Hey Team,

Everytime i try to add a page to a pdf from another pdf, i get an error code "Bytes Not Ready". I have closed program and restarted computer and same error. Any assistance?

I had this problem until just now. I read through this thread and saw the reference to Sharepoint. My file is on Google Drive and I made it "available offline" and it worked. Acrobat has a lot of bugs and is not my favorite app for sure. Acrobat did not know how to reference the cloud location to enable to import. Making available offline by right clicking the file should do the trick.

I wish Acrobat would get its act together. It crashes all the time and is a major pain to edit!!

Same problem here. When I try adding a pdf pages into another open pdf it appears this error message saying "Bytes not ready". Just to make sure, I do this everyday without any problems, but today this error message appeared and I can't fix it.

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry to hear that

Is this an issue with a particular PDF file or with all the PDFs? Please try with a different PDF file and check. If the file is stored on a shared network/drive please download it to your computer locally and then try again.

What is the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 24.02.20687 installed. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also try to repair the installation from the help menu (Win Only) and see if that works.

Please try to reset the Acrobat preferences as described here https://adobe.ly/3Udv2FS and see if that works.

so far there is no solutions with it. I have had to create a work around. You will need to extract the page you are trying to insert into the PDF and sace the individual oage as a seperate PDF and then merge.

Hello, in case this helps I had the same issue when trying to insert pages from a file that was saved on Sharepoint. I made the folder "always keep on this device" and after that, it worked.
