Windows Explorer Crashes when Combining PDFs

When I select multiple PDFs to combine into one, on a somewhat frequent basis, this is causing Windows Explorer to stop working. The single PDF that I am trying to assemble can be anywhere from 200 to 3000 pages. It is very inconsistent when this problem occurs. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program, but the problem persists. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and my laptop is running Windows XP. I have a co-worker who is running Windows 7 and has also experienced this problem, so I do not believe it is related to the version of Windows that I am using.

AA9 what? Currently it is at 9.5.4 and you may have an update issue that needs to be taken care of, particularly if you are running a 64-bit version of Win 7.

Adobe & Internet Explorer crashing when opening pdf within an Internet Explorer window

Hello,
Can anyone help me with this issue or maybe point me in the right direction? Thank you!
Working with in a ASP that uses reader to display forms. The form opens as an embedded adobe form in a new Internet Explorer window. Once the form opens it pulls data from the ASP. At times when the form opens in the new window both the Internet Explorer windows close. Other times a "user request stop" error appears and once OK is pressed both windows close. The ASP does not know what causes this & can not seem to replicate the problem. ASP is on the other side of the country.
Would the acrotray.exe be causing this?
Adobe Reader           9.3.2
Internet Explorer:        8 up to date

Windows Explorer crashes when plugging or unplugging ipod touch

Seems something is buggy with Itunes 7 or the Ipod Touch itself. This happens to me on 2 different computers, one Dell and one HP so I doubt seriously if it is the computers themselves. All of my drivers on both systems are up to date.
When I plug in the IPOD it will work and sync, however when I unplug it I get a windows explorer crash each time. Needless to say this is irritating as heck.
Anyone else having this problem?
thanks

I have the same problem, even when i use the eject button. I hate vista but on my pc i have no choice but to run it. Never had any problems on my Macs. i also get a strange error on work pc running XP. It says at first that it doesn't recognize the device running in compatibility mode but then it switches over and works fine. I tend to blame it on Microsoft crap, maybe they are updating their OSes to mess with Apple products.

Windows Explorer crash when opening a specific Adobe system folder

When I open "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat" to view the folder's contents, i get a "Windows Explorer has stopped working" error pop-up. It ONLY happens when trying to view that specific folder. It has no effect on the actual operation of the Adobe program. I am running it on a Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium 32bit.
Here's a screenshot of the problem:

Thank you in advance for your help.

That would seem to be a Vista/Permissions problem... you might search at

Itunes and Windows Explorer crash when ipod attached

Hi, for some reason my ipod has started to crash both my laptop and my home desktop computer whenever i attach it. It shows up in Windows Explorer but if i click on the icon it crashes the window. Similarly, Itunes opens if i attach my ipod but then freezes straight away, but then if i take out my ipod it starts to work fine again. Im starting to think that seeing as this is happening on more than one computer it might be a fault with the ipod. Any ideas?!
O and it's a 120gb ipod classic and im using the most up to date itunes on vista.
Thanks alot

Im starting to think that seeing as this is happening on more than one computer it might be a fault with the ipod.
I'm with you on that. By any chance do you have a spare USB cable (or have access to a different one)? If so, try experimenting with connecting using the other cable. Do you still get the freeze with that?

Windows Explorer crashes when clicking on folder

Windows 7 Professional running on HP Pavilion p6616f-b. Computer is just 1 year old. No other issues. Has Norton Internet Security running. When clicking folder, Windows Explorer stops working and restarts. Happens every time I go to Windows Explorer.

Hello ewall777, This does appear to be some type of operating system corruption. You might try going to the Start Orb, and in the run box, type cmd and press the enter key. You should get a black screen with a white blinking cursor.
At the blinking cursor type sfc /scannow (notice the space between the sfc and the / )
This will start the system file check utility that checks all the operating system files for errors or missing files, and replace any that are not valid or missing.
When this completes, just type exit at the blinking cursor and you will return to the desktop.
You may want to reboot the system, and then check if your issues has been resolved.
Please click the White Kudos star on the left, to say thanks.

Windows explorer crashed when I try to open control panel

I have a Linx 10 tablet with windows 8.1 installed. my daughter downloaded a fake chrome installer and when she tried to install it nothing happened (apparently). I installed AVG 15 and it immediately detected a load of files infected with a
virus which it removed. Now I cannot open the control panel. The window opens but is empty and then it hangs and I can only close the window by using task manager. I tried to perform a system recovery (Full factory reset) using the recovery
utility but it just sits there preparing. I have tried to open a number of control panel utilities nut they either don't run or open a window the same as control panel and can only be closed by using task manager.
I suspect that some of the files infected were system files used by windows as some of them were dll files.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Since this problem caused by virus infection, first of all, we need to use anti-virus software scan your system to make sure the virus were killed.
Secondly, to fix this problem, you can try to use SFC /scannow
command to fix system componments dll files lost or corrupt.
If no use, try to use DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
instead for test.

Help! Windows Explorer crashes regularly when using "SharePoint" directory synced with OneDrive for Business

We are using SharePoint 2013 and I want to sync document libraries with
OneDrive for Business with my PC running Windows 7.
In general, it works, but my Windows Explorer crashes very often (after a few minutes) when I navigate in the synced directories and open files there (or copy files into them in Windows Explorer).
How can I find out what happens and how to avoid it?
remark:
We are still using Office 2007, so I installed only OneDrive for Business from the Office 2013 DVD and
deactivated all other components like Office 2013 by hand:
(so for example, the shared office feature or MS Info Path etc. were not installed)
Is there a crash log, where I can find more information about the crash?
Does OneDrive maybe need other components to be installed and can I install them without damaging my existing Office 2007 setup?

Did you check your Event Viewer for any errors during the time when Windows Explorer crashed?
Thanks for this hint!
The Log file says the following, so it seems to be WIDCOMM\Bluetooth Software\btncopy.dll
to be responsible for the crashing Windows Explorer

After updating to Windows 8.1, Windows Explorer crashes.

Hello, I have recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1. When it finished the install and reboot, it went to my desktop where my background image was gone, Kaspersky Pure 3.0 was gone, and Windows Explorer crashes every time it is opened. The other
two problems are not as big of a problem right now so I searched around for a fix on this issue. I found that some applications, specifically Autodesk, were causing conflicts. I don't have Autodesk but I decided to update everything anyways. I reinstalled
Kaspersky, fully updated it and ran a scan to see if it was a virus, which it is not. I updated AVG 2014 free, Malwarebytes free, and many others. I also ran Windows Update. I ran CCleaner to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't either. I looked at
the error report and saw that it was caused by StackHash_35ff, which through further investigation turned out to be a fancy term for nothing. What is my problem? I really don't want to restore to an older version because I've spent the better part of the day
allowing Windows 8.1 to bother me. Please help because I'm out of ideas and nothing from other responses seemed to be the solution.

Okay, so the above worked. I ended the Com Surrogate task, the went into cmd and typed in these two commands;
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
Everything seems to be back in order. I hope this helps anyone who has the same problem, seeing as no one else came up with this solution.

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.

Anubha

Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007

Issue: Acrobat 8 Standard crashes when opening PDFs created from Microsoft Project 2007.
OS: Win XP Pro SP3
Error Message(s): None
Details: This issue happens with multiple Microsoft Project files (including new files), multiple PDF creators (included Acrobat 8 Standard) and on multiple computers. We also tried opening the PDFs in Adobe Reader 8 instead of Acrobat Standard 8. There is no record in the event log on the computers of the application crashes.

I may have a resolution now...
I clicked Tools -> Options -> View and turned off Bars and shapes in Gantt views in 3-D" on the advice of someone on a Microsoft Forum. I made three PDFs from three Microsoft Project files (that were having trouble previously) and was not able to get these PDFs to crash when zooming or changing pages. So far so good!

When combining PDF's, the author is picked up from the first PDF opened. How can I make it use a new author when combining several documents?

Make sure that fast web view is enabled.

Sorting files when combining pdfs?

Ok, I'm not quite sure how adobe sorts files when combining pdfs, but it seems to be somehow different from MS XP. Anyway, what I want to do is combine a bunch of pdfs together which are labelled A 1, A 2, A 3... However, I'm finding that when sorting them by name in adobe to combine them in the right order that the 1's, 2's, and 3's get grouped together, where they are then not sorted numerically. For instance A 2 gets sorted with A 20 and A 200. Even when I use MS XP to rename (e.g. A (1), A (2)) or use Adobe to extract files from a pdf the files are named in such a way that this always happens. Anyway to get around this without manually sorting the files?
A better example of what happens:
A 1
A 10
A 11
A 12
A 13
A 14
A 15
A 16
A 17
A 18
A 19
A 100
A 2
A 20
A 21
A 22
A 23
A 24
A 25
and so on and so forth... where I would like
A 1
A 2
A 3
A 4
A 5...

Looks like a lexicographic ("dictionary" or "telephone book,") order and not numeric order. You could add leading zeros to have all the file names have the same length.
