When Combining PDF files in Windows Explorer (Right Clicking ...)

... is there a way to set Acrobat so it always default saves the combined file in the same folder as the files being combined are located? It always defaults to a previous location, and I have always have to navigate to the folder I want. Any help appreciated. Cheers.

  • Very slow opening PDF files from Windows Explorer

    When I open a file from within Acrobat X Standard - whether through File>Open or the recent files list - the file opens very quickly.  When I open a PDF file from Windows Explorer, it takes 10 seconds or longer for the file to open.  Is this an Acrobat issue or a Windows/system problem?  (I don't experience the same delay when opening Word and Excel files from Windows Explorer.)

    I had to install adobe reader, but   PDF's used to display just fine with IE, any idea what happened ?

  • Can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer on Windows 8.1

    Hello,
    after I've upgraded to Windows 8.1, I can't open PDF files from Windows Explorer (directly double clicking the file). The AcroRd32.exe runs in the background (2x !) as I see the processes in task manager, but there is no user interface visible. I have Acrobat
    Reader 11.0.06, the desktop version (not Metro). I tried uninstalling the Acrobat reader and installing it again but this didn't help. The only way to open PDF files is to close the AcroRd32.exe from the task manager, open empty Acrobat Reader from the desktop
    and then drag&drop the PDF file over that window. This is quite inconvenient. Is there a way to fix this issue so I can open PDF files directly from windows explorer?
    Many thanks!

  • Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?

    Programming help - how to get the read-only state of PDF file is windows explorer preview is ON?
    I'm developing an application where a file is need to be saved as pdf. But, if there is already a pdf file with same name in the specified directory, I wish to overwrite it. And in the overwrite case, read-only files should not be overwritten. If the duplicate(old) file is opened in windows (Win7) explorer preview, it is write protected. So, it should not be overwritten. I tried to get the '
    FILE_ATTRIBUTE_READONLY' using MS API 'GetFileAttributes', but it didn't succeed. How Adobe marks the file as read-only for preview? Do I need to check some other attribute of the file?
    Thanks!

    Divya - I have done it in the past following these documents. Please read it and try it it will work.
    Please read it in the following order since both are a continuation documents for the same purpose (it also contains how to change colors of row dynamically but I didnt do that part I just did the read_only part as your requirement)

  • Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)

    When I right click on a batch of PDF files in Windows Exploer (WinXP) and click "Print" Reader used to print them all to
    my default printer.  With Reader X windows waits patiently for me to close Reader before printing each file.

    Subject: Print from Windows Explorer Right Click (Adobe Reader X, WinXP)
    I am also getting exactly the same problem, highlighting multiple pdf files right clicking and choosing "print" prints the first document, fails to close the adobe x window and sits there patiently untill it's manualy closed and then the next document prints  - repeat - loop.
    Have this happening on just about every windows xp machine in the office that I try it on and any and all versions of "Adobe X" that I care to install.
    would love a fix for this, reinstalling 9 manually on every PC would waste a day of my life.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Multiple failed attempts to open PDF file from Windows Explorer by double clicking

    Hi,
    The configuration of my system is: Windows 7 SP1 x64, Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.
    When double clicking on PDF file or trying Open with Adobe Reader IX in context menu  in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the Adobe Reader opens only after few attempts. At each failed attempt the new AcroRd32.exe process arises. And only after few attempts the file opens! As a result, i see multiple empty AcroRd32.exe processes in Task Manager, each take about 4000 Kb of RAM and the only one file opened. I'm forced to kill those empty processes manually, because they are not killed when closing Adobe Reader window.
    I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.
    Best,
    Alexei

    Hi Alexei,
    Could you please let me know for how long have you started facing this issue.
    Open TEMP folder (Press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files in it.
    Does this happen with any specific PDF or all PDFs?
    You might try disabling Protected Mode by opening Reader and going to "Edit > Preferences > Security (Enhanced)"
    Let me know how it goes.

  • Windows Explorer Right Click - Open file in Air App

    I have an AIR App that I made to run on my desktop.  It is used for editing specifc XML files.  I want to know if its possible to setup so that I can right click on an XML file while browsing Windows Explorer and choose an option to "Open in (my AIR App)" ... that would lauch my AIR app and also open the xml.
    Right now, I have to launch my AIR app, click to open a file, and then browse for the file and select it.

    ok so after all of this time, i stumbled upon something that should solve my problem.  i created a new AIR file in flash and put a text field on the stage with the name "my_txt" then I just added this bit of script (below) .... then once I installed the air app, i opened a file into the app and the path to the file was displayed in the text box thats on the stage.  now i just have to use this path to actually open the file.
    import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
    NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, invoked);
    function invoked(evt:InvokeEvent):void{
              my_txt.text = String(evt.arguments[0]);

  • Out of Memory error when opening pdf file.  Windows XP Reader v 10.0.1

    I am getting this message when trying to open some of
    my saved pdf files.  It happens on some but not others.

    yeah its working fine. Thank you very much..
    But it would be better if we provide the chunklength rather than using a zero to upload the file fastly.

  • To unpack an llb in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose from "Unpack" options (like WinZip...)

    Greetings,
          To unpack an LLB in Windows Explorer, it would be convenient to right-click on the LLB and have an option to Unpack to current directory.  WinZip does this (for .zip files) via "Extract" options.
    Then again, people may prefer using the "LLB Manager"(?)

  • 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.

  • What happened to "combine files" thru Windows Explorer in the latest upgrade?

    I'm running Adobe Acrobat X - 10.0.2. Until I did an upgrade a few days ago, you could selct multiple PDF files in Windows Explorer and then do a right-click and select "Combine Files in Acrobat" (or something like that). Now that options has been removed? What gives?

    It's a known issue. See this post for a fix.

  • Previewing pdf files in Windows 8

    I have a new Samsung Ulimate laptop with Windows 8- Nice machine but not fit for purpose as I cannot preview pdf files in Windows Explorer- every file just has the pdf icon with no preview and only the filename to differentiate them. Is this a known problem. Is there a reliable fix?

    Not for 64 bit systems, it doesn't seem it was ever expected to work.
