Question

Can't copy files from pc to Adobe

I have some pdf files on my Windows PC, I have Adobe Acrobat Pro (desktop and browser), all I want to do is to copy those files from my pc into a Cloud Storage Folder, but if I drag and drop to the folder it just open every file in a different tab, I don't want to open them, I just need to copy the files, and preferably without having to open each one and clicking "save to cloud storage" and then selecting the destination folder, because I need to copy the same files on a lot of different folders and it will take hours.

 

I used to be able to do that years ago, but now I just can't find the way.

    Have you considered using Windows File Manager to do this?

     

    • Open File Manager and navigate your way to the source folder (If there are multiple source folders, I find it's easier to create a copy folder on my desktop to hold the intake for my multiple copy/paste functions).
    • Select the files from the source folder. Press Ctrl+C to copy them. open the target folder (the first target/copy folder if taking them from only one source folder; if there will be multiple source folders, navigate to the copy folder on the desktop until you've copied/pasted them all to one place), navigate your way to your first cloud target folder and press Ctrl+V to paste copies into that target folder. Repeat to each location as necessary, until the project is done.

     

    Lather/Rinse/Repeat as necessary to first select all the files you want to copy, copy them all from a common location, then navigate to the multiple target folders and paste them where you want them. You'll be able to do this faster, with visual confirmation of each action from the File Manager windows. It'll be easier than using Acrobat to do your copy/paste job.

     

    Hope this helps,
