Combine PDF Files created in Designer

In Acro 7, you can combine PDF files into 1 file (Document-Insert). When the PDF is created in Designer, these choices are greyed out. Is there a work around?

No. You cannot do any edits in Acrobat on Designer forms. Also,
combining Acrobat forms rarely gives the results people expect!

Unprotect the PDF file Created by Designer 7

Can anyone help me to unprotect the file created by designer 7. I didn't trigger the security features of this program. What happen is that, I already finished the design and already save the file but when I try to use Professional 7 to merge it with my other PDF, the error message appear "The file .....PDF is protected." I'm a first time user of this program.
Thanks

I have the same problem. I created a form from a pdf file and then wnated to add a page, from another form, as you can do with acrobat and the "insert pages" is grayed out. I tried to create a pdf file by "create pdf...from multiple files" and I get the "this file is protected message. I already tried to unprotect, it was not protected in the first place, and it will not let me do it.
Also if you use the page tab on the left it will not let you delete a page.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Dennis

I want to combine pdf files. I do not see the approprate create botton.

I want to combine pdf files. I cannot find the create button or tab

Hi yisa ajao,
If you have bought Export PDF / Acrobat.com service you can select 'Combine files' option on the right hand side and then click on 'Select Files' button to select the files you wish to combine.
Else if you are using Acrobat Pro, please See the link : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6151097 94195ff-7edc.w.html

Requesting user capability to "Save Response as PDF File w/form design intact"

Love the new admin "Save Response as PDF File with form design intact" feature, but we really need for our indivual users (i.e. the ones filling out the form) to be able to do this. Our director still needs a hard copy of the form for manual signatures and those who pay by check. Our committee chairs use the online data (from excel file) but we also need the user to print a hard copy to physically turn in to the director. A .pdf file with form design intact that our user could print out and turn in would be helpful.

Hi,
We have an "Ideas" page where you can add or vote on feature ideas:

Merge and Combine PDF files in a numerical order

Greetings!
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to create a photo LookBook or an eBook. I'm importing and merging straight from .JPEG's and Acrobat work's great. The JPEG's are sorted by capture date, renamed and numbered as such: "10_File.Name.jpg". However, once I attempt to merge over 100 files I noticed that the numerical order of the file names is wrong. You'll notice in the example below that when viewed by name, the three digit numbers begin after 10. Well, in this example it's twelve. This affects to page order of the combined .PDF file. How can I maintain consistent name order to avoid assembling the finished ebook by implementing two workflow steps. Meaning the first step to combine the double digit numbers, then the second step to combine the three digit numbers. What can I do to resolve this issue?
Greatly appreciated!

Try it with a leading zero ( 003_, 007_, 008_, 010_, 011_, and 012_ ).
Be well...

Is there a Maximum file size limit when combining pdf files

I am trying to combine files 8 PDF files created with i Explore using Acrobat XI Standard, the process is completed but when opening the file not all 8 individual files have been combined only the first two have been combined, the process shows all eight being read and combined.
I can open and view each of the original 8 individual files and read the content without any issue, the largest of the eight files is 15,559kb and the smallest is 9,435kb
if anyone can assist that would be most appreciated

Hi Tayls450,
This should not have happened as there is no maximum file size limit when combining PDFs.
Please let me know if there are some password protected PDFs also?
Also, I would suggest you to choose 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the Help menu.

Combined pdf files with garbage fonts

I need help with creating a combined pdf document. I start with word 2013, and use the styles to create a linked table of contents. Then Save As to a pdf. I deselect the Options to allow the links to work in the pdf format. Then I add other pdf's created from word, excel or AutoCAD. Finally I add outside pdf's from other sources (i.e. manuals) to complete the combined pdf. Some, not all of my AutoCAD pdf's will have text changes, boxes or the letter L, basically gibberish. I did recently change computers from a desktop to a laptop. Running windows 8 and upgraded Acrobat Pro from X to XI. This is extremely frustrating as it just recently seemed to start doing this. I work for a manufacturing firm and have created combined pdf files to distribute to customers, vendors, etc. on a regular basis, and this just started. I don't know how to fix it. Please help

Hi Tullefog,
Kindly post this query in Acrobat forums:Acrobat

Size of pages in combined pdf files

How can I keep the combined pdf files from changing sizes in the newly created pdf. If the combining tool doesn't allow me to save the original pdf file size, it's of very little use to me. Can someone help me ?

You are saying that the PDF pages change size when combined? Ok, what were the sizes before and after? You can check the exact size by holding the mouse at the extreme bottom left of the page until the size appears.

How do I combine pdf files into one?

I am trying to combine pdf files into on big pdf file. I have an account and I am signed in but when I try to create a file the options do not pop up. Only option is to open a single file, not combine them.

You are asking in the Adobe Reader user two user forum. Adobe Reader cannot combine PDF files.
You spoke of a "service". The forum for subscription services is the acrobat.com forum.

Want to allow designated clients to upload pdf files to a designated page on my cs4 website

want to allow designated clients to upload pdf files to a designated page on my cs4 website. want those files to be live on that page when their upload is complete. this is so I dont have to receive their file and upload it myself.
appreaciate the help.

Everything you have described can be done using PHP (assuming your website is on an apache server). There are three separate "sub-projects" to your overall project:
1. Log-in system. Secrity is an issue here. There are several ways to accomplish this.
2. File upload routine.
3. Display of directory contents in a dynamic webpage.
Fortunately, each of these tasks is explained in the book PHP Solutions, by David Powers. It even presents several different methods for handling the log-in password routine and security. Since your project doesn't require a database, you will want to choose a password storage method that doesn't require one.
The way I would handle this is to create a directory for each client. Maybe the directory name will be the client's ID, like 27, 28, etc. Then the upload routine will use a varible based on the client id, so it will put the right client's files in the right directory.
Overall, this is not a very difficult project, especially if you get the Power's book and read through the appropriate chapters.

Will I receive a credit from my original purchase if I upgrade to be able to combine PDF files?

I purchased a subscription to the online conversion program. Now I'm thinking of upgrading so that I can combine PDF files. Will my original payment be used as a credit towards the upgrade or will I basically be double charged since I didn't purchase the full version originally?

For anyone interested in the outcome of this issue:
I was able to speak with someone over LiveChat and we came to this solution. I decided to complete this upgrade within the first 30 days of purchaseing the $20 subscription for Adobe Export PDF. Therefore I was able to cancel that subscription for a full refund and then purchase the upgrade (Adobe Create PDF, $90 subscription).
Hope that helps for anyone else in the same situation.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

Problem with PDF files created by Indesign

PDF files created by Adobe Indesign come up as blank pages whereas PDF files created by Mac OS X or Apple's Pages display OK. Is there a difference in the way PDF files are created?

No problem with Adobe Reader 8 or 9 .

PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type in varchar2, document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
     l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
     l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
     l_output_directory varchar2(30);
     l_filename          varchar2(255);
     src_loc             bfile;
     bdoc                blob;
     src_offset          number := 1;
     dst_offset          number := 1;
     amount              number;
begin
     l_itemtype := substr(document_id, 1, instr(document_id, ':') - 1);
     l_itemkey := substr(document_id, instr(document_id, ':') + 1, length(document_id) - 2);
     l_output_directory := 'USR_TMP_DIR';
     l_filename := Wf_Engine.GetItemAttrText(l_itemtype, l_itemkey, 'ATR_FILENAME');
     src_loc := bfilename(l_output_directory,l_filename);
     dbms_lob.createTemporary(bdoc, FALSE, dbms_lob.call);
     dbms_lob.fileopen(src_loc, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
     dbms_lob.loadblobfromfile(bdoc,src_loc,dbms_lob.lobmaxsize,src_offset,dst_offset);
     dbms_lob.fileclose(src_loc);
     amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
     dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.
procedure attach_document (p_document_id   in varchar2,
                           p_display_type in varchar2,
                           p_document      in out nocopy clob,
                           p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid        number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename   varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);
l_src_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_dst_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_err_msg    varchar2(100);
l_amount     number;
l_bfile BFILE;
l_blob BLOB;
l_clob CLOB;
file_not_found exception;
pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(file_not_found, -22288);
begin
l_nid := to_number(p_document_id);
l_directory := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_DIRECTORY'));
l_filename := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_FILENAME'));
l_content_type := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_CONTENT_TYPE'));
l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
begin
    dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
    when file_not_found then
      l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
      raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.
Thanks - Vijay
