I cannot get a Generative summary  to generate on my financial packet.   I do this every month with no issues.   

Error message:

"something went wrong, Please try again"

    ​Hi @graceful_Glazec47c ,

    Hope you are doing well, and thanks for reaching out. We are sorry for the trouble you are experiencing.

    A few questions to help pin this down, since you said this worked fine every other month:

    • Have you started experiencing this issue recently after an update?

    • Are you using Acrobat on desktop, web, or mobile, and what is the version of the application and the OS you are using?

    • Is this financial document password-protected, or does it have any unusual formatting/size compared to previous months (page count, file size)?

    • Does the error happen right away, or does it appear after it looks like it's processing for a bit?

    Since this normally works for you and just started failing, here's what's most likely and how to check each:

    1. Sign out of your Adobe account and sign back in, then try again. This resolves the "something went wrong" error for many people, even when nothing else has changed.

    2. Confirm the file still meets the requirements for generative AI summaries (file size and page limits, no restricted permissions), see Prerequisites for using generative AI features. If your financial packet got noticeably bigger or has new restrictions this month, that could be it.

     

    Let us know how it goes.

    acrobat is on desktop

    no the document is not Password protected. Sized and layout of documents are the same as prior months.

    Not sure when the update was. Last time in June I had not issues.

    happens right away.

    I have done steps one.   and I did see a notification that the file meets the requirements.

    I created the file with the same information and files as I have done in previous months.
