Error message combining multiple PDFs

[David22195281aeat]

I'm trying to combine a few PDFs stored on a local drive, short file names and under 100mb. Each time I select the PDFs, I get error messages saying "cannot convert file type to pdf". When I select non-PDFs, those work just fine.

Any ideas?

Working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 2024.002.20687 on a Mac Studio M2 and all software is up to date.

Are you able to open all of these files on their own, before trying to merge them?

[David22195281aeat]

Yup! I can open them just fine in all programs. Under permissions I can
print but nothing else

Hi there

I have tried to reproduce the issue at my end and its working fine.

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.

If it still doesn't work, would you mind collecting the Adobe CC logs https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html and share them via any cloud storage. Just upload the log file to the cloud and generate the link and share that link with us for further investigation.
