Failed conversion with merging PDF files

I am trying to merge 3 files together.
Each time I am trying to upload them, they fail with the conversion.
I know we are having a slow internet connection, but with other files it did work.
Also with another file I merged, it did not merge in the order I wanted it to merge. How could I fix this?
I hope someone can help me!

Hi Gerard,
What version of Acrobat are you using?
Is it updated to the latest patch?
Where are you trying to upload the files?
Which OS are you using?
Are you trying to create a pdf portfolio or a single pdf file of the 3 files?
Regards,
Rave

  • Problem in Merging PDF files

    Need to print batches of PDF.<br />The command copy *.PDF > LPT1: (redirected by NET USE) doesn't work.<br />On the printer I get an error message. All files are sent in one file.<br />.<br />I guess this is related to the PDF header which is not set correctly for the second PDF copied.<br />I mean, according to the PDF Reference guide, the proper syntax for a PDF file header is for the "%PDF-<version>" comment to be the first line of the PDF file. The recommended second line is a comment line with four binary characters to indicate the file contains binary information.<br />.<br />Acrobat requires only that the header appears somewhere within the first 1024 bytes of the file.<br />.<br />I guess the Rip is not able to convert PDF into PS before its interpretation as the second header exceeds 1024. Even the combined file has %%EOF before each PDF Header, this is probably not enough to merge them without problem.<br />.<br />Did you experience the same ?<br />Thanks for your comments.<br />Regards.<br />Franck

    You can build your own PDF merge utility using the PDF Merge and split libraries for .NET from from http://www.dotnet-reporting.com or http://www.winnovative-software.com .
    You can use it to merge PDF files, html files, text files and images,
    set the page orientation, compression level and page size.
    All this can be accomplished with only a few lines of code:
    PdfDocumentOptions pdfDocumentOptions = new PdfDocumentOptions();
    pdfDocumentOptions.PdfCompressionLevel = PDFCompressionLevel.Normal;
    pdfDocumentOptions.PdfPageSize = PdfPageSize.A4; pdfDocumentOptions.PdfPageOrientation = PDFPageOrientation.Portrait;
    PDFMerge pdfMerge = new PDFMerge(pdfDocumentOptions);
    pdfMerge.AppendPDFFile(pdfFilePath);
    pdfMerge.AppendImageFile(imageFilePath);
    pdfMerge.AppendTextFile(textFilePath);
    pdfMerge.AppendEmptyPage();
    pdfMerge.AppendHTMLFile(htmlFilePath);
    pdfMerge.SaveMergedPDFToFile(outFile);

    It would be great, if any one provide solution on this issue.
    Thanks,
    Irfan.

    One of the merged PDF was edited by using the "Adobe Lifecycle Assembler" tool and i was able to open that file successfully in my machine.
    Is bi publisher API compatible with such files?
    It would be great, if any one can throw some light on this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Problem with printing pdf file

    hello,
    lately i have problem with printing pdf file:
    i click on the print button and the respod is very slow
    it takes more than a minute till the print window apears.
    i tryied to install version X but it's the same, the problem exist only when printing via adobe reader,
    other programs i'd working much faster.
    please advice,
    thank you

    No, it is not set to overprint. Also, I have to add that the printing results were not consistent. Sometimes it covered and sometimes it did not.

  • How to merge pdf files into one pdf file?

    In E-Rec we need the capability to mass printing for correspondance. There i want to merge pdf files for candidates into one pdf file. I am doing the following:
    Data: lv_document1           TYPE rcf_s_cs_document_content.
    LOOP AT activity_object_tab INTO ls_activity_object.
        lo_act_corr ?= ls_activity_object-activity.
         CALL METHOD lo_act_corr->process_document
           EXPORTING
             channel  = 'FRONTEND'
           IMPORTING
             document = lv_document1.
      ENDLOOP.
    Now lv_document1 contains the pdf file in  lv_document1-DOCUMENT_X which is of type RAWSTRING.
    This works for one candidate, in this case the pdf for last candidate will be displayed.
    But how would i append in the loop or what would i need to do display all candidates in one pdf.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Whenever I place PDFs that were created by any other app besides indesign or Illustrator I get a 'failed to open the PDF file' error, previously these PDFs were fine to place but all of a sudden they're not... Help?
    I'm not too keen on opening in Illustrator and resaving for the rest of the foreseeable future either...

  • Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

    Good Morning,
    I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old.  Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged.  It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with.  I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there.  I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
    The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
    I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
    Thank You
    Brian Dougherty

    Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
    Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
    There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
    You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

  • Issue with opening PDF file link from Safari

    Hi Everyone,
    I got a problem with opening PDF file link from Safari 4.04. Instead of getting a normal pdf content, it shows some weird characters. Not sure it is something wrong with Adobe Reader Plugin or Safari?
    I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue in the adobe forum (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/531870). Please help!
    Many Thanks,
    John

    There's nothing wrong, except the fact that you have Adobe Reader installed. You don't need it, so get rid of it; it will only cause problems with Safari. What you're seeing is the contents of the PDF file, rather than having it displayed.
    If you want to download a PDF file, you can either Control-click on the link and choose "Download Linked File As…", or you can Option-click on the link for the file and it will be downloaded to your Download folder (usually your Desktop).
    If you want to view a PDF file in Safari, you don't need Adobe Reader; Safari is perfectly capable of doing this by itself and has been for years. Adobe Reader will only get in the way and slow everything down.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.
