Combining .docx into a PDF in Acrobat XI Pro

I am trying to combine two Word documents into a PDF, but when I do, Acrobat says that it encountered an unexpected error and cannot convert the documents. I was able to get around this issue by printing to Adobe PDF and combining the PDF documents, but I would like to get the conversion working correctly in Acrobat, especially since it was working earlier this year.
The Acrobat toolbar in Word is lacking its icons (see below).
I tried using the Repair Installation feature in Acrobat and had no luck fixing the problem.
Acrobat: Pro XI
OS: Windows 7
Any help would be appreciated.

I can't say as I've seen the Acrobat Ribbon look like that before. Have you confirmed that the PDFMaker Add-on is enabled? What version of Word is this?

Blurry images when I combine files into a PDF with Acrobat

I have created 4 files in Photoshop with a combination of graphics and text. I am trying to make a PDF that can be emailed, so it only has to look good onscreen. I have saved each file in numorous ways (jpg, tiff, pdf, bmp etc...) I have eliminated any compression. When I pull the files up individually they look great, but when I try and combine them in a PDF the images get blurry. I have selected the largest file size, change compression for jpg (and the others) in acrobat. I can't figure out what I am missing. Why do the files look good until I combine them?

A little confusing. How to eliminate compression when using JPG or PDF?
If you export the images from Photoshop to PDF, will they look good on screen? If so, and you import and combine in Acrobat, they should not be changed, unless you select "Save as optimised PDF", because then optimisation settings could re-encode the images to lower resolution.

Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

I NEED HELP ON COMBINING FILES INTO ONE PDF FILE

HOW CAN I TAKE 6 FILES AND MAKE THEM INTO ONE PDF FILE?

How to merge files into one PDF:

Click Add Files and select the files you want to add.
Click, drag, and drop to reorder the files and pages. Double-click on a file to expand and rearrange individual pages. Press the Delete key to remove unwanted content.
When finished arranging the files, click Combine Files.
Select File > Save As > PDF.
Name your PDF file and click Save.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

I am trying to drag and drop one page of a .pdf into another .pdf in Acrobat Reader. I used to be able to drag and drop from one .pdf to another.

If you could drag and drop pages before, it wasn't in Reader. You no doubt had Adobe Acrobat (Pro or Standard) which shouldn't be confused with Adobe Acrobat Reader. They recently added Acrobat to the name of Adobe Reader so the confusion about which product you had and/or have is understandable.

How to embed a mp4 video into a pdf with acrobat pro XI?

I'm trying to embed a mp4 video into a pdf using Acrobat Pro XI. When I try to play the video, all I see is a black box. The video is H.264 codec. I've tried on a PC and Mac and get the same results.

Video playback in the Acrobat Family uses Flash Player, so if it works in FP (loaded via an HTML page) then it should work in your PDF. First suggestion is to use the free MediaInfo tool to check exactly what the internal structure reports as.

Please advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.

Hello,
Where is the button animation in Acrobat Pro DC?
Can you give me advice on adding 3D-animation files into a PDF with Acrobat Pro DC.
I have Acrobat PRO DC .
Thank you.

Hi George,
I just tried adding the files as attachments; however I didn't like doing that because it increased the file size of my PDF document quite a bit.
I'm not sure if you're familiar with the "Insert Object" command in MS Word, but I want to do the same thing in my PDF document...but the key is, anyone must to be able to open the embedded file from any location.
I created an MS Word document with several embedded objects. I was later asked to PDF the Word document, but since embedded MS Word objects do not migrate to the PDF, I am now trying to embed the same files I embedded into my Word document into my PDF document over top of the icon image. The file types I'm trying to embed include MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Adobe PDF. Does this make more sense? I want to create a hyperlink over top the icon image that was PDF'd from the MS Word document which allows any user to click on the link and open the separate file.

How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

How do you convert an Autocad drawing into a pdf with Acrobat X Standard?

Something to try -
Having installed Acrobat Standard you have the Adobe PDF virtual printer installed.
From your authoring application do a "file-print" and select the Adobe PDF printer rather than the attached local or network printer / plotter.
Be well...

And the degree of effective editing may be an issue. Editing is not a recommended task in Acrobat, but instead edit in the original doc and recreate the PDF.

Converting ms publisher 2007 files to pdf in acrobat x pro

I really could use help with my project. I have a publisher 2007 file which I converted to pdf in Acrobat x pro. The links won't work. There are 4 links. 2 to external web sites and 2 are email links. I tried setting the links in publisher then converting. That didn't workl. I tried removing the links then converting and adding the links in Acrobat. They don't work either after I publish them to my web site. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks.

Could you post the link you mention? How did you create the PDF from Publisher -- there are several ways and some save the links and some don't. Also, some are MS methods and others are Adobe methods.

Reducing size of a PDF using Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello, I want to reduce the file size of a large number of pdfs which will be available for download on a website I'm building. These pdfs were created a few years ago and in most cases the fonts were converted to outlines. I want to reduce the size of the pdfs using Acrobat 9 Pro. I tried one and the size went from 2.3 Mb down to 156 Kb when I saved as an Acrobat 7. Will these be able to be viewed by anyone using Acrobat Reader. The end users will only be viewing and reading the pdfs. Thanks in advance for any responses.

If you are familar with the PDF Optimizer and how to go to it, open PDF Optimizer.
First images for a website should never be more than 150dpi.
Go to images and set, for DPI 150 for color images Grayscale and Monochrome.
Next open fonts in optimizer and look for duplicate fonts.
example:
Ariel
Ariel Bold
Ariel Bold
Ariel Italic
Courier New Bold
remove the duplicate Ariel Bold.
Many times there are 5-10 instances or more of the same Font/Font style.
Remove all duplicates.
Save as a new file you never want to save over your original in case what you end up with doesn't turn out.

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Thx for your help, Bruce

When I print to PDF using Acrobat 11 Pro from any application the acrobat Reader does not launch automatically. Associations are correct. Happens from Chrome, IE, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. Previously had deskPDF installed but uninstalled correctly. Can't find a preference setting for the auto launch. Thx for your help, Bruce

A simple way is to flatten the form fields, which converts the field appearances to regular page contents. You can do this with JavaScript or PDF Optimizer (Advanced > PDF Optimizer > Discard Objects > Flatten form fields). A very nice script that adds a custom menu item can be found here: http://www.uvsar.com/projects/acrobat/flattener/

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. How do I do that?

I want to import a MS Word Index into a .pdf file using Adobe Pro. It is for a book. The book has been converted to a .pdf for printing, but it needs an Index for the last page of the book. I tried to embed a new index (starting from scratch but no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time.

Now I want to search this "myArrayStrings.get(r)" in another file. How to do that?Store the returned String. Do the same thing you did to read the first file to read the second file (i.e. read it in line-by-line and store the lines in a list). Then check if that list contains the String you stored from the first list.
E.g. (using your code):
String name = myArrayStrings.get(r); // assuming r is initialized somewhere before this
if ( otherList.contains( name ) ) { // assuming otherList is your second list
// do something
}
