Could LR3 Include Ability to Combine Files?

Can't get the whole request in the subject. Actually, it's 2 things that I do with many of my photos destined to be printed for sale. On larger photos, I hand-sign and print file information along the bottom edge, but when I print smaller copies (8x10, 5x7), I prefer to simply combine a digital copy of my signature and the text. I have a file that contains my signature, so if I could bring it into Lightroom and add it as a positionable and sizable object, maybe at export, that would make (my) life so much easier!
Along the same lines, but perhaps more technically feasible, I'd like to be able to add text to a file before it's exported or printed. A couple of examples: I always include file name, title and date of photo on the bottom edge (where it stays hidden under a mat) on my prints, and all this information is kept in Lightroom already -- couldn't there be an option to add it, almost like a copyright watermark? The other example is if I'm printing greeting cards -- for some I'd like to be able to create a caption on the front. Well, if I'm wishing, I'd also like to include text on the back side (printed at the same time as the front), and the ability to flip the card stock over and print a greeting or phrase on the inside .. and do that with a different printer. Well, that last is probably not much of an improvement to simply using a text file in a word processing program, but it sure would be nice to be able to print on the back (Title, location, my name, my web site) at one pass.

This can also be caused if the files are in a folder deep in the file system. For example C:/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy/zzzzzzz/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa/bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb /cccccccccccccccccccc/dddddddddddddddd/eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee/ffffffff/ggggggg/hhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhh/myPDF.pdf
At some point Adobe PDFMaker cannot handle the path length (also, Windows can't handle the path length either eventually)
Solution: move the files to a shorther path (perhaps the desktop) and try from there.
I am filing a bug report with Adobe. A descriptive exception message should be thrown instead of "could not file the app.."

Combine Files No Dialogue Box

I'm on a Mac OS X 10.7.5. Tried the Trial version of Acrobat XI Pro and had no problems combining PDF files. I purchased the software at the end of the trial period and suddenly lost the ability to combine files. When I click the link to combine files the "Combine Files Dialog Box" does not open as it did during the trial period. Instead, I can detect a small vertical line appear in the center of my screen shrouded in a mysterious grayish cloud like some artifact in lieu of a dialogue box. I contacted Adobe Chat for support and was first instructed to download the latest update. Then, I was directed to install an Adobe Cleaning program and hit the tab for Clean "All". When this did not resolve the issue I was then instructed to uninstall Adobe Acrobat xi and reinstall. The problem, however, persists. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Open PDF not auto included when combining files in Acrobat X

If I have a PDF open in Acrobat X and I click Create -> Combine files into a single PDF, the PDF that is open is not automatically included in the list of files to combine in the Combine Files window. I need to click the Add Files drop-down and then click Add Open Files to include it. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn this functionality on by default? It was the default action in previous versions of Acrobat if I remember correctly.
Thanks!
Dennis

Thanks Dave. I wish there was a setting for this, as 99% of the time, I need the file that is open to be included in the combine. But the majority wins

Acrobat XI Pro combine files window not visible

So I was trying to combine files into one pdf this morning, but Acrobat's window for doing so would not appear. I could minimize it, and see it down on the bottom of my dock, but when I tried to maximize it, it would disappear. (I'm on a Mac). Everything else on the app was working perfectly. I:
-checked all preferences
-tried to re-arrange window configurations
-made sure my 2nd monitor was up as it might have been last time I used the program
-opened pdfs and then tried to combine them
-quit and re-opened the application several times
-tried again to access the 'combine' window from every angle I could
-rebooted, then went through it all again
-went to adobe to check for updates. Application manager says Acrobat XI is up to date. Won't let me do anything.
So, I decided to uninstall it so I could start fresh and re-install. Uninstalled, went back to the Cloud. App manager says Acrobat XI is up to date, and still won't let me download or anything else.
Rebooted. Went back to the Cloud. Same thing again.
I would very much like to be able to use this app. I have things to do...

I figured out how to recreate the preferences and it fixed the problem. Here is how I did it:
Quit Acrobat
In Finder hold down "option" and open the "Go" menu. Pick "Library"
Open "Preferences" folder
Drag "com.adobe.Acrobat.Pro.plist" to your desk top
Reopen Acrobat and try to merge 2 files
If it works you have solved your problem. Acrobat will replace the missing file with the default.
If it doesn't work you can drag the original folder back into "preferences" and keep trying to figure out what was wrong.
Part of the answer was in the Acrobat workspace instruction.

Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on. I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it. When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

I cannot open Pages documents that I have worked on and saved. When I try to reopen Pages documents that I've saved, I get the following
message:
"The document “[name of document]” could not be opened. The file isn’t in the correct format.
The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Best regards,
New York Mac User

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Barry

How do I avoid error message when saving combined files?

I combined about 350 .pdf files into a single .pdf file using Acrobat 8 Pro. Total file size is about 3.5GB. I can assemble them in a correct order but saving them results in the following error message: "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occured."
I tried doing a "Save As" with no luck. However, I was able to save about half the files (1.6GB) with no problem as a separate combine process. I suspect it's a file size problem. Is there a file size limit? More important, is there a solution/work around?

Thank's tyr67. I'm using Vista. My work-around will probably require me to
break the file in two parts. Not a great solution, but on that will allow
me to move forward.
Thank you for responding.

IPhoto9: "library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."

Can please anyone help me with this issue.
After upgrading from iPhoto8 to iPhoto9 my library won't open anymore. I have stored all my pictures on a NAS (Buffalo Link Station Duo). It all worked fine but since upgrading to iPhoto9 I do have the following problem:
When opening iPhoto I receive a message that the library needs to be updated. I assume that iPhoto should just do this sort of automatically in order to upgrade to iPhoto9.However, next message I receive then is
"The library could not be opened because the file system of the library's volume is unsupported."
Apple support so far does not seem to be able to solve my issue. Anyone else having had the same issue and having a solution to this?
Thanks a lot for your help.

There is no solution.
IPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.While you have been lucky to date, many folks with a library on a NAS found that it worked for a while and then the problems started.
Workaround: Put the Library on a Disk Image formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and store that on the NAS. But the real solution is to use a properly formatted disk for the Library.

Operation could not be completed because "whatever file i'm copying" is in use

Ever since upgrading my 2012 Mac Air to Mavericks, I've been seeing this error message sporadically when copying files to my SMB share on my raspberrypi.
I'm not sure if it's just coincidence with the os upgrade, and I'm not sure how to consistently reproduce the problem.
"Operation could not be completed because "whatever file I'm copying" is in use".
It doesn't seem to matter if I'm copying one file or a bunch of files. Randomly, that message will pop up, and then the copy will stop.

I've restarted the mac quite a few times, with and without the reopen option checked. Made sure the first thing to do was to copy those files to the other server. The only thing that could be using the files, would be Finder itself. It seems like when I have a list of files to copy, the message will pop up somewhere in the middle of the list. All the files previous to the error have been copied correctly. All files including the one in the error message and after it, don't get copied.
If the first or only file is particularly large, the error may pop up. When the message does pop up, it is always after a few minutes of copying, never right away.
Never had this problem prior to the Mavericks upgrade.

The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred

Hello,
I have scanned PDF files varying in size from < 1,000 pages to > 5,000 pages. I seem to experience this issue on and off on various files regardless of the size. The issue is when I OCR the pdf using Adobe Acrobat X Pro, when it's completed the OCR process and I go to save it errors out with: "The document could not be saved. A file I/O error has occurred"
I have tried:
1. Saving to local hard drive
2. Saving to network drive
3. Renaming file and repeating steps 1&2
4. File/Save as and reducing (but it won't allow me to do so without saving first, lol)
Any thoughts? Thanks so much.

How to Combine Files in Acrobat XI Standard?

I see that you can combine files in XI Standard. But can you right click on multiple files and hit "Combine files in acrobat"? Or do you have to open one file, then search for the others, and combine them that way.
That's how it works with XI Pro that i downloaded for a trial. But i have Windows 7 64 bit, and that has made my old Acrobat 8 do some weird things, including taking away the choice of right clicking to combine.
Can someone please tell me if this works? Thanks!

It might with AA8 if you have installed the updates. Without the updates AA8 may not work correctly. A few have reported it works for them on Win 7, 64-bit. But you are the first I have heard asking about combining files.
Are the files PDFs or something else. It may be if they are MS OFFICE files, then your AA8 is not compatible with the MS OFFICE you have for this function to work.

How to include more than 12 files in a new PDF document?

I have a Adobe PDF Pack, and when I click on crating a new PDF document, they say that I cannot combine more than 12 files...!
And I want to have a document of hundreds of pages!
Someone can help me?
Pleeeeaaase!!!!!!

Hi Hisami,
Thank you very, very much!
It is very useful what you explain.
One only question, since I have the trying version of Acrobat Pro: how many files can you combine at the time with it?
May be it depends on the files size.
I tried yesterday to combine 50 files at the time and it just blocked everything...
Thanks a lot!
Have a very good day.

created by H.Spector in Adobe PDF Pack (formerly CreatePDF) - View the full discussion
To combine more than 12 files into a single PDF file:
1. Combine file 1 to file 12 then name it (combined 1 for example)
2. Combine file 13 to file 24 then name it (combined 2 for example)
3. Keep doing those steps #1 and #2 then combine "combined 1, Combine 2.....Combine 12).
Another way is to use Adobe Acrobat. Please download Acrobat XI Pro Trial version from www.adobe.com or you can upgrade your subscription to Acrobat Plus(please see more information about Acrobat Plus subscription at https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html?trackingid=JPZKR).
In Acrobat XI Pro:
1. Launch Acrobat
2. Select "File" menu > Create > Combine Files into a Single PDF
3. Click "Add Files" button at top left corner
4. After adding your files click "Combine" button at the bottom of the dialog.
Thank you
Hisami

Possibility to execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP?

Good day.
Presently, a company uses Acrobat Pro to manually combine files such as *.pdf, *.jpg, *.doc, which have been downloaded from SAP's Document Management System, into one pdf file. I would like to know if it is possible to automatically execute Acrobat Pro's "Combine files into PDF" function from within SAP (ECC 6.0) application system. I'm wondering if this could be achieved from a program via OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) or RFC (remote function call).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts and inputs.

Yes, you can combine PDF files via IAC/COM methods.

How to include a Plugin (dll file) in a program

How would I go about utilizing a plugin in my program. By this I mean...lets say that there is an online program for which you have to install the plugin onto your computer in order to use the program. How could I include that plugin into a program that can be used offline, or placed into an online applet, so that other people dont have to download that plugin.
Basically...I want to know how to put a plugin into my program so that no one else has to download it. Instead they just use the program, which includes the plugin.
And just so you all know, the plugin is a *.dll file. Could I just put it in an online folder, and cal to it when it is needed??
Thanks in advance.

I apologize, but I am confused because I am not that good at this. How would I refer to it? I do not know how to write a java function so that it will call a .dll file. Also, Im not quite sure what to do when I do call it. Here is specifically what I am trying to do. The plugin that I am trying to use is a download plugin. It is used because some people use a program to upload/protect their files, and the only way to download the files is to use the plugin or the program. The thing that I am confused about is how I use the plugin in my program so that the website I want to download from sees that I have the plugin and allows me to download the files I want by using the plugin which I have stored online. Im sure that the website that I am downloading from checks to see if I have the plugin installed, so how do I make it look at the one that I have online and not search for it on my computer??? PLEASE HELP ME!!! i know that people do things like this all the time, but I am new and need a lot of help.
