How can I convert different file types to PDFs then combine them into one PDF?

How can I convert different file types to PDFs then combine them into one PDF? It's common to get error messages especially when I try to convert excel spreadsheets to PDFs and try to combine them as one. Usually, I'm trying to combine Word Docs, Excel spreadsheets, Screenshots, and png/jpeg images. I'm using a MAC with osSierra.

 

It’s a long standing problem but it seems like Adobe states the same pad questions and answers. I would like a specific answer/solution instead of the run around. Thanks. I’ve reviewed the following webpages but to no avail.

Make a secure pdf unsecure

Is it possible to make a secure pdf unsecure using Adobe Acrobat Pro?

 

Basically, I am trying to add text using the Edit Document Text tool, but I cannot and I believe it is because it is secure.

"This feature is not included in your current Acrobat license" pops up every time I attempt to use any feature of Acrobat Pro on my Mac. Is Pro no better than Reader or do I need to enable features somehow?

Used Javascript in Document Actions to create dynamic watermark to display print date, however it doesn't work in Acrobat Reader, even though Javascript is enabled. Is it because watermarks cannot be created in Reader?

Below is the script that I used under "Document Will Print".  when I tested using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC it worked great. When I tested using Adobe Reader XI, the date did not show up, even though JavaScript was enabled.  Any suggestions?

 

this.addWatermarkFromText({

cText: util.printd('mmm d, yyyy h:MM tt', new Date()),

nHorizAlign: app.constants.align.center,

nVertAlign: app.constants.align.bottom

});

Open a large PDF to a bookmark

(this has to be easier than what I'm making it!)

 

We have a 60+ page PDF, with several bookmarks, uploaded to our webserver. I trying to create an URL that, when clicked, will open the PDF to one of the bookmarks.

 

I've read through the documentation (https://www.adobe.com/content/dam/acom/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf) from a few threads but something is not working correctly. What am I missing?

 

Here are two examples of URL I've tried:

 

www.webserver.com/my.pdf#nameddest=bookmarkname

www.webserver.com/my.pdf#bookmarkname

 

Neither are working

How do I scan with a Canon MF734Cdw multifunction printer?

$

I recently replaced my PC and now run under Windows 10. I successfully reinstalled Acrobat. I have a Canon MF734Cdw multifunction printer. When attempting to create a PDF using the scanner function, I get the following message: "Either no scanner driver is installed or the scanner is not connected". I have no problem printing Word documents on the printer, but Acrobat apparently doesn't recognize my Canon printer as a scanner. This worked on the old PC, which I had to replace.

 

Is this an Acrobat problem or a Canon problem? How do I cure it?

How do I white out text and type over it?

$

I used to be able to do this in older versions of Acrobat (I am now using Pro DC). I would add a text box, with a white fill and no border to white out whatever I wanted covered up. Then I would create the text I wanted somewhere else on the document, type the text, then drag it over the white box.

 

Now, the text I drag over defaults to being hidden behind the white text box. I try bringing it front, that does nothing. I wouldn't even need to create additional text, but the text box text color defaults to red and I cannot change that either. SO FRUSTRATING, especially since I used to be able to do this. Someone please help! Thanks in advance.

Need to create a fillable pdf that is locked before it's filled out. Can this be done?

I have an application for customers that needs to have the text locked so that the text created in the document can't be modified by the customer.  But I need to have other fields in the file be fillable fields.  Can this be done?  Please and thank you!

"There was an error while reading a stream." -- only Adobe; other PDF readers have no trouble

When certain JPG images are used with the third-party library ABCpdf to create PDFs, the resulting PDF is readable in every non-Adobe PDF consumer. But Acrobat DC, Acrobat Reader, Illustrator DC, and perhaps other Adobe products report "There was an error while reading a stream."

 

As I stated, every non-Adobe PDF consumer can read these PDFs without issue: Chrome, Edge, Nitro PDF, xpdf, Ghostscript to name a few.

 

This is somewhat similar to the previous bug from 2015 Re: Why I'm getting "A drawing error occurred." when I try to create a PDF?  that was reported by another former member of my team; the error message is now different, and unlike the previous one which could be triggered from Create From File within Acrobat itself, this one only happens when PDFs are created with this library and then loaded in Acrobat.

 

This shared folder contains three images that do this; one PDF that shows the error; and one PDF made using Create From File that does not show the error.

How do I add different unseen keywords/text/metadata to each page that is searchable?

$

Let's say I have a PDF with a different doctor on each page from a different department.

 

i.e.

page 1 - Cover

page 2 - Oncology

page 3 - Cardiology

etc...

 

I need to add some sort of hidden unseen keywords or text or metadata, to each page (not the metadata document) that can be searchable.

i.e. Someone opens the PDF and does a Find for "prostate", it would jump them to page 2 even though there is no visible text on page 2 that says "prostate".

 

 

I don't want to have text that just white because I don't want it to highlight the word when found.

 

I tried to add a form text box with the words inside it, but when i make it hidden, it's no longer searchable.

I have combined several pages into one pdf Binder.  Although all the pages were built on 8.5 x 11 inch paper, inside the combined pdf they are different sizes on the scree.  How can I achieve continuity between all the page sizes?

I am using Outlook 2010 with Acrobat x Pro (OS Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit). When I open a PDF file in Acrobat and use the Attach to Email feature, all seems to go well. However, the item does not trigger Outlook's Send and Receive feature, the email does not appear in my Sent Items folder, and the email is not received by recipent. My work arounds are (1) Create an email in Outlook and attach the file or (2) Right click the file name in Windows Explorer and use Send to Mail Recipent. My Acrobat version is up to date. Any suggestions?

Assembling pdfs, we normally select all single page pdfs, then add to acrobat, they USE to all fall in order ( folio) now they are out of order. Tried moving and soon as adding other pages, it fowls up again. ( goes out of order) Tried sorting by name it corrects, until I add another file. This use to be a problem back on version 7.0

 

Have not seen this till now. We work with 100's of pages per document all day and do not have the time to keep moving pages back into order.

Adobe Pro XI and Reader DC constantly crash

I've been running Adobe Pro XI since June 2014.  In the past few months, Adobe Pro and Adobe Reader constantly crash.  My IT team could not find out why and they re-imaged by laptop only to have it start up again.  I have Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit OS.  At first the fix was restarting my computer.  Now that doesn't even work.

 

In looking in the event log here are the errors received:

 

Faulting application name: Acrobat.exe, version: 11.0.10.32, time stamp: 0x547e97af

Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18247, time stamp: 0x521ea8e7

The program Acrobat.exe version 11.0.10.32 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Action Center control panel.

Process ID: 22ec

Start Time: 01d081d97baa55a0

Application Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe

Report Id: 68cbc711-edcd-11e4-8356-ac7ba1ae4c18

Event ID:  1002

 

The description for Event ID 16 from source Adobe Reader cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.  If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.  The following information was included with the event:

Event ID: 16

 

Those are the same error messages repeated over and over in the log.

 

I can't open a PDF, I can't edit a PDF, and I can't print to PDF without these issues occurring.  Any guidance on how to fix this problem is greatly appreciated.  Otherwise my IT team is going to downgrade me to Adobe Pro 10 to see if that changes anything.
