How to combine multiple file types into one PDF using Acrobat XI

Hi Gary Greene,

You can find all the updates for Acrobat 9 here:
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/9.x/

Or, try running the Check for Updates command under the Help menu.
Thanks,

Hi Gary Greene,

Do you have all the point updates for Acrobat 9 installed? Acrobat support for Windows 7 didn’t start until at least the 9.2 update.

I have Acrobat Adobe 9 Std, I am using Office 10, and Windows 7. Merging files into one pdf was simple until I upgraded to Windows 7. Now I can merge 3 pdf file into one pdf file but the content of one of the templates missing. Lets say I have 3 pages to a template, when I combine 3 pdf file templates, the content of one of the templates is missing. The pages are there but the pages are blank….UGH

Thanks Lori
The JavaScript is only solution that I can work. It’s possible send to me an example of this selection? I have the pattern in txt file. For each line of this file I want combine the files start with same pattern in one.

Hi Pedro Barbosa,

You could probably do this using JavaScript but you’d need to be able to program the pattern.

Alternatively, you could use the Combine Files dialog using the List View. This will allow you to see all files starting in 001 and just delete the one that doesn’t match.

I have a folder with many pdf files all have a key at the beginning. How can I combine for each key. Example: 111_o.pdf 111_p.pdf combine to 111_join.pdf ... it’s possible? I have 5 files with same key or only one withe other different key.

Hi Antoinette Pienaar,

Try running the Repair Acrobat Installation from under the Help menu to see if it corrects the problem.

“Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF.  Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option”

Hi Antoinette,

Trying running the Repair Acrobat command from under the Help menu. If this doesn’t correct the problem, make sure you have all the latest point updates. Third, you can try doing a repair of your Office installation.

i have been using this method for a while and i have never had a problem until now.  I wont allow me to drag and drop my emails into the box and if it does it talks about chaning the setting, which also has not helped.  could anyone please help!

Hi Robert,

Do you already have the files open somewhere? If so, try closing them first. I’ve experienced this error using the combine command before on PPTX files but not other file types. Also, make sure you have the latest updates for Acrobat installed.
To insert other files, you can use the commands under the Tools pane > Pages panel.

Thanks,
Lori

I can get the merged file complete with no problem.  However:  When I save it I get all these repeat Pop Ups asking the same question Do you want to save ......If I click Yes it keeps asking the same question..  What am I doing wrong?  One More question:  Once I establish a merged file How do I add to it and which command do I use to add another file to the front or to the back or in the middle?  I have a big problem with saving.  Please Help Me.  Thanks
