pictures in the final pdf are broken. If we try to save separate file to pdf, there is no issue. This issue is visible only during marging several ppts files into pdf. Please, do somebody know, where shoold be a problem ? (Office 2013, Adobe Acrobat XI)
Thanks in advance for any help.
Peter

Hi Peter Drgon,
One possible solution would be to replace the broken images of the combined pdf with original ones.
You can select the particular broken images from your ppt file and convert them to pdf,
then import that image containing pdf into your combined pdf file and later you can use 'edit text and images' tools to replace the broken Image in your combined pdf file.
Does that help? If you face any challenges or if i have misinterpreted your issue. Please let me know.
Regards,
Rahul

Combine files to PDF and selecting files one at a time - Adobe CreatePDF online application

Are you able to select up to 10 files at one time through the "select files" browser window? The instructions at https://www.acrobat.com/createpdf/en/merge-combine-pdf-files-online.html seem to indicate that you are able to select up to 10 items and then convert and combine.
"1 Sign in to your CreatePDF account online
2 Click on Combine files to PDF, then Select Files
3 Choose one or more files to merge into a single PDF
4 Click Open"
At this point I am only able to select files 1 at a time, which means steps 3 and 4 repeat up to 10 times if you are combining the maximum 10 files at once. I have tried using shift select and ctrl select to no avail.
Thank you for any help on this issue.

I think I found my answer at a different set of instuctions at http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat-com/kb/using-createpdf.html. This set of instructions clearly indicates that files will be selected 1 at a time.
Click Combine Files To PDF.
Click Select Files.
Select one of the files that you want to combine.
Click Open.
Click Add Files and select additional files to combine. Click Open."
If anyone has any ideas on how to more quickly combine files, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error Message when Combining Files to PDF in Acrobat XI-Pro

Hi!
I am trying to combine multiple CAD files to PDF and keep encountering an error message.
I'm using the Combine Files to PDF, dragging in the corresponding files (.DWG files) into Acrobat and then clicking the Combine button. They convert to PDF but a dialog box immediately pops up:
As I'm the person creating the .pdf document and am using Acrobat XI-Pro to do so, what am I doing wrong to continue to receive this message?
Thanks for the help!

Hi TTownWriter,
Try creating a combined file as follows :
- Open one of the files .
- Open thumbnail pane of the file via Left hand tools pane .
- Go to options and Insert the second(or subsequent) files to the opened file using "Insert Pages" menu option.
- Save the file.
Refer the screenshot.
