I take screenshots of whatever project or course I'm working on, organize them into folders and eventually create PDF's out of these PNG's or JPEG's. For years I've noticed if I attempt to use the combine tool, Acrobat would take FOREVER insisting on doing a security setting scan on every files before assembling them into a PDF.
When I select multiple files in the finder and choose open with Acrobat, I'm now asked if I want to to combine the files into a single PDF. There are no security setting checks and the PDF is created almost instantly. I don't always create PDF's from the finder and don't understand why Acrobat behaves so differently if I use the combine tool. Is there an way of changing my Acrobat security settings so that it doesn't check files generated on my own system?
This issue has followed me through several versions of macOS on at least 2 different Macs, so it does not seem to be system specific. Currently I'm using a M1 Max MacBook Pro running Sonoma 14.7.2.
Here is a screenshot of the Acrobat version.
Thank you,
Felicia Lovelett
