Combine files

When I try to Combine Files,and I click on Add Files, Acrobat tells me my psd and InDesign files are unsupported and won't include them. These are the main ones I want to use. What can I do?

You can make PDF files directly from InDesign or Photoshop, no need to
use Acrobat.

  • Acrobat XI Pro combine files window not visible

    So I was trying to combine files into one pdf this morning, but Acrobat's window for doing so would not appear. I could minimize it, and see it down on the bottom of my dock, but when I tried to maximize it, it would disappear. (I'm on a Mac). Everything else on the app was working perfectly. I:
    -checked all preferences
    -tried to re-arrange window configurations
    -made sure my 2nd monitor was up as it might have been last time I used the program
    -opened pdfs and then tried to combine them
    -quit and re-opened the application several times
    -tried again to access the 'combine' window from every angle I could
    -rebooted, then went through it all again
    -went to adobe to check for updates. Application manager says Acrobat XI is up to date. Won't let me do anything.
    So, I decided to uninstall it so I could start fresh and re-install. Uninstalled, went back to the Cloud. App manager says Acrobat XI is up to date, and still won't let me download or anything else.
    Rebooted. Went back to the Cloud. Same thing again.
    I would very much like to be able to use this app. I have things to do...

    I figured out how to recreate the preferences and it fixed the problem.  Here is how I did it:
    Quit Acrobat
    In Finder hold down "option" and open the "Go" menu.  Pick "Library"
    Open "Preferences" folder
    Drag "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" to your desk top
    Reopen Acrobat and try to merge 2 files
    If it works you have solved your problem.  Acrobat will replace the missing file with the default.
    If it doesn't work you can drag the original folder back into "preferences" and keep trying to figure out what was wrong.
    Part of the answer was in the Acrobat workspace instruction.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Unable to open the document when combining files.

    We have a user that gets an error when combining files. It says
    Unable to open the document:
    <Filename and path>
    Please check to see if you have read permission for the above file.
    Retry and cancel buttons.
    We get this error on every subsequent file, it works on the first one after the computer starts.
    This computer has Windows Vista Business with SP2, Adobe Acrobat X with the latest patches.
    It doesn't matter if the files are local or on a network drive, the same always occurs. I have cleared
    all user and system temporary files, re-installed, verified the Acrobat Add-In for Word 2010 is active,
    verifed the PDF printer is working fine. It only happens when trying to combine files. I have given the
    user local administrator privilidges, tried with my account that has domain admin priviledges, no luck.
    I really need some suggestions...
    Thanks,
    Tom

    I have found out from Adobe technical support that this is a known issue with Office 2010 SP1 installed.
    This is an FYI for anyone else experiencing this issue, remove SP1 and it will work ok.
    They said an update to correct this issue will be coming within the next quarter.

  • Getting "save as" dialog box to auto populate when combining files in Acrobat X Standard

  • 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.

  • 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

    This issue orignally occured on Acrobat 9. I repair installed 9, then uninstalled and removed the Acrobat folder from the program data folder, rebooted and reinstalled 9. This did not work. Next I upgraded to 10 rebooted and attempted the combine and it still failed. I logged in as the administrator and tried again and it still crashed. I am not sure where else to go with this.
    I am currently on Acrobat X Standard version 10.0.0
    You help is appreciated.

    First of all, update to the latest version of Acrobat X.

  • How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard

    How to retain numerical order (Of file names) when combining files in Acrobat (9) Standard, please see the attached screenshot for a clearer explanation.
    I understand that if we prefix all files with leading zero's this will probably resolve the issue but I just wondered if anyone new the answer. The ironic situation is that version 6 has no problem.
    I have spent over an hour with techincal support who were unable to provide me with an answer

    It is not clear how you are trying to do the order. Have you tried to select a set of files and then use the arrow buttons to move them in the list? If you select the heading, that will typically reorder the files by that heading and undo everything you had done before.
    You should be able to select groups of files and move them up and down in the list. All of those options appear on your view, so what is the real question?

  • Combining files in single pdf file

    After installing adobe acrobat 9 pro, I tried to opened the merged pdf file I had created in adobe 8 standard. I can see the combined folder in the "combine files" window, but I cannot open that file and expose the individual pdf files for sorting, removing, or adding.  When I choose reuse files, I can also see the merged file names but cannot open any of them to reveal the individual files combined Any help would be appreciated

    Try67's answer will work, but the best method is to use a second program, like Illustrator, FrameMaker or InDesign. Any desktop publishing program should work. If you have a WP program that will import pdfs, then you can use that as well. On the Mac, Word will do what you want, I am unsure if current versions of Word on the PC will import PDF files, previous versions did not support pdfs.
