OS: Windows 11 64 Pro
Acrobat Version: 64-bit 25.001.20997 (update released 12/9/2025 - the day before this forum post)

UI Mode: Modern OR Classic

Problem:
- When using the Organize Pages tool to combine PDFs, my users are dragging in PDFs, but instead of the dragged in PDF appearing in the list of pages, it loads a different PDF from the same folder. Have tried it multiple times with many different documents.

Same OS and Acrobat version. Not happening on my end.

What happens if you use the Combine Files menu?

I may add, the version I am using is installed from the Microsoft Store. Users then login and the app converts into Acrobat Pro.

I will have them try out the Combine Files menu instead. The problem with it is that that is less GUI-friendly (my users include many crumudgeons who will act like I'm showing them electricity for the first time if I ask them to switch their method).

Will report back once one of them has tested the Combine Files method.

Just clarifying--did YOU try it out or are you just reporting what others have told you?

If the latter, I would WATCH them perform the process.
