Combine printjobs to a single pdf

We use Acrobat X Pro and would like to use the "Adobe PDF"-printer for all usual printjobs out of Word/Excel and so on.
That is no problem.
But furthermore we would like to combine several printjobs out of our ERP-Software to one single PDF.
Within our ERP-Software we can define:
a) Paperformat, landscape, 55 mm x 30 mm
b) specific-Printer for that issue
And our ERP then starts to do one or even more separate printjobs onto that specified printer with the specified papersizes.
How can we setup the printer settings, that:
a) all single printjobs will be combined/merged together
b) the "summary-pdf" will be saved under a specific name in a specific folder automatically, when the printjobs are finished
Is it possible to use parameters with printjobs to handle those tasks?

The Adobe PDF printer has no capabilities to combine or append.
However, using information in the Acrobat SDK, a programmer can predefine the print file in advance of a single print. A programmer can also use Acrobat to combine PDFs, again using SDK information.

  • Problem combining files into a single PDF

    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?

  • Combine Files into a Single PDF option missing from start up in Acrobat Reader XI

    The 'Combine Files into a Single PDF' option missing from start up in Acrobat Reader XI and is also not available on the right-click button.

  • Acrobat Pro XI is not recognizing Word 2013 files when I try to combine files in a single PDF. Please help.

    I recently upgraded to Office 2013. Everything seems to be working fine with Acrobat Pro XI, except when I try to combine Word 2013 files into a single PDF, I get this message: "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. . . ." Please help. Thanks.

    I've opened both Word and Excel. The Acrobat ribbon is showing in both programs and I did some test things and they seem to be working fine. However,  I still cannot see or use formats other than pdf in the Acrobat Pro program. Is there another setting that needs to be adjusted?

  • Can't combine InDesign files to single PDF file

    I'm using Windows XP, Acrobat 8 Professional, InDesign (CS3). Here is the problem: When trying to combine three InDesign files into one single PDF file with Acrobat 8, I get an error message saying something about expecting PDF default presents but get 'Standard'. I've gone into the InDesign files and set the presets to another setting but still get the same message. Quite confused as to how to fix this. Does anyone know, or is there another way of creating a single PDF of three separate Indesign files??

    Try exporting the files from within InDesign as PDF and them combine them in Acrobat.

  • Combine files into a single PDF

    I upgraded from Adobe 9 Professional to Adobe 11 professional. In version 9 I was able to select WORD and EXCEL files and drag them to combine into a single PDF. When i do that in version 11, I get an error message and i have to remove the files which defeats the purpose of combining into a single PDF. The message I get is "Cannot convert file to PDF. Please remove this file for the list." on the bottom in red is states "Acrobat does not support the conversation of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option."  I am not a fan of portfolio and some of my vendors do not navigate well.  If there a fix or a solution?  What I am currently doing to make this work and it takes time is converting each EXCEL and WORD document to PDF and then using the "Combine into a Single PDF" option. Thanks.

  • Errors Trying to combine files into a single PDF after update?

    I am not sure if an adobe acrobat update caused this but I have not been able to since at least the second most recent update. I can insert pages but If select multiple pages there is always in issue with the order. I have not tried un-installing and re-installing yet. Please Help. Thank you.
    Update: I tried un-installing and re-installing but did not work completely. I was able to combine some jpgs from the windows right click menu but I am not able to combine PDFs that I have converted from other tiffs or the tiffs themselves.

    Hi jmorganparker,
    This is quite unusual. Was it working fine for you before?
    Please try updating to Acrobat 11.0.7 and check.

  • Combine Files into a Single PDF with Same File Name

    I have one PDF form that I have to fill in some data and a Microsoft  Word Document.   Sometimes I wait a few days so I need to complete the same PDF form.  When I combine them, I get warning that PDF forms with the same name will be the same - if I do not want this, I should create a PDF portfolio.  The portfolio does not see like I want.  It combines the PDFs into some else.
    I could change the names of the fields that I need, but I am sometimes afraid that I missed something.
    Is there a way to get away with this issue so the combination is good?  I have to fax the documents in once created and the portfolio does not seem like I can do that.
    Adobe Acobat XI Pro and Windows 8.1
    Thank you!
    Corey

    So I think I found it - you go to File - Save As Other - Discard and then check Flatten form fields.  The fields can be changed (but that is fine, I am faxing the pages). 
    So I guess I am trying to verify, is this the correct way?
    I ask because I found Eight Free Acrobat XI Actions for Legal Pros that leads me to down a .sequ file extension.
    If the first one is correct, and I have a PDF page that needs to be used twice in the combination, this will work?  And that data field (say 9ROW OF SERVICE) the first page can have 01/22/2014 and the second will have 01/23/2014?  I just want to make sure because before when I reviewed the Binder, if I entered 01/23/2014, then the other PDF page has the incorrect date of 01/23/2014 instead of 01/22/2014.  I ask this as well because sometimes I might have to change the date or something else in a field with the same field name, and that other PDF file will update.
    Thank you!

  • Combining multiple files into a single PDF/A

    The issue brought up in another discussion is the loss of PDF/A conformity when “merging” multiple PDF/A files into a single file (I use PDF/A for preservation of corporate records). The “insert” option retains conformity but does not allow inserting multiple files in a certain order, unless you insert them one by one (which is a pain when you have 50 files to attach).
    The solutions I’ve come up with so far:
    1)     1)  In AAPro – combine files into a single PDF and then convert it to PDF/A using Preflight. This is easy, my only problem is that I don’t have AAPro (and AAStandard doesn’t convert to PDF/A).
    2)     2)  In AAStandard – combine files into a single PDF and then “print” to PDF/A. The problem of this “re-frying” is that it only creates PDF/A-1b (not 1a), bookmarks and OCR of scanned pages are lost, and files become significantly larger.
    I wonder if anyone knows a more intelligent way around this problem, provided that I only have AAStandard. Thanks!

    Well, when the .pdf is in the final, deliverable form; I open it in Mac preview mode and the sidebar is always extended showing a 'table of contents' rather than having each document in the pdf file have a number designating a page name, it shows each individual filename the pdf is composed of. Not too sure about bookmark, though. Thanks for the reply!
    If you want, I can send the file to you.

  • Can I use CreatePDF to switch around the pages within a single pdf document that scanned wrong?

    I understand CreatePDF would allow me to combine documents into a single pdf file.  But, (1) can I move around (switch/correct the order of) pages within a single PDF file?  (2) Can I delete pages from a single file or a combined file?  (3) Once created, can I edit the file in any way?  If these services were available, I would likely subscribe.  I don't want to subscribe without knowing.

    Thanks for your reply.  Pardon my ignorance. Acrobat would allow me to move pages around?

  • Merge form responses into single pdf

    I have 30 form responses and would like to combine them into a single pdf.  When I use the Merge Files Into Single PDF feature, the forms are combined into a single pdf, but the first form is duplicated 30 times.  In other words, the form fields on the other 29 forms are replaced with the data from the first form.  Can multiple form responses be combined into a singe pdf and the data be retained for each form?

    It is a bit late but I recently came across the same issue with combining mutliple PDF forms for which form fields have identical names. For example 100 people fill out the same PDF form and you need to combine them into one.
    I beleive you need to have Acrobat Pro
    1. File > Export > Export Multiple (This brings a dialog up where you can drag and drop a group of files.)
    2. Click OK
    3. Select EPS (Encapsulated PostScript)
    4. Click OK (Now you have .eps files of each PDF)
    5. Advanced > Print Production > Acrobat Distiller
    6. Select Standard
    7. Drag all the EPS files into Distiller
    PS - If anyone has a better solution please let me know!

  • Merge files in Portfolio into single PDF, preserving order

    Hello, I am using Acrobat X.
    I have ordered a large number of files in a PDF portfolio into a desired sequence.
    Now, to make it easy to print the collection, I would like to merge them into a single PDF. When I use Create>Combine Files into a Single PDF, my sort order is ignored and the files are combined in an alphatebical sort by file name. Now I could repeat the entire process of manual sorting that I undertook in forming the Portfolio in the Combine Files list, but that will be take up a lot of time and doesn't seem like the smart way to do it.
    Can someone suggest how to do this merge the way I want it, automatically?

    I've developed a tool that might help you solve this problem.

  • Convert portfolio to single pdf file

    Hi, I have a portfolio of my email archive which I want to convert to a single pdf file. The way I'm doing it is by combining files and adding the portfolio file and then clicking combine, merge files into a single pdf, adding the portfolio and selecting single pdf file. This 'breaks up' the portfolio into its individual constituents which you can then combing into a single normal pdf file.
    But there is a problem. In the portfolio the original date of the email is retained so you can sort the emails chronologically. However, when the portfolio is broken up the individual files are dated on the date the portfolio is created and so the new file is not sorted in the chronological send/receive order of the emails.
    So my question is: how do I combine emails to a single pdf file in the chronological order of the emails?
    Many thanks
    Ps Since typing this message I've noticed that when printing all files in the portfolio it also doesn't print it in chronological order even though that's how they're sorted in the portfolio.

    Something to try —
    View the open Portfolio in the List or Basic Grid view.
    Select all the files.
    Select File > Sae Files from Portfolio > Use the Browse For Folder dialog to select a destination.
    Click OK.
    A copy of the Portfolio's files will be in the designated location.
    Perform the Combine > Merge Files into a Single PDF action.
    Be well..
