Not able to combine PDFs stored on share drive

[antoniob73109462]

HI,

    I am trying to combine two PDFs that are on a share drive using Adobe Acrobat XI but all getting an error saying the file can not be read to remove it. If I move the same files to my local desktop it works just fine. I am using windows 7 and the share drives are on Windows Server 2008 Any ideas

Can you open the files in Acrobat?

I can open the files in Acrobat

In Acrobat you can insert pages:

thanks, do you know if this is a known issue?

[Bernd Alheit]

No.

May be that the path of the documents is too long for Windows.

Do you have writing permission for this shared folder?

I do

In the screenshot it seems like you have that file opened in the background... Maybe that is causing it to be locked. Try closing all files before you merge them.

I have tried it with and without the file open. It works just fine if I save the file to my desktop and combine them
