Need help in regards to combining pdf files.

I have created multiple pdf files (pages). I am merging the files to create one document and do not want to create a package. I want one continuous file. I have done this before without any problems, both using the combine files feature and manualing inserting pages. Several pages have the same "text field" name so that when I type data onto page one, it will duplicate onto subsequent pages with the same field names. Like I said this has never been a problem, but now I am experiencing a roadblock. Now, when I merge the pages together, any field that is duplicated on subsequent pages, has its name arbitrarily renamed by Adobe and when I click on text field to rename, the change will not save. I am using Adobe Acrobat 8.0 Pro. Any help will be appreciated.

This is actually exactly the same problem I've had, and it's what prompted me to post today's question about making fillable forms nonfillable.

  • Need help linking to an external PDF file

    How can I create a link inside my robohelp project that links to a PDF file that has NOT been copied into the project. I am looking for a link with a relative path in the event the files may someday need to be moved.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Microsoft's HTML Help documentation includes a script with which you can link to an external file. See:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644690(vs.85).aspx
    This opens the external file in the topic pane of the Help viewer. If you'd rather open the file in its native application (Acrobat or Adobe Reader, in your case), you'd need to use a script like this one:
    http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.helpauthoring/msg/fa85cc619be13e3d?hl=en

  • Combined pdf files with garbage fonts

    I need help with creating a combined pdf document.  I start with word 2013, and use the styles to create a linked table of contents.  Then Save As to a pdf.  I deselect the Options to allow the links to work in the pdf format.  Then I add other pdf's created from word, excel or AutoCAD.  Finally I add outside pdf's from other sources (i.e. manuals) to complete the combined pdf.  Some, not all of my AutoCAD pdf's will have text changes, boxes or the letter L, basically gibberish.  I did recently change computers from a desktop to a laptop.  Running windows 8 and upgraded Acrobat Pro from X to XI.  This is extremely frustrating as it just recently seemed to start doing this.  I work for a manufacturing firm and have created combined pdf files to distribute to customers, vendors, etc. on a regular basis, and this just started.  I don't know how to fix it.  Please help

  • I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat.

    Dear everyone
    I need to configure Acrobat to display PDF files in Safari, but I have a lot of troubles to do it.
    I read a european commission document explaining that
    http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/support/sep_usermanual.pdf
    If Safari does not display pdf forms in the browser window, uninstall all older versions of Adobe Reader and download the most recent one. First close Safari and then install Reader. Launch Safari and you ought to be able to open the pdf files inside the Safari window. If you install Adobe Reader 10.1.x without first closing Safari, Safari will not display the pdf file inside its browser window until it is re-launched. For further help, please see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-safari-plug-acrobat-x.html
    I have OX S yosemite, I unistalled adobe acrobat, I closed safary and I installed the new version of adobe acrobat
    but when I open a web page that I need to allow me to display and modify PDF files it is not working.
    I checked the following web page
    Troubleshoot Safari plug-in | Acrobat X, Reader X
    that is recommending the following:
    The AdobePDFViewer plug-in is used to display PDF files in Safari using Acrobat and Reader.
    This plug-in is installed as part of the Acrobat X or Reader X installation. The location of this plug-in is:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin
    but after the new installation with this folder is completely empty and I am still
    unable to open these pdf.
    Does anybody knows anything else I can do?
    Best regards
    Ramon

  • Size of pages in combined pdf files

    How can I keep the combined pdf files from changing sizes in the newly created pdf. If the combining tool doesn't allow me to save the original pdf file size, it's of very little use to me. Can someone help me ?

    You are saying that the PDF pages change size when combined? Ok, what were the sizes before and after? You can check the exact size by holding the mouse at the extreme bottom left of the page until the size appears.

  • The function to combine pdf files and the function to add bookmarks stopped working in 10.x

    We had VBA scripts in Access 2003 running with Acrobat 7.0 standard version to combine pdf files and to add bookmarks. The scripts worked fine. Now we installed 10.x and the functions stopped working. Does anyone share the same experience?
    In the scripts, we just call the OLE object with the code like:
        Set acroOrigPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
        Set acroNewPdfDoc = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Then we have the call "acroOrigPdfDoc.InsertPages" and "acroOrigPdfDoc.Save" to save the combined pdf files. All these functions work fine under 7.x. Under 10.x, they stopped working without any error messages.
    Can anyone help me?

    Post your problem in the forum for Acrobat SDK.

  • How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files

    How can I get a monthly subscription for combining PDF files. I have been able to subscribe in the past, but now all I see is annual subscription. I do not need an annual subscription because I do not use it often enough.

    Hi paige1186,
    The Adobe PDF Pack subscription, which allows you to combine PDF, is only available at an annual rate of $89.99. We do offer month-to-month subscriptions of Acrobat Pro and Standard, but I think you'd actually come out ahead with the annual PDF Pack subscription, if you planned on combining files more than 3-4 times throughout the year.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Combine PDF Files Toolbar Button/Shortcut - Windows 7

    Hello is there a way to add a button to the windows folder toolbar (see pic below) or a keyboard shortcut to quickly combine pdf files without having to right click and select the option? I would love to save a step since I have to do this quite often. Thank you!

    You would need to edit the Windows Registry in several ways to add that functionality.  You can look this up on the web on the how-to portion.  There are also third party utilities that supposedly make this easier to do too.

  • I want to combine pdf files. I do not see the approprate create botton.

    I want to combine pdf files. I cannot find the create button or tab

    Hi yisa ajao,
    If you have bought Export PDF / Acrobat.com service you can select 'Combine files' option on the right hand side and then click on 'Select Files' button to select the files you wish to combine.
    Else if you are using Acrobat Pro, please See the link : http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd6151097 94195ff-7edc.w.html

  • Automate combining PDF files based on a text list of URL's

    I'm wondering how I could automate the combination of PDF files into one, using a list a URL's in a text file (one URL per line, each pointing to a PDF file).
    I need to periodically rebuild a combination of PDF files, with the URL's staying the same, but the files behind getting updated. I'm not a Javascript developer, so I'm doing that "manually" by copying and pasting each URL into the "Combine Files" window, but it would be great if I could get Acrobat to read them off a text file.
    Thanks!
    Corrected typo

    I have developed a script that can do just that, but with locally saved PDF
    files:
    http://try67.blogspot.com/2009/10/combine-pdf-files-from-text-list.html
    It might be possible to adjust it to do what you describe. If you're
    interested, contact me personally by PM or at try6767 at gmail dot com.

  • Will I receive a credit from my original purchase if I upgrade to be able to combine PDF files?

    I purchased a subscription to the online conversion program.  Now I'm thinking of upgrading so that I can combine PDF files.  Will my original payment be used as a credit towards the upgrade or will I basically be double charged since I didn't purchase the full version originally?

    For anyone interested in the outcome of this issue:
    I was able to speak with someone over LiveChat and we came to this solution.  I decided to  complete this upgrade within the first 30 days of purchaseing the $20 subscription for Adobe Export PDF.  Therefore I was able to cancel that subscription for a full refund and then purchase the upgrade (Adobe Create PDF, $90 subscription). 
    Hope that helps for anyone else in the same situation.

  • Merge and Combine PDF files in a numerical order

    Greetings!
    I'm using Adobe Acrobat to create a photo LookBook or an eBook. I'm importing and merging straight from .JPEG's and Acrobat work's great. The JPEG's are sorted by capture date, renamed and numbered as such: "10_File.Name.jpg". However, once I attempt to merge over 100 files I noticed that the numerical order of the file names is wrong. You'll notice in the example below that when viewed by name, the three digit numbers begin after 10. Well, in this example it's twelve. This affects to page order of the combined .PDF file. How can I maintain consistent name order to avoid assembling the finished ebook by implementing two workflow steps. Meaning the first step to combine the double digit numbers, then the second step to combine the three digit numbers. What can I do to resolve this issue?
    Greatly appreciated!

    Try it with a leading zero ( 003_, 007_, 008_, 010_, 011_, and 012_ ).
    Be well...
