Combining multiple files causes crash

I am using acrobat pro 11.0.10 on Mac Yosemite latest version OS X. When I try to combine multiple pdf files with more than say 10 pages the program simply crashes when I try to save the binder that Acrobat creates - no warnings, no alerts. The pages I am trying to combine are actually from other pdf documents that are readable, usable etc. The creation of the binder doesn't appear to create any issues - it is only when I try to save it. I'm actually combining about 400 pages and started doing it in blocks of 100 pages or so, but am now down to blocks of 20 pages - so it is a but tedious doing only 20 pages at a time. Has anyone else had this problem?
thanks
John

Hi ,
I would like to know did you try the insert command instead of combine files command ?If not ,then try the following and compare the output and see if acrobat again crashes or not .
You could also try a repair of your Acrobat and see the results .
Let us know how it goes .

Hiding filenames when combining multiple files into a single .pdf

I'm fairly new to this Acrobat X. I'm trying to assemble my portfolio to distribute to employers but I cannot seem to get rid/hide the filenames in the final pdf file. I was using the option to 'combine multiple files into a single pdf' because I was compiling images and documents to a single readable pdf file. I got all that done but once I open it, I'd see that each page would still contain the original file names rather than page numbers - which I prefer not to have employers see for the sake of tidiness (and I refuse to use the Adobe portfolio because it's not really efficient on space or design. I prefer a simple page-by-page pdf). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to hide my file names, change them into page numbers or getting rid of them all together so the 'Table of Contents' in the pdf preview mode would not show anything, I would really much appreciate it.

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.

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files to into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "Error occurred while trying to access the file". WHY

I purchased the Adobe PDF Pack for $7.50/month (or $89.99/yr) but it won't allow me to convert any files to pdf or combine multiple files into 1 pdf form. It keeps saying "An error occurred while trying to access the service". WHY is this happening & How can I fix it?

Hi hpmg,
It seems you are trying to access the service via Adobe Reader. Make sure you are signed in with your Adobe ID. Is Reader updated to the latest patch v 11.0.09?
It might be possible that a firewall or antivirus might be breaking the connectivity from Reader to the server.
Try accessing the service from the browser: https://cloud.acrobat.com/exportpdf and check if that works for you.

Acrobat 7 freezes when combining multiple files

I'm running Acrobat 7 Standard, and whenever I attempt to combine multiple PDF files acrobat will freeze up completely. It can scan, and add pages to an open document with no trouble. It will freeze whether I choose Create PDF From Multiple Files within acrobat, or if I select multiple files in windows explorer, then right click and choose Combine in Acrobat...
I have cleared temporary files, repaired the program, and completely reinstalled the program. Even after a fresh reinstallation, it will lock up when trying to combine multiple files. It does everything else just fine.
I am running a HPCompaq dc5100 MT, with Windows XP Pro. I have 2GB ram, and a P4 3.2Ghz processor. I also have a database program called Laserfiche that I run, though this problem occurs whether I have Laserfiche open or not. I've already tried killing all acceptable processes (minus adobe's of course) and recreated the error. I've also tried this with the most recent update 7.1.0 and without: both yeild the same result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear all,
I think I have the same problem... or not ?!
=> When I try to open multiple files at the same time it opens only the 2 or 3 first ones then it freezes on the Spinning Beach Ball of Death !
=> Then it never completely finishes loading and freezes up Indesign.
=> I am unable to cancel the dialog box and have to use cmd+alt+esc to close the program
=> then, the files open directly on indesign when I open the program again (jus as if the files had been loaded and ready to go)
I am working on MAC OS X (10.7.3)
Anybody could help please ?? (sorry for my english... I'm a French native speaker)

Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

Assuming the scans are all PDFs, here is one easy way:
Open the first PDF in Preview.
Duplicate (File > Duplicate) if you want to preserve the original.
Choose View > Contact Sheet.
Drag and drop the other files from the Finder into the Contact Sheet window. You can select the files one at a time or multiple files at once.
Arrange the contact sheet icons in the desired order.
Save.

Combining Multiple Files within Adobe 8 Professional to create one PDF

The software does not allow me to combine multiple file types to create one PDF. The error I get is Missing PDFMaker files. Do you want to run the installer in repair mode. It appears to go through the motion, but the end result is the same error message. I have noticed a number of people are also having this issue on the internet and on the Adobe forums. Did anyone find a fix for this? I have searched for days and have not found a fix for this.
Thanks,
Millie

If I go to file print the word document to PDF, it works fine. I also noticed when tried to do a right click on the files to convert to PDF, I get the Missing PDFMaker file message.
Windows XP SP2
Office 2007 SP1
Adobe Professional 8.0

How to combine multiple files in CS6

I am trying to combine multiple files-- book chapters-- into a single editable document in CS6. Tutorials apprea outdated

following on from Sandee Cohen's post no.18, the location of the script has moved to:
http://www.simonwiscombe.com/indesign-merging-all-files/
and it is worth noting that the script initially merged files that were all 1pp long each.
Simon did make a modification to it later on in the article so that the script would merge files of all lengths, but when I ran the script, it produced an error to do with line 18. The line:
var sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog(“Select a folder with source InDesign files.”);
needs to be replaced with
var sourceFolder = Folder.selectDialog('Select a folder with source InDesign files.');
(double quotes were swapped out for single quotes)
I have only tested the script with varying page lengths with minimal objects on the pages to determine if the files merged. So far so good. The earlier version that merged 1pp files only would fail if fonts/links were missing as any dialog box upon opening seems to interfere with the script. I feel that the newer script will do the same thing.
I know this is an older thread but given I just had the same experience, I thought the revised script would help a few people.

Error when Combining Multiple File Types

I can't combine multiple file types into one pdf, e.g. .docx and .xlsx files. The combine feature only seems to be working to combine .pdf and .jpg file types. An error message stating the below appears. Does anyone have a solution?
Thank you.

no i can't seem to do that either. the only way I have found to get around it. It's long winded... i export the jpgs from Indesign CS4, then take the jpgs into photoshop CS4 and baiscally resave over the top the of the original jpg without changing any settings, this will then let me combine them in Acrobat Pro 9. for now i will be doing it that way but if anyone knows of another way that would be great.

Editing text in Photoshop CS3 file causes crash. File originally created in Photoshop CS6

Trying to edit text in Photoshop CS3 file causes a crash - Tried on multiple PC's
File originally created in Photoshop CS6 with "Maximise PSD/PSB File Compatibility" set at "Always".
Document size A4, using Arial Regular. RGB. 8Bits. 72dpi
Colour Profile: sRGB IEC61966
Multi business licence for CS3 and CS6 Design Standard/Premium/Master Collection all on PC
Please Help!

Interestingly I have found that if I modify a document in CS6 from an earlier CS3-CS5 document and save it - it works fine. But if I create a new document in CS6 the issue persists.
Looks like I will be modifying old documents for the time being
Would be grateful for some advise eon this.

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.

How to Combine multiple files into the one file?

Hi all,
How do I combine multiple canon hf10 avchd files into the one file with a new extension. No need to be compressed.
Afterwards, I also want to split this combined file to original files.
Need Help!

Yes, angelanna. You can merge or split your video file via FCP sequence.
ahaah, maybe I think angelanna would like to get the resulting file with MTS format because he mentioned “No need to be compressed”. Are you asking for this, angelanna?
If so, a simple MTS files managing and editing tool is needed. Maybe you can have a try the Mac version of Aunsoft Final Mate for managing HD camcorder footages. I just downloaded its free trial version and it offers a simple way of garping footages directly from camcorder. And also it provides a attractive feature to join flawlessly and split accurately native MTS files for video file output with original MTS format.
Maybe this is the tool cwhich an help you out, angelanna.
Enjoy your video.

Office 2010 - Opening Network Files causes crashes

Our users documents are mapped to network storage via a Home folder location. Our treasurer has began encountering an issue with Office 2010 with Word (this is where I've been putting most of my effort) and Excel, other programs not tested.
Upon going to 'File->Open' it automatically redirects to his Home folder on the Network drive, and Office goes through it's various stages of crashing (encountered an issue, etc.) I've copied the contents of one specific folder he does most of his work in
to his desktop, but this is not optimal. Opening the contents from the desktop yields no issue.
As far as troubleshooting goes, I first tried doing a repair, then reinstall, and finally an advanced uninstall with Revo figuring it may be a corrupted registry key. None of this worked. I Googled some info on it and found add-ons commonly caused an issue.
I went as far as recommended by a MS support article, ultimately removing both the entire add-ins folder in Program files and in the registry. Still an issue. I progressed through various other support articles, removing various further keys (settings, toolbars,
etc.) Still occurring. I landed upon a technet article with nearly an exact issue, and it recommended updating as MS had fixed this various issue. (duh!) Update-wise, it was pretty far behind because all of our updates are signed through SCCM, regardless,
I have it fully updated up to Office Service pack 2. It's doing selective startups through msconfig as well, down to only Microsoft services. Finally, I've tried sfc /scannow, as well as safe mode, and neither had promising results (it was the first time I
was really hoping for sfc to find an error!
Just for further reference, I've tried all fixes in this article (before realizing it was only on network docs.) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/921541/en-us

Combining Multiple Files Into One PDF

When I try to combine MS Word or PDF files, I receive an unexpected error occurred please try again later message. How do I combine the files?

Hi Fishcpa,
I apologize for the inconvenience. I think you were taking correct steps to combine those Word and PDF files, but it seems that the process encoutered either a time out or the server was busy. Please try again and let us know if you still have the same issue.
FYI how to combine files:
1. Login to https://createpdf.acrobat.com/signin.html with your Adobe ID and password
2. Select "Combine Files" tool from right pane
3. Click "Select Files" then select all files that you like to combine(up to 12 files)
4. Name the combined file and click "Combine" button
5. Click "Download" from progress bar
6. You can view the combined PDF file in Reader on your desktop
Thank you.

After updateting to 9.3 specific files causing crash when print starts

After updating to 9.3 some files, not all, are no more possible to print without crashing acrobat.
One example you can find here:
http//europe/giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_ga_ep45_ds3(r)_de.pdf
Error:
arobat.exe 9.3.0.148 with modul ssgs1.dll version 03.0.0 at address 0x00012ea9
(ssgs1 belongs to Samsung printer ML1210)
With 9.2, one week ago, there was no problem.
If I start printing the copmplete file(a couple of pages) the printer starts printing and prints the whole file, but after a couple of seconds acrobat crashes.
Theb print will NOT be stopped, the file will be printed cpompletly with ALL pages.
If I try to print separate and single pages, the FIRST page can be printed without crash.
Any other page will crash acrobat immediatly.
I sepate this error page (take out 1 page) to get a separate pdf file will cause the same problem.
If I copy this page to Word and then save from there as pdf - no error.
Print "as picture" also no problem.
Export to pdf/A (whatever this is) will cause the same problem
Save as ...pdf - same problem
Save as optimized -same problem
Software: "Advanced pdf Repair" will not repair this
This problem was not be be seen with elder version 9.2 last week
This does not happen with ALL pdf files
System: XP SP3
Action taken:
Repair acrobat
Reinstall printer driver

I had to rebuild the thumbnails after the first try, and so on the second try, it cleared up the distortion. However, the photos then had the rotation and out of sequence issue. I certainly can try again. You previously mentioned that it make a few times.
As for the view, they are sorted by date. It is really strange since it is only the photos at the very beginining. These are photos where I had to manually enter the date when adding them to the libary. I wonder if that has anything to do with.
I really appreciate your time and advice. This is pretty unusual for me. I have been using macs since 2004 and never has a software upgrade thrown me for such a loop.
Thanks again.
