Error when combining pdf's not able to save

I'm getting an error that "the document could not be save. There was a problem reading this document (21)", then "Insufficient data for image". It has never happened until the other day. I combine hundreds of PDF's a day at work and it just started doing it to two separate computers.

Most likely, one individual PDF has this problem.

Error when combining PDFs in Acrobat 4.0

My workstation is a bit of an older computer and it only has Acrobat 4.0 so I'm hoping people will remember enough about it to help me. I've been making several PDFs out of a large group of old Word Perfect documents and I need to combine them into a single PDF. It has been going well for the first 8 parts, but the 9th and 10th are giving me an error message. It says that "These documents contain subset fonts that have the same name and cannot be merged."
I'm hoping someone here will know what that means and will be able to advise me on how to solve this problem. Thanks.

I'll give that a try, thanks. It's a fairly old set of files I'm working on so it would be great if I can make this work for a single integrated PDF.
If you do have AA4.0, I would appreciate it if you would check that as well. The files are going to come out to around a 250 page document when I get them all assembled and I'm not sure exactly which fonts are causing the trouble yet.

Error when combining pdf docs to one doc

For the past two days I have tried to combine less than 12 pdf files into one PDF file (which I've done successfully just last week). Now I'm getting the following message:
"Your PDF conversion request failed. There was an unexpected problem while combining your files to a single PDF file.Please try again later."
I have tried fewer and fewer docs but am getting the same message.
Does anyone know if there's a problem with the website? Or how to fix the issue?
HELP!! Thanks

No, actually , it's a subscription to an online service and it can be accessed from ANY terminal that has an Internet connection, with or without Reader (https://www.acrobat.com/misc/en/system-requirements.html). I could use it at the Library, Kinko's printing, or at home, if I was signed up for it.
I have Acrobat Pro though, so I don't need it. Nevertheless, it's a service, NOT Reader software, and they have a forum to deal specifically with it, staffed by people who know how to use it. I don't.

Run time error when Combining PDF or WORD files

Good morning everyone
I have a client who is trying to merge two files either word or PDF files and every time she does this she is getting a run time error on the process.
the Machine is a Lenevo Desktop with Xp SP3 on the machine
Running Office 2007 with SP 3 now on the machine
Adobe Pro X with the latest and current updates Licnesed
I have done the repair on this unit several times as well as repair of the Office.
We can convert the Word files no problem but i get a an error on the merging of the files
has anyone seen this problem before?
what do i need to do to resolve this issue?

Operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium..
Version of Adobe Reader is 10.1.13.
Any thoughts on what the issue is?

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane. If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing. Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit. When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use. If they save as a different name, it works. Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane. They don't use the preview pane. I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save. But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
use it without problems.

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.

File conversion error when combining files

Hello,
I am using Adobe Create to combine several files (both word and pdf) into a single pdf document. I have done this several times in the past with no problems. However today it won't allow me to combine any documents which are already in pdf format. The system generates an error for each of these documents as: "Conversion Failed". I am clearly not trying to convert them, but rather to combine them... Any ideas?

Hi gina_hall_7848,
If you're combining both Word and PDF files into PDF, there is some conversion happening (with the Word docs, as they're converted into the combined PDF file). If you're getting the error when combining only PDF files--that's another story. It could be that one or more of the files that you're combining isn't in a supported format, or that Adobe PDF Pack is timing out before it can complete the conversion.
Does the error occur regardless of what files you try to combine?
Best,
Sara

Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro PC with Windows 7 - error mess "Adobe PDF Printer - not available" Help?

Just loaded my old Acrobat 7.0 Professional on new PC with Windows 7 - Error message "Adobe PDF Priner not available. Therefore do not have option of Adobe printer when using Word.
Any ideas as to what - if anythjing I can do?

Hi,
Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
Hope this helps.

Is there a Maximum file size limit when combining pdf files

I am trying to combine files 8 PDF files created with i Explore using Acrobat XI Standard, the process is completed but when opening the file not all 8 individual files have been combined only the first two have been combined, the process shows all eight being read and combined.
I can open and view each of the original 8 individual files and read the content without any issue, the largest of the eight files is 15,559kb and the smallest is 9,435kb
if anyone can assist that would be most appreciated

Hi Tayls450,
This should not have happened as there is no maximum file size limit when combining PDFs.
Please let me know if there are some password protected PDFs also?
Also, I would suggest you to choose 'Repair Acrobat Installation' option from the Help menu.

Sorting files when combining pdfs?

Ok, I'm not quite sure how adobe sorts files when combining pdfs, but it seems to be somehow different from MS XP. Anyway, what I want to do is combine a bunch of pdfs together which are labelled A 1, A 2, A 3... However, I'm finding that when sorting them by name in adobe to combine them in the right order that the 1's, 2's, and 3's get grouped together, where they are then not sorted numerically. For instance A 2 gets sorted with A 20 and A 200. Even when I use MS XP to rename (e.g. A (1), A (2)) or use Adobe to extract files from a pdf the files are named in such a way that this always happens. Anyway to get around this without manually sorting the files?
A better example of what happens:
A 1
A 10
A 11
A 12
A 13
A 14
A 15
A 16
A 17
A 18
A 19
A 100
A 2
A 20
A 21
A 22
A 23
A 24
A 25
and so on and so forth... where I would like
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
A 5...

Looks like a lexicographic ("dictionary" or "telephone book,") order and not numeric order. You could add leading zeros to have all the file names have the same length.

I am not able to save the pdf with filled data or related to reader extension

Hi,
I have designed a pdf with some text field controls. But i am not able to save the document when i fill some data into the pdf.
or whenever i save data it says that the pdf will be saved blank.
I know that this is the reader extension issue. How to i add this reader extension feature into it.
I know that reader extension can be
1. cached
2. A document can be made reader extended using adobe live cycle process.
3. also it can be embedded while designing the pdf.
Can any body let me know how do i incorporate reader extension feature while designing and at runtime too.
I know we have taken reader extension license but dont know how to use this reader extension feature.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
You indicate that you have a Reader Extensions license, did you also purchase Adobe LiveCycle Reader Extensions ES2? You would apply the license to your form using this server product.
You can also apply reader rights using Acrobat Standard v9 (or Acrobat Professional v8), but this has license restrictions - see EULA. Also the rights that are enabled using this route will not be as many when compared to LC Reader Extensions ES2.
I have a summary here:
http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/
Also have a look at the Adobe page:
http://www.adobe.com/products/livecycle/readerextensions/
Maybe talk to the Adobe sales in your region.
Good luck,
Niall

Not able to save bindings when calling bindings.getOperationBinding("update") in customized method.

Hi All,
I'm new to ADF and trying to learn it.
I'm using JDev version 11.1.1.6.0.
My use case is mention below :
1. I've created 2 Bounded task flows and calling one task flow from another task flow using task flow call activity.
2. In child task flow, i've created view activities with Train component. View activities have text fields, radios buttons, tables etc which can be filled by user.
3. I want to save the page data to payload if I move to next view activity using Next button or by train bar.
To accomplish this scenario, I'm calling a customized actionListener on click of Next button/Train Stop Bar in which I'm using below mention code :
BindingContext bindingContext = BindingContext.getCurrent();
BindingContainer bindings = bindingContext.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding obj = bindings.getOperationBinding("update");
if(obj != null){
     obj.execute();
     if(!obj.getErrors().isEmpty()){
          System.out.println("Not able to save data......");
     else{
          System.out.println("able to save data......");
But I'm not able to save page data to payload/bindings. If i close the window using browser close button and move back to previous train stop in which i've filled the data, the data get lost and all the text fields/Radio button become empty.
If I use Save button provided by Oracle BPM, then I'm able to save it. and data reflected even after if i close the window using browser close button.
So I also try to use the below acode but did not get any success :
FacesContext fctx = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = fctx.getApplication();
ELContext elContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext();
InvokeActionBean invokeActionBean = (InvokeActionBean)app.getELResolver().getValue(elContext, null, "invokeActionBean");
invokeActionBean.setAction(actionEvent);
invokeActionBean.action();
Can somebody please let me know, what am I doing wrong here or if I'm missing anything.
Any pointers/suggestions for its resolution are welcome.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Timo,
Yes, it is the same binding which is called from BPM Save button.
I did not use the debugger but i tried to print the OperationBinding object which was showing me proper binding for update.
Even when i tried to print the return value of invokeActionBean.action(); method, it print the proper string "closeTaskFlow".
So if I see it logically, then I'm just trying to call the methods of InvokeActionBean from my customized method.
If methods of InvokeActionBean not being accessed, or if it was not getting called, then it should not print the "closeTaskFlow" as return value.
I only want to save page data into bindings once I'll move away from page precisely on moving next.
If there is any other work around for this issue, please let me know.
I've also tried to use Explicit/Implicit save points provided by ADF but that did not work too.

End users are not able to save interactive pdf form created with designer

I am new to using LiveCycle Designer and have created a pdf form but my end users are not able to save edited form. Does this have something to do with whether the form is static or dynamic. If so, I am not exactly sure how to use the restorestate option to convert it back to static. I also tried to enable the "user rights access in adobe reader" under the advance menu and had no luck.
My end users have acrobat reader 9 - do I need them to download anything else, maybe professional.

Thanks Paul for your reponse
In my Adobe Pro I don't see the option Reader Extend rather I enabled "Enabled Usage Rights in Adobe Reader" amd I figured this was somewhat the same. So if I enabled this option in Adobe Pro already and they are still not able to edit the fillable text slots or save it what other option do I have in figuring this out.
