How to combine two PDF files without consolidating form fields

I have two PDF documents with form fields in each. Someone else created the documents. Certain fields were untitled and thus were given names as "undefined" in each document. However, some of those fields contain different information in each document. When i combine the document, these fields mix and incorrect information gets put into certain fields.
For example, there is a blank field in doc A, titled "undefined." In doc B, there is a field with "johnson" titled "undefined." When I combine them, "johnson" appears in the blank field.
Is there a way to combine the documents without combined fields?

Is this the correct window I should see? I hit start and it said it was completed, but nothing seemed to happen.

Can I combine two pdf files by using command lines?

Hi
I always need to combine two pdf files into one in my regular work
Currently, I open one of them, press ctrl+shift+I,
find another file and double click it.
It works but not so efficient since I need to do
this procedure many times everyday
So I'm looking for a better solution
Something like command lines,
for example:
acrobat.exe "combine" "doc1.pdf" "doc2.pdf"
Does acrobat have these functions or not?
Thx &
Best Regards

How to compress a pdf file without quality loss

How to compress a pdf file without quality loss? Please help....

With the way you worded the question, your only option is to zip (or equivalent) the PDF. There are options in terms of graphic compression (this is generally a loss of quality in reducing the pixels) and nonstorage of fonts (likely making the file unreadable to some). So there are techniques, but with a tradeoff. It all depends on what you mean by loss of quality.
The other techniques that do not lose quality, but give up on some functionality are to remove links, bookmarks, and tags. The tags are often necessary only for converting a PDF back to another form and maintaining accessibility - important in some business situations. These are all tradeoffs that give something up.

How to attach a PDF file TO the form so that recipients can access the file as a resource?

Sorry we do not support this. What you can do though is add a Formatted Text element and add a link to a PDF. To insert a link add some text, select the text and right click on the text (or look under the Insert menu in the top right of the scene)

Can I do this in Preview?
Thanks.

You can't do in Preview.

How to combine 2 pdf files into a 1 page document?

Hello
How do you combine 2 pdf files to become a one page pdf?
Thank you.

Thank you very much. With a little manipulation it worked. Racked my brain for hours today!

I need help with combining two pdf files together but it won't let me in the latest Acrobat DC?

Hi,
I had two ai files, 11 by 17 on separate pages, and made them into pdf's. When I combine the files, it will let one out of the two files go through. The funny thing is that it will let the larger file go through than the smaller file. The file that went through had been in ai, dropped it into photoshop and put it back into ai again. The file that won't go through is a quote with different text. What should I do? What does pdf/a, pdf/x, pdf/e and preflight mean?
Thank you

Make sure neither of the PDF have been secured in some manner like password protection, form rights or forms distribution.
Forms created with live cycle cannot be combined by Acrobat.

How can I overwrite PDF files without saving in a new location?

Hi,
I have recently purchased Acrobat X.
Everytime I make an edit to a pdf file, I cannot overwrite the old version. I keep getting an error message saying that another user has the document open, and am forced to save with a new name or in a new location.
Can anyone help me to fix this? I deal with 100s of PDF files in a day and re-saving in a different location or renaming with every change is a real time-consuming hassle.
Thanks!

Hi inasravanim and Gilad D (try67)
Sorry to hikack the thread....but I have the same issue.
Windows 7, saving to network drive. If I overwrite the pdf on the desktop it does so fine. However, not on the network drive. The user has full control permissions on the network drive. So at a loss as to why this is happening. It only happens with PDF files too (as have tried other file formats with no issues).
Don't think it is a Acrobat problem - this was happening on Acrobat X and now on Acrobat XI. But again shouldn't be a permissions issue either...??
Any ideas?

How to set default .PDF file extension for Form Downloads

I am trying to find a way of setting the PDF file extension when I download forms.
I author the forms under a Plus subscription and am then downloading the forms under a basic subscription Collaborator account (diffrent person)
If I don't include .pdf as the file type when downloading a form with a unique name as the Collaborator, it downloads without a file extension.
Remembering to continually add the pdf file extension is a pain so I'm hoping there is away of setting this as a defaulet for my 'collaborator' account ?

Firstly, apologies for multiple posts, I received messages saying my comment hadn't posted and also checked my history before re-submitting.
Okay, the process is
1. Log in as the Author account and I can rename the file without having to set the extension
2. Log in as the Collaboartor account - same PC, browser etc and it doesn't save with a default file extension; HOWEVER, I have done this whilst also being logged in on a diffrent browser as the Author
3 I have just tried logging out as Author and only being in as the collaborator and the form downloaded with a default PDF.
4. I had someone else log in as the collaborator from thei PC and browser whilst I was still signed inunder my author account and again they were unable to save as PDF by default
This has me wondering if there is anything at play when you've got multiple Users?

How to store a pdf file in a table field.

Hi,
I need to store the file in a table field..How we can do this.The file format is pdf..I stored this in application server also..

during my tries to adapt this code to my needs, following error occured during compilation of the procedure:
PLS-00201: identifier 'IMAGES.MIME_TYPE' must be declared
here is my procedure:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE load_file( file_name VARCHAR2 )
AS file_lob BFILE;
binary_lob BLOB;
mime_type images.mime_type%TYPE;
extension_pos NUMBER;
BEGIN
--Use the extension of the file name to determing the MIME-type
--The MIME-type for a .pdf file will be application/pdf
extension_pos := INSTR( file_name, '.' );
mime_type := 'application/' || SUBSTR( file_name,extension_pos + 1,LENGTH( file_name ) );
-- Insert a new row into the images table. Get the LOB locator
-- for the newly inserted row
-- we will be using that to insert
-- the content from the file.
INSERT INTO TESTBLOB( blobid, filename, mime_type, content )
VALUES( 1, file_name, mime_type, EMPTY_BLOB() )
RETURNING content INTO binary_lob;
-- Open up the file in the IMAGES directory named file_name,
-- load that file into the newly created LOB locator, and
-- close the file
file_lob := BFILENAME( 'TESTDIRECTORY', file_name );
dbms_lob.fileOpen ( file_lob, dbms_lob.file_readOnly );
dbms_lob.loadFromFile( binary_lob,file_lob,dbms_lob.getLength( file_lob ) );
dbms_lob.fileClose ( file_lob );
END;
how do I have to adjust the declaration of the mime_type variable respectively what does images.mime_type%TYPE mean?

Adobe Acrobat XI for mac, how to reverse pages in a pdf file and how to collate two pdf files into one

I scanned some large documents, which were two sided. Because they were printed on glossy paper, I could not scan the pages double sided. So I made two files, one file containing all the even pages and one file containing all the odd pages. Now I have two problems: 1. the pages in the even pages file are in the reversed order, so I need to reverse the order of all the pages in this file. Then I need to combine these two files (collate) so that all the odd and even pages are combined into one single file and all the pages are in the correct order.
In older acrobat pro programs (windows) I found a javascript file that could fix all this. However now I have Acrobat XI and I have a macbook pro, so now I'm completely lost. Can anyone help me with this problem?

If you have a script that does it then you should use it... Open the console and run this command:
app.getPath("app", "javascript");
It will print out the location you need to use for the .js file you have. Then restart Acrobat and you should be good to go.

How can I open pdf files without saving?

I use Windows Vista and Firefox browser. Until recently I was able to use the Reader without first saving. I think I may have inadvertently clicked an auto-save option in a dialog window. That window no longer appears when I try to download.

Hi,
Please try following steps:
Open Firefox
Windows: - click on 'Tools' manu > Options and Mac:- Click on 'Firefox' menu > Options
Click 'Applications' tab
from the list, find : Portable Document Format and select 'Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)'
This should solve the problem for you.

Compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line

Does anyone know how to compare two pdf files using adobe acrobat through command line. I want to do this via command line because we want to compare hundreds of file every day through some automated windows tasks.
If command line option is not available in acrobat, then is it feasible to make use of acrobat javascript API to do this task?
Any kind of help will be greatly.

Command-line: Not possible.
JavaScript: Possible, but very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is simulate clicking the Compare Documents button. The rest has to be done manually.
However, it *might* be possible to automate this process a bit more using a plugin. Ask over at the Acrobat SDK forum for more information...

How to add more PDF file in to a designed form

Hi,
I have already designed a form and now want to add 2 more pdf file in to the form, how can I do that.

LiveCycle Designer and forms created using LiveCycle Designer can not do this. Just as PDF's created outside of LiveCycle Designer can not import forms created by LiveCycle Designer, but one can import the underlying PDF page without the form fields. The reason for this is that LiveCycle Designer creates an XML form with a minimal PDF page. The inclusion of the XML form data is enough to make the document not compliant to the PDF format. It should be noted that only versions of Acrobat 5.1 or above can process LiveCycle Designer forms, as these versions have had additional code added to the application to process the XML information.
