I have need to combine a number of screen shot PDFs into single files. It works successfully for screen shots of PubMed searches, Google searches and screen shots from national adverse events databases like MAUDE. I have never been able to combine PDFs of screen shots from the Cochrane Library and now also can't combine PDFs of Google Scholar. I pay an annual subscription for an Adobe PDF pack (which looks exactly the same as the free one so I don't know why I bother). What is going on!

Please tell us exactly what happens when you try and it fails. For example, a screen shot of error message. Also I suggest posting two files that don't combine, so others can test it. "Adobe PDF pack (which looks exactly the same as the free one so I don't know why I bother)." That's what you get. It looks the same but adds more functions. Though not as many as actual Acrobat.

It looks like this:
Not a very informative error message...

I can confirm this happens to me if I used the online converter (which is what PDF Pack uses). I can't find anything odd about these files, nor suggest a solution, sad to say.

The issue is most likely with how the files were produced. It does work fine in Acrobat, though.
Get ready! An upgraded Adobe Community experience is coming in January.
