Ok, so I purchased a digital planner off of Etsy.  It's a 1,900+ page document with hyperlinks all over the place connecting to other pages of the planner.  Luckily, the creator was good enough to use destinations instead of page numbers, so I can add pages and move pages around without affecting the link.  Yay!  However, when I went to add my own destinations for the pages I'm adding I noticed there aew something like 17,000+ destinations listed.  Most destinations have 8 or more duplicates.  From what I can find, there's not a way to automate merging duplicate destinations, is that correct?  I think it would be impossible to track these all down manually.  How much is it going to affect my file size, processing speed, etc if I just leave the duplicates in?  It would also be nice to rename the destinations, but again tracking down all the links that reference that destination might be next to impossible.  Can I rename them without affecting whether the link works? ...

I've had Adobe CS6 for a few years.  Two years ago the whole Adobe suite abruptly stopped working.  I vaguely remember closing a pop-up about giving feedback to Adobe, but it was two years ago I'm not sure of the specifics.  I tried all of the standard troubleshooting: restarting the computer, un-installing and re-installing adobe, running as administrator, running compatability modes, etc, etc.  Nothing worked.  I haven't been able to open pdfs on any of my computers since.  Three days ago, I had to re-install another program (nothing to do with Adobe) and solved the problem with that software, thought I'd try re-installing adobe too.  Didn't really expect anything, because I had previously tried re-installing with no luck.  But surprisingly, this time it worked.  It worked for 3 days.  Today, I had a pop-up asking if I wanted to participate in a feedback survey sending data to adobe.  I was on the phone with a co-worker and trying to read the info in the pdf, so I hastily clicked "maybe later".  Ever since I clicked "no", I haven't been able to get into any adobe programs.  No error messages or anything, they just don't open.  Same as before, none of the troubleshooting steps are working.  Are we really being penalized for opting not to send feedback?  I don't necessarily mind sending the feedback and if I knew how to bring up the pop-up again I would click "yes".  Is there a way to "unblock" my software? ...

Ok, I know this topic has come up before on Forums, and I've tried every solution mentioned with no luck.  I've also tried every solution I can find on the first 10 pages of Google search.  I'm hoping somebody has a long shot solution I haven't come across yet.    I have the Adobe CS6 suite.  I used it on a previous laptop and it worked fine, but that laptop died.  I downloaded the suite on my new laptop, which runs on Windows 11, and I can't get any of the programs to work.  Adobe either does not open at all or it opens and crashes almost immediately.  There's no error message or anything, just no .pdf.   I've tried: different compatibility modes uninstalling/reinstalling CS6 updating windows updating Adobe repairing the install turning off protected mode running as admin checking for antivirus conflicts security settings in Adobe turning off my antivirus software temporarily turning it back on and running a malware scan ending as many background processes as possible   I'm also reasonably sure it's not a corrupted .pdf because it's the same if I try and open Adobe directly without a file. And I have checked to make sure Adobe is my default app.   This seems to be a common problem based on the search pages I've looked into.  I currently can't use my brand new laptop because I need a .pdf reader, but I'm not sure I want to download another brand when I already paid a lot of money for this suite. ...

I've seen this post come up before, but none of the marked solutions worked in my case.  I click on a .pdf or even try opening Adobe Acrobat DC, nothing happens.  No error message.  No file.  Nothing.  I checked the forums and this seems to come up a lot.  I've tried: updating Windows, running in admin mode, running in compatability mode, repairing the installation in control panel, restarting the computer multiple times, uninstalling and reinstalling Acrobat SEVERAL times.    Still does not work.  The only solution I havcn't been able to try is checking for Adobe updates.  When I follow links to supposed Adobe updates, it takes me to deals on Adobe Reader.  When I follow links to update patches, I get an error message that the program to be updated may be missing.  Acrobat is definitely installed on my computer.  It worked just fine until recently.  I was disabling start up applications and accidently disabled Adobe Updater.  Now, no Acrobat.  How do I fix this? ...

I purchased a clip art bundle from a graphic designer, who despite being a gifted artist, doesn't seem to understand the tech side of it.  Rather than send individual images I can open as needed, she sent one giant 17,000 page .pdf.  I can open it, but it's too big to save on my computer.  I don't necessarily need the whole thing though.  I would like to delete the pages I don't need (probably at least 75% of them, if not more).  It would make the file size small enough to save and quicker to search through.  Unfortunately, Acrobat won't let me delete pages.  I keep getting a "one or more pages could not be deleted" error message.  I've tried deleting multiple ways, no go.  I've also tried extracting just the pages I need.  I get an error message with that as well.  I've reached out to the designer and she doesn't seem to understand my problem.  She did reluctantly agree to refund my money, but it seems like there should be some way to make this work.  Is there a way to delete pages, extract useful pages, break up the file, or optimize it without saving it? ...

I have a folder 135,000+ files - a mix of .pdfs, .jpeg, and .png mostly. I need to take between 2 and 5 of those files at a time and combine them for all 135k files in the folder.  I know the method of selecting the files in the folder and right clicking to "combine files", but when I'm starting with 135k files, even that is ridiculously slow.  Is there a faster way to combine them?     Also, is it possible to automated delete the component files as the combined file is created?  That would at list get rid of one step.   Further, I'd like to name the files after one of the component files.  Right now, I have to right click on the original, click rename, copy the name, save the new combined file with that name, and approve overriding the original file.  Is there any mechanism for a combine and replace? ...
