Creating pdf out of synced sharepoint

[Jo39032257dri3]

Hi, I have a folder in SharePoint that contains multiple documents of different file types, mainly word and excel. That I need to find a simple way to convert to pdf and combine into 1 pdf document.

I have the folder synced to I can access it via adobe.

I am using the 'create pdf' functionality in adobe, but are getting the message "This action can't be completed because the folder or a file in it is open in another program" on some occasions. I do not have the folder or files open on my machine at all. Any ideas why this message is being displayed?

Hi Jo39032257dri3,

Thank you for reaching out.

This message generally appears when the file is opened in another window. Please ensure that you close all the other applications that might be accessing the file. Sometimes, a file might be open in the preview pane of your file explorer, even if it doesn't appear fully open. You may try turning off the preview pane in your file explorer and checking if that makes any changes. 

If the issue still occurs, try once rebooting the machine and directly launch the Acrobat application. Check if you can make changes to the file.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Meenakshi
