Too many files to combine

[Jason Pearl]

I've just upgrading to the latest version of Acrobat DC and I gotta say, it's a terrible experience?

Any ways, I just want to combine 15 PNGs into one PDF. That use to be so easy, just drag and drop – done. Now I have to click-through a labyrinth of buttons. This is the experience:

1. Click button to "Combine Files" (in Acrobat)

2. Then your asked to click "Learn More" that takes you out of Acrobat and launches a browser window

3. Then your asked to "Select Files to Combine"

4. Then you have to "Choose Where to get your files" or "Drag files"

5. Then it takes twice as long as previous versions because the images are being uploaded to the browser...

6. Then I get a message that says "Too many files to Combine, you may only combine 12 or fewer files. Please remove some"

I only have 15 PNGs, maybe 2 mb each. Why can't the app handle this? And how to I get the old version of Acrobat back?

You don't use Adobe Acrobat! You use Acrobat Reader.

Hi Jason,

As per you description, it looks like you are using Adobe PDF pack online services for combine files, which has these limitations:

1.Tha maximum number of files to combine is 12

2.The file size limit is 100MB per file, not the total size of the combine file

For combining more than 12 files at a time you need Adobe Acrobat DC.

You can install Adobe Acrobat DC Pro from here:Download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC, XI, or X​

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
