Main Topics
Browse All TopicsHi, when i use Acrobat 7.0.0 Pro i can select various jpg files and combine them into one PDF document, but in another computer where i have Acrobat 8.1.0 Pro, i can NOT do it... Does anyone knows why is this happening? did Adobe changed this? or is it a bug on the version?, or am i doing something wrong...
Somewhere i read that if i am using Acrobat 8 i have to first save the JPG files to PDF format from the application i made the JPF file.... But doing that to say a 100 files is too much time consuming... of course there is also the Batch automated option in photoshop, but, i want to know why in version 7 i can do it, but now in version 8 i cant?
thanks for your help

I've just tried the "from multiple files" option on Acrobat 8 Pro running on a Mac and a PC, and I can select JPEG files. Combining the files also works.
What exactly are the symptoms you are seeing? Are you sure that the files are valid JPEG files? What are the filenames of some of these JPEG files (name and extension)?
Wow, i forgot absoultely about this question, i am sorry for such a delayon my response.
@ khkremer: I am using acrobat on Windows XP Pro SP2.
The symptoms i am seein is that when i choose COMBINE FILES, and then select the ADD FILES Buuton, I can select the JPGs, but then i press the add files in the dialog box, and they DO NOT appear on the COMBINE FILES Window, and i can not select the NEXT button...
The names of the files are for example:
car,jpg
house.jpg
toy.jpg
I can use these same files on Acrobat 7 in another computer, but in acrobat 8 i cant...
The only thing that seems to work is to convert those files with another software into individual PDFs, and then i CAN Add them and combine them...
@ cj 1969: after i combine the pdfs, and made a single PDF file with the 3 images (car, house, toy), i tried to INSERT PAGES, and when i selected one of the JPGs files, an error occured, saying "BAD PARAMETER" " could not open the file car.jpg"
is very strange... And looking around on the internet, it seems that this newer versions can not use JPGs, is something that has happen to many people i have read... is strange that you where able to make it. (khkremer) I also used the "from multiple files" and nothing...
Well maybe what i will keep doing is saivng evrything as individual pdfs, and them combining them
Thanks for your interests cj 1969 and khkremer
Inserting pages will not work with JPG files - it only supports PDF files.
Would you be able to share one of these JPG files with us? I suspect that there is something different about how the JPG file were created, and Acrobat might "look into" these file to verify that it indeed can process them. Here is what I did: I selected a PDF file with multiple pages, then I selected to "Save As" and picked JPEG as the format. This created one JPG file per PDF page. I then selected those files and tried to combine them. That worked - maybe because Acrobat writes JPG file in the same format that it also likes when importing?

Have you tried the create PDF from multiple files function - you can find that under the File menu?
