Hi Maher

 

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described, you get a message prompt 'Bad Parameter'  when you try to use the Cloud tool in Acrobat DC

 

- Would you mind sharing the workflow/steps you are doing?

- What is the version of the Adobe Acrobat/Reader DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the latest version 21.01.20138 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

- Is this a behavior with a particular PDF file o with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check.

 

Please try to repair the installation (Windows Only) and reboot the computer once and see if that works, Go to Help > Repair Installation.

 

You may also try to reset the Acrobat preferences to default as described here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat/how-to-reset-acrobat-preference-settings-to-default/td-p/4792082 and see if that helps.

 

Regards

Amal

When you try to delete a page from a PDF, you see the error message “Bad Parameter.” The same error message may also occur when you try to insert or add a page to the PDF. The “Bad Parameter” error occurs when Acrobat finds some problem with the underlying structure of the tags in the PDF file.

    Hello Sophi5FB1.

    This is DEFINITELY late for you but I had the same BLASTED, FRIGGIN' problem as well.
    Did not at first trust the solution but I found the same link on another site and decided to "EXPLICITLY" follow it, line for line.
    We HAVE to do the COMBINE PDFs - I just used another one pager XLSX or Word file, something like 10 lines of content.
    It actually helped, so I'm passing this along to everyone, as far as possible, go to their link:

    And follow the steps, I mean - REALLY follow the steps... in  Solution 1: Combine the PDF with another PDF

    Once done, it creates a file called:

    • Binder1.pdf

    Afterwards - MAKE SURE to rename it to whatever you want....  

    THEN - make sure to delete the extra PDF content that was combined into your original PDF.

    And of course, you should do what you set out to do originally — delete the unwanted PDF pages in the document….

     

    What ~Amal shared with you is what I found elsewhere, which worked.
