Converting multiple msft files into one pdf

HELP - i am using adobe acrobat 9 pro for macs (Mac OS X 10.6.3). when we had a pc, we were able to convert multiple files (microsoft office) to a single pdf at once without first converting them all to pdf. when I attempt this using the same technique, the images for all documents other than pdf files are greyed out and it seems that word/office documents are not a supported format for the conversion of multiple files (not listed in drop down menu) into one pdf.
I would greatly appreciate help with this. we are business users who are new to macs. we need to do a lot of this and are getting so frustrated. Thanks in advance!

  • Setting Font for converting multiple text files into PDF using VB 6.0

    Dear All,
    Am converting multiple text files into PDF using VB6.0. Currently, am unable to control the font face and size for the generated files. Below is the procedure am using for each file;
    Public Sub proc_convert_to_PDF(srcFilename As String, destFilename As String)
    Dim p_AcroApp As CAcroApp
    Dim p_VDoc As CAcroAVDoc
    Dim p_DDoc As CAcroPDDoc
    Dim IsOk As Boolean
    Set p_AcroApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")
    Set p_VDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc")
    Call p_VDoc.Open(srcFilename, "")
    Set p_VDoc = p_AcroApp.GetActiveDoc
    If p_VDoc.IsValid Then
    Set p_DDoc = p_VDoc.GetPDDoc
    ' Fill in pdf properties.
    p_DDoc.SetInfo "Title", Format(Date, "dd-mm-yyy")
    p_DDoc.SetInfo "Subject", srcFilename
    If p_DDoc.Save(1 Or 4 Or 32, destFilename) <> True Then
    MsgBox "Failed to save " & srcFilename
    End If
    p_DDoc.Close
    End If
    'Close the PDF
    p_VDoc.Close True
    p_AcroApp.Exit
    'Clear Variables
    Set p_DDoc = Nothing
    Set p_VDoc = Nothing
    Set p_AcroApp = Nothing
    End Sub
    What I need;
    1) to be able to set the font face of the destination file ( destFilename)
    2) to be able to set the font size of the destination file ( destFilename)
    Am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Type Library
    Kindly Help.
    Thanks in advance

    We didn't say it doesn't work. We said it isn't supported.
    There are a number of other ways to make a PDF. The one which would
    give the most control is if your application directly printed to GDI,
    controlling the font directly. This could print to Adobe PDF.
    You could look for an application that gives control of font for
    printing.
    You could use a text-to-PostScript system and distill the result. You
    could even look for a non-Adobe text-to-PDF.
    Working in the unsupported and dangerous world you chose, the font
    size for text conversion is set (and this is very bad design from
    Adobe) in the settings for Create PDF > From Web Page. There is no API
    to this.

  • Error Message When Merging Multiple PDF Files into One PDF File

    Good Morning,
    I have a problem with Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro. I am trying to merge/combine multiple PDF files into one PDF file, but I keep receiving this error message:
    Does anyone have a fix for this? Thank you!

    To fix:
    Provide a unique name for each form field. This includes the individual PDFs fields. As you intend to combine/merge no field name in each of the individual PDFs can be the same.
    Be well...

  • Converting Multiple .EPS files into .PDF

    Dear Forum:  We have tried converting multiple .eps files into PDF using article 325977. This article in Adobe help is really designed to convert .ai files into either .eps or.pdf, our situation is to convert multiple .eps files into PDF. Everytime we run the macro, it simply takes the eps file and saves it as another eps file and does not convert. We have a "Save As" step that we have in the macro that is set to "Save As" PDF, but it still does not work. What are we doing wrong?

  • How to merge multiple files into one pdf

    I would like help with this task. If I could do this for free I woul actually be more likely to follow advice. Many thanks

    Hi Lauravill,
    The free Adobe Reader cannot help you with the merging job. If you have Acrobat Reader then you can merge files into one pdf with the following steps-
    Within Acrobat XI, select File > Create > Combine Files into a Single 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.
    Let us know if you face any problemwith this or need extra support.
    Thanks

  • "In Adobe Standard, when combining files into one pdf, how do I keep the original date"?

    I converted multiple emails into a pdf file.  After opening the pdf file, I wanted to combine the files into one pdf however once combining the files, the date modified of the files changes to the current date.  How do I preserve the original dates of the emails when combining the files?

    Thank You for posting on the forums. Apparently there is no such feature that would help you to achieve this.

  • Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page?

    Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page? For example: scanned newspaper article was too big for one scan process, I had to scan article 3 times. Can I merge these 3 jpegs and position them like columns?

    Do you have Acrobat? If so, you can use the Add Image tool to place your images on the page where you want them to be. Alternatively, you can combine all 3 to a single PDF and then send that PDF to the PDF Printer, selecting the Multiple option to get them to appear on a single page of the new file.

    How do I convert an ASP file into a PDF?

    None of the free Adobe Reader products (Adobe Reader Touch, Adobe Reader for iOS/Android, Adobe Reader XI for desktop) provide the support for converting ASP to PDF.

  • I am having issues converting my word file into a pdf.

    I am having issues converting my word file into a pdf. When I attempt the conversion the pdf download has text boxes overlapping each other. The word file does not have overlapping text boxes. I believe it is the margins of my word file but I am not certain. How can I accurately edit my word file then convert it into a pdf without the overlapping issue occuring?

    Hi,
    Please send me your Word file so that I can look into the issue using below:

  • Joining multiple mp3 files into one

    Hi all,
    I am very puzzled as to how to merge multiple mp3 files into one, to upload to Mixcloud. Now, I do have the "Join Together" script and it worked like a charm a few times but now it just freezes and there's nothing I can do.
    Any ideas? Is there any DJ software, other than Nicecast, that could merge the files?
    Any help will be much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Fronzenfields,
    A lot of folks preparing mixes for Mixcloud use Audacity.  It is a free audio editor, and has both Mac and Windows versions. 
    Besides joining tracks, it will also let you do crossfades, volume adjustments and other typical audo editing functions necesary to create a good quality mix.
    Editing in Audacity does not modify the original tracks.  You import the tracks into Audacity, do the edits, and  then export a single MP3.
