Combining word-files: Word needs more security-access to each file? I have to find and point out each file...

[Nizy33]

I’m using MacBook Pro mid 2012, latest OSX and Word 2016, 15.24, Adobe Document Cloud version 2015:010:20056

Architecture: x86_64

Build: 15.10.20056.167417

AGM: 4.30.61

CoolType: 5.14.5

JP2K: 1.2.2.35592

I’m trying to combine files, dragged two word-files to combine-window, hit Combine-button and Acrobats starts conversion from word to pdf….but everytime process stops due to word need more access to the files….i have to select each file again in the server to get the conversion process going….this security? check for each document means a lot of extra work.

Especially since I made some changes in the settings - the server and search path should be trusted…in earlier version it was possible to drag wordfiles to the combine-window, hit combine-button and the conversion started automatic.

Since I combine files several times a day this is really annoying…. How do I get rid of the access-windows for document in secure servers? I've already tried to set servers/search path as "Trusted" in DC

Hi Nils,

It seems this may be the known issue to Microsoft Office: Grant File Access: Word cannot open the document: user does - Microsoft Community 

Did you check with Microsoft about this?

Hi Tariq,

Thank you for your answer.

It might be the issue! I haven’t checked with Microsoft and will proceed doing so.

Best regards,

Nils
