Combined PDF file isn't  viewing/printing right for some?

I have this Illustrator file, which has 4 layers. Basically each layer is a page. (Yes, next time this will be done in InDesign - lol) So I have saved each layer as a PDF (pg1, pg2, pg3, etc.) - when I save them the other layers are invisible and locked. Each PDF appears as it should when I open them. In Acrobat Pro (V9.5) I combine the PDF's to make one PDF. I have no issues on my mac printing or viewing, but I have had two different problems arise from outside people - one is that when they go to print - all of the pages print on one page (layer over layer or page over page) and two - when they open it to view it they see all of it on one page (Layer over layer or page over page). Sooooooo...is there an Acrobat Pro setting I am missing or something to make this work for everyone? It boggles my brain to no end! Thanks for any insight.

I am seeing the same thing. I just viewed several of our PDF docs and had the same issue. It is really problematic. We have had two customers give us feedback this week about this and both are viewing with Firefox. We need a Firefix. ASAP

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money

  • Save as pdf deleted bookmarks when combining pdf-files

    Hello,
    when I save several books each to a pdf-file with save as pdf (or printing to .ps and converting afterwards), the bookmarks are deleted when I combine the pdf-files with Acrobat. Only one bookmark for the 1st. file exists in the new pdf-file.
    The reference of the bookmarks in the original generated file is e.g. "g3.619626".
    These references are not anymore available in the combined files.
    I've tried several settings before saving as pdf but nothing helped.
    Ther are no problems of combining ordinary pdf-files with bookmarks if they are generated by other programs then Framemaker.
    I need to combine files as well within a book, as "save to pdf" is not able, to generate one file with different pages sizes. I then need to generate a separate pdf-file of the pages with the for e.g. bigger page size and combine it afterwards.
    In that project I'm working there will over all something between 1000 and 1500 pages from maybe 10 books with hunderts of bookmarks plus additionally separete pfd files to combine. So it's not an option to treat every bookmark before combining the pdf-files.
    My system is FM11.02.384 / Acrobat Pro 11.0.3 / Windows 7 64 Bit

    Never having had a need to do it, and Adobe documentation for Acrobat being what it is, I can't tell if AcroPro is supposed to be able to merge bookmarks when merging PDFs. It would be an unsurprising feature, and you do say it works on PDFs generated by means other than FM.
    Here's a hack that might work, if the variable-page-size rendering turns out to be out of reach. You can batch* this.
    Open each component PDF and re-save it with some otherwise harmless optimization (or even none). This will probably cause AcroPro to re-write the internal structures of each PDF, which might then be amenable to merged bookmarks when you re-open them for merging.
    * We do a similar thing for a slightly different problem. We have a software-in-a-box XML publishing app that, at just some seats, is generating PDFs that are tagged for byte serving (fast web view), but are not in fact encoded for it. This causes AcroReader plugin and entire browser crashes for web end users. The s/w vendor can't even tell us where the option is for controlling that feature, because they get the PDF gen code from some other 3rd party. So we routinely batch process all generated PDFs, with, oddly enough, NO "commands" selected. The re-save alone fixes it.

  • 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...

  • The scan's to PDF file can not be printed

    Hello,
    Im have an Mac running on Mac Os X 10.7.3
    I bought a HP officejet PRO 8500 A910.
    The printer is installed and works fine if a want to print a document or a picture. The scanner also works.
    BUT there is a problem.
    When I scan a document in my HP scanner to a PDF file. This PDF file can not be printed. When I send it to other people's computer, the can also read it on screen, but not print.
    The printer gives an error :  Unable to covert PostScript file. (see screenshot).
    Can anyone help me? I want to scan usable PDF documents that can be printed by anyone.
    Thank you.
    Erik 
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The solution given was to convert to image. Then it is no longer a PDF! The printer worked fine until I upgraded to 10.9. Did the change in drivers eliminate the PPD? I can print PDF's from Preview just fine. Will HP be updating the driver to include the proper PPD?  As an aid to troubleshooting, what files should be present in the Library for correct PDF printing? This is happening on both my 8500 and 8610.
    Thanks

  • The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

    Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem.  If you boot into  Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files.  We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
    This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing.  Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

  • Combine PDF Files Toolbar Button/Shortcut - Windows 7

    Hello is there a way to add a button to the windows folder toolbar (see pic below) or a keyboard shortcut to quickly combine pdf files without having to right click and select the option? I would love to save a step since I have to do this quite often. Thank you!

    You would need to edit the Windows Registry in several ways to add that functionality.  You can look this up on the web on the how-to portion.  There are also third party utilities that supposedly make this easier to do too.

    Thanks again.

    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

  • Can't print .pdf files on windows network printer

    Hi,
    I cannot print .pdf files on Canon IRC printer with UFR II 2.23 or 2.24 drivers connected through a windows network by LDP protocol, either with Apple Preview or Acrobat Reader - looks like the software doesn't find the printer (I have the rainbow whell and the software does not answer). It can last for hours, there is no other solution than forcing the soft to quit and finding another way to print. I have updated Canon drivers from 2.23 to 2.24 (all supposed to work with Lion) and that does not fix the problem.
    This problem does not happen with Ms Word or Safari (or, more generally, other types of files) and it worked fine with Snow Leo even with pdf!! I also have windows XP with Parallels and guess what? I can print through Parallels with Acrobat Reader (for windows XP) on the same printer on which I cannot print with my Mac with Lion and Preview or Acrobat Reader for Mac!
    Please help !!
    Alexis

    Correction
    It works with Acrobat but the printer does not like queues of documents...
    The site privided me with the topics I fas looking for about this : it's a Canon drivers and Lion permissions problem.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • The function to combine pdf files and the function to add bookmarks stopped working in 10.x

    We had VBA scripts in Access 2003 running with Acrobat 7.0 standard version to combine pdf files and to add bookmarks. The scripts worked fine. Now we installed 10.x and the functions stopped working. Does anyone share the same experience?
    In the scripts, we just call the OLE object with the code like:
        Set acroOrigPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set acroNewPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Then we have the call "acroOrigPdfDoc.InsertPages" and "acroOrigPdfDoc.Save" to save the combined pdf files. All these functions work fine under 7.x. Under 10.x, they stopped working without any error messages.
    Can anyone help me?
