Suddenly unable to combine word documents

Hi,
I've been using Adobe Acrobat X every quarter to prepare a PDF for a board meeting, combining Word Documents and PDFs.
It's always worked fine, but all of a sudden I can't combine Word anymore.
The error message that I receive is "Please remove problem files from the list or choose the Portfolio option"
When I try the Portfolio option, the error message that I receive is

Hi,
I'm using Microsoft 2010 on Windows 7.
The thing is I haven't updated my OS or Office since the last time I used Adobe Acrobat Pro when I was still able to combine Word & PDF, so I can't understand why I've suddenly lost this functionality.
Thanks alot for your help

Combining Word Documents - Selecting Pages - Acrobat X Pro

Hi,
I am hoping someone can tell me where I can find the setting to be able to do the following action,
When combining different types of files, I get different behaviour for selecting pages, i.e. the "Preview and Select Page Range" dialog,
e.g. for a pdf file, in the preview pane, I can navigate through the pages with the buttons at the bottom,
However, when I try to select the pages in a word, powerpoint etc. document I get a different behaviour,
As you can see, there are no navigate buttons. The preview also appears to be in "outline" mode, i.e. doesn't show page gaps. Just a continuous preview of the document. This makes it very difficult to actually choose which pages to combine without having to open the document itself and determine the pages I want, i.e. defeating the purpose of having a preview pane at all.
I had a trial version of Acrobat X Pro, but then we got the full version. I am sure that in the trial version I had the navigate buttons, or at least got the page breaks shown.
Is there a setting that might have changed?
What could be going on?
Thanks

Hi Bill,
Yeah, that is my current work around. I open the word document separately, find the pages that I want to combine and enter those into the Acrobat X dialogue box.
However, that sorta defeats the purpose of having the preview and select pages dialogue box in Acrobat!!
Futhermore, I am sure it worked in the trial version I had before. So I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that just needs to be turned on/off.

Unable to Open Word Documents Since Mavericks 10.9.5 Update

Since updating to Mavericks 10.9.5, I can no longer open Word documents that were created/edited between 8-27 and 9-18-14, and that I had opened 9-17 and earlier. I receive the following message when I attempt to open a document:
"Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document,
or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /)."
I have Microsoft Word for Mac 2011, version 14.3.5., and a MacBook Air 1.8GHz, Intel Core i7, mid 2011. Can you help?

Anybody else experiencing this? No mention of effects on Quicktime in the 10.9.5 upgrade notes.
Unable to duplicate your problem in random tests of my library. M4V (H.264/AAC/AC3/Chapter encoded) files continue to play normally in both QT 7 and QT X players. Anything special about your files or anything unusual happen during the system upgrade installation?

Cannot Combine Word documents Adobe X. Office 2010

Hi All,
Wondering if anyone has run into this issue before. We are running Adobe X on Server 2003 SP2 (Citrix envionrment). We have just upgraded to Office 2010 and Adobe X (latest Patch). The primary reason for the upgrade is becuase the Combine Files fuction with Office 2010 and Adobe 9.x was not supported. After upgrading, any attempt to combine word files fails. Combining PDF files work perfectly fine. I'm able to open Word and using the Adobe Ribbon, convert Word documents to PDFs fine as well. I can also print to the PDF printer and I am still able to successfully convert to PDFs. When we attempt to combin any Word files (.docx), each file errors out (gets skipped) and at the end we receive an error (No PDF File was created becuase Acrobat encountered an unidentified errors). I'm running this as an administrator so permissions shouldn't be an issue. I've changed the settings on the PDF printer and that hasn't helped (print directly to printer and change the port to a file location).
In addtion to the combine files not working, right clicking a word doc and Converting to a PDF fails too. See the screen shot below. IT seems as if the PDF maker is erroring out. I can see Word open in the task manager. Once the converstion fails, it does not close the Word process in Task Manager.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried it on a base machine, not a server (hope you have the additional license from Adobe for the server use, since that is a violation of the license for an individual package installation)? There are often problems when doing these things over a network.

Unable to merge word documents

When attempting to merge word documents an error occurs.
"There were errors encountered while combining files. Do you want to open the combined file or return to the file list and try again?"
In the merge list, they show up as a red X as status "Error (file skipped)"
Computer is Windows 7 Pro, fully patched and joined to a domain.
Word is version 2007 (fully patched on SP3)
Adobe is version X Pro (10.1.13)
Adobe X Pro and Microsoft Office has been reinstalled. A full virus scan has been done, nothing found. A clean up of registry has been done with ccleaner.
File location does not matter, I have tested locally and through a network share. The files open in word no problem and can be converted to PDF from word without issue. The issue persists in all user accounts so its computer wide.
All other files merge fine, only Word is effected.

Are you able to convert these files to PDF on their own?

Unable to save Word documents when accessing them directly from the site because the document never converts from a read-only even though the User chooses to enable editing

Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment. Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
following message appears when you try to save the document:
This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out. The real issue is the
word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.

Hi,
According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
on the new file server.
How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy?
Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.

Unidentified error when combining word documents on Acrobat 8 standard

One of our users is currently running Office 2007 and Acrobat 8 Standard. Whenever she tries to combine multiple word files into one PDF, each file in the list will say "Error (file skipped)". The Status will say "PDF conversion process failed, please correct the error and retry." Afterwards I get an error of "No PDF file was created because Acrobat encountered an unidentified error." Printing to the PDF printer from Word works just fine, however this problem only seems to occur when combining word files. I have logged onto the PC as a network administrator and everything works correctly. Any Ideas?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

It may be as simple as updating Acrobat. I think you needed AA8.1.3 to work with OFFICE 2007. Try to use the create PDF selection under the Acrobat menu in WORD (this is PDF Maker) and see if you can create a PDF. If there is no Acrobat menu, then PDF Maker is not active in WORD and is the basic problem you are having. PDF Maker has to be working for the Acrobat function you are using to be useful.

Unable to send Word document as attachment to an email

I have recently installed Microsoft Office Standard on my new laptap which runs Windows 7 Professional. When i am in Word and trying to send the document as an email attachment, I received an error dialogue box with the message "Word couldn't send
email because of MAPI failure: "Unspecified error"." I clicked on the help button and have tried all the steps but no avail.
The work around is to open Outlook and create an email with an attachment. This works BUT I would like to be able to use Word as it was designed. Anyone have a similar issue and suggested correction?
Thanks!

Here is a simple solution sure to work.
1. Start
2. Search for Winword
3. Right Click Winword and choose properties ( I instead would choose open file location just to know where the rest of windows programs can be found. Once there, right click Winword again and choose properties.
4. Click compatabilty tab
5. Check run as administrator at the bottom
6. Apply
7. Do the same for all Office programs If so desired (on the same file location where you found winword just look for Excel, Powerpoint, etc. and make sure the file you choose is an application type file)
Jic, it is not obligatory to apply the above solution for to all Office programs. You can do it just to the ones you want to send email from. If you only need Word to have this functionality just do it for Winword and thats it.

Unable to open words document after the latest mac office update

I hv just updated my Office for Mac after being prompted to do so. however, we was not able to open my words doc after that.

It's possible you've reset the crop option during the placement of another PDF or .ai file and it's set to somethign that doesn't exist in the PDF you are trying to place (Bleed box, or Trim Box are likely candidates). Try showing the options when you place the file and check the crop options. It should be sticky for both PDF and .ai until changed again.

HT4993 I am unable to open word attachments from my work email ever since I bought the 5c. The word documents just flutters but will not open

I am unable to open word documents as attachments from my 5c. I never had the problem with the 4s. Is it something in the settings?

Working on reviewing book chapters for a large NPO and have a big problem trying to open multiple Word files attached to incoming emails. Am using OS 10.5.8 and AOL email account, Word for Mac 2008 with auto-updates. If more than one Word file is attached, I get a message, "filename.doc uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version." None of the suggested work-arounds to open the file (such as from within Word) will work.
Since you didn't describe "the suggested work-arounds" I can only guess whether you've tried this, but in that message there should be a paperclip icon on the left at the bottom of the header. If you drag that icon onto your computer's Desktop, you should see the attachment(s) there. Can you open them by double-clicking?

Unable to open or forward Word Documents

I am currently using Yahoo as my mail provider. But I am unable to forward Word documents (issue happened before 1.1.1 update, haven't yet tried it after the update). The message will be forwarded, but the Word document that was attached will be missing. Also since updating to the newest software (version 1.1.1) I can no longer open Word Documents that have been sent to me. When I attempt to open the attachment, the mail application closes completely.

I tried your recommendation, however it did not work. I still can’t open Adobe itself or any Adobe documents.
