Acrobat Pro Skipping Some Files When Using 'Combine Files' from Windows Explorer

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro on Windows 11. When I highlight multiple PDF files in File Explorer, then right-click and choose "Combine files in Acrobat…", the application opens but does not include all the files I selected. Some of the highlighted files are skipped entirely and don’t appear in the combine list.

I've already tried rebooting to rule out any temporary issues, but the problem persists. All the files are accessible and open fine individually in Acrobat, so there doesn’t appear to be any file corruption.

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions on what might be causing it or how to fix it?

Hi @efficient_niceness8693,

Thank you for reaching out, and sorry for the troubled experience. 

Please visit this discussion and check if this is the issue you are experiencing: https://adobe.ly/458XTQV

 

If it is the same, then this is a known issue, and a bug is currently open with product engineering. 

If this isn't the same issue, I highly recommend sharing a video that shows your exact workflow of combining files and the problem.

Will be waiting for your response.



Best regards,

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
