The right-click context menu to combine files was available two days ago at the latest. When I tried to use it today, the placeholder is there, but there is no text. The entry still functions as intended, it's just annoying. See the pic.
Any thoughts? <edit> I've done an uninstall/reinstall, manually registered the .dll, and done inverted jumping jacks, all to no avail.
Hi,
I have/had this issue too, so I thought I'd share my experience with it.
In my case, it seemed to be related to the Google Drive client for Windows. The issue showed up after I installed it and would go away if I uninstalled it. However, with Google Drive installed, the issue wasn't always present.
So I've still got Google Drive installed and seemed to have rid myself of the problem. Well, it's been fine for a about a week so far since I took the following steps below.

RK97 Ah, I see. You unregistered Google Drive's context menu but never registered it again. Not what I wanted. Uninstalling Google Drive and reinstalling it got everything working again.

The fix that SolidVolume presented is a good workaround. It works on my system and leaves me with both Google Drive and Acrobat installed properly. I have Acrobat 9 and Windows 7 Pro 64. However, I use FreeCommander, and to see the effect there, I had to restart FreeCommander.
Also, I used FileMenuTools instead of CCleaner to disable the context menu items.
Note there are several places to disable GDContextMenu and you probably should disable them in all the places:

Worked for me, thanks!

I found your solution quite helpful. Adobe's workarounds (registering the Adobe context menu .dll file) don't work for a simple reason, I believe.
CCleaner>Tools>Startup>Context Menu shows that the two Google Drive context menu items are called “contextmenu64.dll”, exactly the same as Adobe Acrobat's ContextMenu64.dll. I suspect Windows has to activate one and disable the other.
Google has highly-paid but dumb-as-a-rock engineers in its midst.

After I tried most of the other proposed solutions this was the one that made it all work! The problem was also solved when I installed a trial of Acrobat DC but as it was a trial it was not solving the problem for good with Acrobat X pro.
