"Combine supported filed in Acrobat" doesn't work for Office docs

Windows 7 x64, Acrobat 9 Pro, Office 2010. I used to be able to select the context menu action "Combine supported files in Acrobat..." on multiple Office files, and it worked fine. But I recently had this computer reimaged, and now what happens is that, instead of automatically converting all the files to PDF then merging them, it instead converts the first file, brings up the save-as dialog for that file, then nothing. It just stalls out, displaying "Converting..." next to the first file and never moving on.
The only difference between my computer now and before is that before I was running under an admin account, while now I'm running under a restricted account, with elevation available as needed.

Acrobat 9 is not supported for Office 2010 files. See this compatibility page:
http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html
Perhaps prior to the re-imaging, you were using Office 2007, which is compatible with Acrobat 9?

Printing doesn't work for some docs (CUPS 1.4, Samsung ML-2010, Splix)

I installed my Samsung ML-2010R some days ago. CUPS version is 1.4.2-1. Splix is 2.0.0-1.
After blacklisting lpusb installation worked fine. Also printing a testpage worked. Printing works for some documents, but there are some which won't (all were pdfs, but I mainly tested .pdfs). The document is sent to the printer (or at least it looks so), but nothing happens (sometimes the printer makes a short noise). When I go to http://localhost:631/printers/ it says "Frei - "Processing page 11..."" (while "frei" being German for "free", don't know, perhaps the corresponding status in English is idle). The page number changes depending on the document (but it is always the same page if I try to print the same document more times).
In the log-files I don't find anything useful (at least for me). Here is what I get, if I try to print one of these documents:
In page_log:

Perhaps you could help me with further debugging. I'll try the proprietary Samsung driver in the meantime.

EDIT: This didn't actually seem to fix the problem. :'(
Good news! I think the outstanding developers of Debian have a patch for our bug.
It involves recompiling CUPS, which in Arch means making new packages for "cups" and "libcups". I used the package build information for CUPS from ABS and created a new PKGBUILD. Here it is for reference:
pkgbase="cups"

This makes new versions of the packages "cups" and "libcups". I installed them and my printer is behaving very well. The Debian/Ubuntu developers work miracles.
If you could try it, to see if it fixes your printer problems too, that would be great.
Here is where I got the patches from. http://patch-tracker.debian.org/package/cups/1.4.2-4 I applied almost all of them. I excluded the "drop unnecessary dependencies" patch because it brought compiler errors with the default Arch CUPS PKGBUILD, and also excluded the "man page" and "manual" patches. I think the only patch you and I actually need is the "usb-backend-both-usblp-and-libusb" patch, but I'm not really in the mood to try applying only that one, since it seems to be working fine now. I decided to ignore applying the Ubuntu CUPS patches, because they mostly seem to be simply patches to the way CUPS is installed. Anyway, I hope these patches are moved upstream soon!
If we have good results from this PKGBUILD, I think I will upload it to AUR. It will be my first AUR package.

Combine supported files in Acrobat 10 Pro fails for password protected files

I use Acrobat 10 Pro and wanted to combine a number of pdf-files to one big file.
It failed because the files in question have a permission password.
After I bought Acrobat on first creation of a pdf-file I was asked set a password
for reading and/or modifying it.
I decided to set no password for reading, but one for modification namely
<christian-name>.<surname> . I noted this down.
When I got the error indication after I tried to combine some pdf-files I tried
to remove the permission password. I was asked my password, but the program
refuses to take it.
What can i do, except to scan all the invoved pdf-documents once again, this time
without any password. It's quite a lot of them.
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Hi thandman,
Acrobat 8 is not certified for Win 7 64 bit, so this may just be the first issue you will encounter.
Hope this helps,

The "combine supported files in Acrobat..." option either disappears or doesn't work

I have tried searching for an answer on this with no joy!
We have documents that we regularly produce here that are a mixture of Word, Excel and PDF documents, all combined into 1 PDF. Currently we have to convert each document into PDF individually, then combine these into 1 large PDF.I have tried several different file types for the word documents (i.e. .doc .docx .dot) and in every case either the "combine supported files in Acrobat..." option disappears from the right click menu, or after moving to the 2nd page in the "combine files wizard" under "Warnings/Errors" they come up with the error "cannot convert file type to PDF. Please remove this file from list."
This is happening on several PCs, some with version 8 and some with version 9 of adobe. We are using office 2007 in case this is relevent?
Any ideas how we can change this?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Tom

Hey TomHawes,
I checked for the same. The .dot file extension does not support the option for 'Combine files to Acrobat' when combined with other .doc and .docx files.
You might need to first convert it into PDF and then combine it with other files.

Anubha

Combine supported files in acrobat missing in acrobat x pro when I right click drop down menu

combine supported files in acrobat missing in adobe x pro when I right click drop down menu also Convert to Adobe PDF is missing too. The open with & share with options are gone too when I right click files. My computer crashed & I had to have the motherboard replaced. The tech store put some of my programs back on my compter but not sure how or if they did stuff correctly. Need help fixing my problem becasue I use this all the time. Thanks

I'm having the same issue. I got a new PC, insalled Acrobat X pro and when I right click on an Office file, I could not combine or convert Office files to PDF. I upgraded to Acrobat XI and still no fix. I triled to convert or combine office files to PDF from within Acrobat and I get an error message saying "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".
I've tried to convert or combine Office 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013 files and none work. The weird thing is that the option shows up for Excel .csv files. Even more werid is that I have the PDF tabs showing in the Office applications.
I contacted Adobe support via chat and they were unable to help. I was directed here, so any help would be great.
Thanks.

I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 through time until I am currently using version X, which doesn't work with Office 2013. Can I upgrade to version Standard XI?

Over the years I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 to currently working with version X.
However, since getting a new laptop it doesn't work with Office 2013.
Can I upgrade to Standard XI?

Upgrade pricing now only applies to version 9 and X. So if you have a retail serial number for X, you should be able to upgrade. (Or consider subscription).

"Combine supported files in Acrobat" right-click funtion is slow or locks up system since upgrade to Office 2013

I have several admins who have for years combined quantities of large Word documents into a single PDF by highlighting them, right-clicking, and selecting "Combine supported files in Acrobat." Until recently, they were all using Office 2010 Pro Plus and a variety of versions of Acrobat - Standard 9, Professional 9, Standard 10. They said it was quick and painless. We've recently deployed Office 2013 Pro Plus, and they are complaining that doing the same thing they've always done is either completing but yeilding only the first document in the resulting PDF or rendering their systems unresponsive. I have reproduced their issues and have found some evidence online of Possible incompatibilities between Office programs and the Adobe Acrobat PDFMaker Office COM Addin add-in, however Adobe's list of Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications indicates that Office 2013 supports PDFMaker versions as old as Acrobat 6, and we are not that outdated. Any suggestions? This is crippling their productivity.
Thanks!
Carrie

Only the updated Acrobat XI supports Office 2013. The updates are necessary to address the changes to OFFICE introduced after Acrobat XI was released (OFFICE 2013 is more recent than the original AA XI release). No other versions of Acrobat can be used with OFFICE 2013 other than printing to the Adobe PDF printer.

Then suddenly 1 week ago, All the wifi from my office, home, hotel and coffee house saying either incorrect password or can't join the wifi.

Hi Suresh,
I have one issue with same report
when i seen the report there are two arrears days are showing to corresponding to the months Feb
as per the Report S_ALR_87012177 help following below
Arrears in days
The average days in arrears are determined as follows: Every
incoming payment in the periods concerned is multiplied by its days
in arrears. These amounts are added together and then divided by the
total amount from all the incoming payments. This process ensures
that the days in arrears are weighted by the payment amount
but for February month there are 9 payments on one customer and when checked in FBL5N report
there are no Arrears days on each payment document but in the report "customer history ' there showing 2 days as arrears under " payments with Cash discount .Arrears"
User has doubt how this report is working to show the Arrears days
Are there any Formula , can you please advise me
if you knows well about this
Regards
Ranamka

The enclosure in RSS feed doesn't work for Itune

I subscribed to my podcast rss feed to ITune, which was valid and had been tested successfully with other aggregator such as Ipodder, however, it doesn't work for ITune. When I hit "get" button next to my podcast name, I always get "!" sign in front of the name, and when I clicked it, I got error message "There was a problem downloading 'XXXXX'. The network connection could not be made".
I'm not sure if this problem resulted from the "rewrite" function I used on my podcasting server in order to track the downloading. Here is how it works: When a mp3 file is requested, my web server will redirect the request to another asp.net program to do something and then redirect to the real mp3 file for downloading. Can it be problem in Itune? But I can use this enclosure url to download this mp3, and also the Ipodder works file with this rss feed.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your reply.
However, according to the iTune specs as following,
Tracking Usage
Please note that iTunes does not provide usage statistics. Some podcasters have created mechanisms for tracking the number of times that each episode has been downloaded. iTunes does not provide support in how to track downloads, but the following notes may be helpful:
* 302s will be followed to a depth of 5 redirects and will not update the feed URL in the directory.
* The URL before the GET-style form values (before the first ?) must end in a media file extension (e.g. mp3). To work around this, the feed provider can alter their URL from this:
http://www.podcaster.com/load.php?f=&Wipeout.php
to this:
http://www.podcaster.com/load.mp3?f=&Wipeout.mp3
Notice how it says load.mp3 instead of load.php. It should be possible to accomplish this via various means, such as web server rewrites. iTunes looks at the extension of the path part of the url, i.e. the part before the”?”.
The http request redirection is allowed as long as the appropriate file extension such as ".mp3" is used.
By the way, I tested it with "no redirection" version, which worked fine.
