Adobe Acrobat Professional 11.0 - Flash End of Life

I have Adobe Acrobat Professional 11.0. It's a dated program but works excellent. Since Flash has reached End of Life, I am no longer able to "Combine Documents." I get an error message that states... "To view the Flash technology content in this PDF file, please install this version of Flash Player that supports Adobe Reader and Acrobat." I click the link and it brings me to Adobe's website where it tells me Flash reached end of life. I'm not able to donwload the player. I  chatted with an Adobe tech rep who tried assisting but was not able to do so. He told me to post this message and "Our product expert of Adobe flash player will reply to your thread with a resolution asap." Hoping someone can reply with a solution other than upgrading to DC. Thanks.

    If you want to make a portfolio (rather than just combine files into one) you will need to upgrade to DC.

    You should still be able to merge files as a single PDF, not a Portfolio, unless that is not possible with those specific files because they are secured or signed or something like that.

    The issue is related to the portfolio option. To avoid that error follow the following steps:

    - Open Adobe Pro

    - Create/Combine files

    - In the new menu to Add files hit the Options button to the top right side

    - Select Single File instead of Protflio

    - Uncheck Always enable accessibility and reflow

    - Hit Ok

    Now add your files and hit combine.

    Hope that works for you.

    There is no solution other than getting the latest version of Acrobat.  Also for security reasons, you're better of using the latest.

     

    FREE Acrobat Reader -- view, comment, print & sign PDF.

    Paid Acrobat Pro DC -- the complete solution for creating and saving PDF.

    Hope that helps.
