When compiling a number of pages into a single portfolio in Acrobat Pro in Mac OS Sequioa 15.1 noone using acrobate reader seems able to open and read the document in free Acrobat Reader. It seems to only work when pages are integrated as one file. Also trying to convert a web page into a prinatble pdf seems no longer to work in Google in Mac OS. Can anyone advise please?

@philip_1036 You're encountering two distinct issues related to Adobe Acrobat Pro on macOS Sequoia 15.1. Firstly, the portfolio creation problem suggests a compatibility issue between Acrobat Pro's portfolio feature and the free Acrobat Reader. Portfolios, while convenient for organization, can sometimes rely on features or plugins that aren't fully supported in the free Reader version, leading to access problems. The more reliable method is indeed to combine the pages into a single, standard PDF file. Secondly, the inability to convert web pages to printable PDFs in Google Chrome on macOS Sequoia could be due to changes in browser or OS functionality. Recent updates might have altered how Chrome interacts with the system's PDF generation or printing capabilities. To troubleshoot, try using a different browser, checking for Chrome updates, or using Acrobat Pro's built-in "Create PDF from Web Page" feature as a potential alternative.
