I have a user that when he select multiple word documents and right clicks them he only has the option to combine files in Acrobat and does not have the otpion to Convert to Adobe PDF.  If he select a individual Word document he does have the option.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi darrin1968,

 

Thank you for reaching out.

 

The option to convert to Adobe PDF appears when you select a single Word file. You cannot convert multiple files to PDF individually. When you choose multiple Word files, you get the option to combine them into a single PDF. This is the designed behavior.

Feel free to let us know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,

Meenakshi

I would agree with you but I have the option and so do other users at my location and some do not.

Hi @darrin1968, 

 

I tested your workflow, and it is quite possible. 

The user needs to ensure that he is selecting only Word files, nothing else. Also, you need to check if the Thumbnail preview preference is checked. 

 

How to check:

1. Launch Acrobat.

2. Ctrl + K > Preferences > General, check "Enable PDF thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer."  Click Ok.

3. Acrobat will restart. Wait for a minute. 

4. Try selecting MS Word files only and check context menu options. 

 

If the issue persists, check with your IT-admins if the application is customized or not. 

 

Let us know how it works.
