Makes no difference, regretfully so. Adobe Acrobat has stopped working .. after 1081 files. Likely Acrobat has an issue handling larger number of files.

I haven't tried that one out yet. Thing is that 90% of the files contain text and I'd like to have the text OCR'ed so a desktop tool, like X1 can index the contents. btw: Acrobat crashed at 1090 files the time before that last session. At the last session it crashed at 175 files. Folders only contain jpg and png files.

I have tried to create a "Batch Convert Images to PDF" task. It looks like it is running fine, however, each time, somewhere after 80-90 files have been converted Acrobat crashes. I have no idea why. There are a few threads on Internet about converting images to pdf, but regretfully none of them I could use. Either they were for some older versions of Acrobat (steps do not correspond with my version), or the answer was vague/unclear to me. I am using Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 10. Have tried to create a task as per below. Three questions: a) how to have the task run minimized (if at all possible)? b) how come Acrobat gives up, after say 80 or 90 files? or c) is this task/sequence, the way I set it up, wrong ? I am sorry if the screenshots are too big!! Have no idea how to upload them as a small image. Thanks!

Many thanks for the reply. CTRL-J brings up a JavaScript Debugger window is that correct? - - This 'workaround' may indeed be of some help. The above is roughly what I had in mind with renaming from within Acrobat. However, then with old name and new name boxes. Anyway, thanks again! p.s. Probably I am the only one asking for this kind of feature.

Up front... I know it isn't possible (yet). It is a very regular occurrence that I wish to rename an Acrobat file, the new file being based on the contents of Acrobat file. Example: the document contains documents from various years and is about various subjects (archived pdf). Right now, open the document, write down the start and end-date of the documents that is in the pdf write down some keywords, file is about this, about that. close the file then rename the file using Explorer based on what you have written down. Renaming within Acrobat is not possible. There is a script named File Name Stamper, that may give an idea. However, it is impossible to scroll thru the document in the background... so as to add details to the filename, etc. So, the rename should be like: Fm: OldFileName.PDF To: SubjectA-SubjectB-SubjectC 2015-2018 01022018.pdf (where the 01022018 is the date of the last add document) as said, right now, only using Explorer based on handwritten notes.

I'd like to do the following: 1. Convert to single searchable pdf's (i.e. for each file a separate pdf) of: a. multiple selected image files (jpg/png) within 1 folder b. all files within a selected folder, or selected multiple folders c. save the files in the respective folders 2. Convert to 1 searchable PDF of: a. all files within 1 selected folder or multiple selected folder (this while selecting the folder only, i.e. without opening the folder) b. make the PDF(s) searchable c. save the file optionally into 1 destination folder or within the selected folders c. 'auto-name' it after the parent folder Have these options available in the context menu. No questions asked, i.e. it should run unattended. In case of errors (like non-rendered text or so) skip without asking. Have been trying to get something done also with the help of thread "Convert Excel folder of files to a pdf folder of files in a different location without having to hit save for ever" Convert Excel folder of files to a pdf folder of files in a different location without having to hit save for ever () but could not get all the above done.

Often forum threads have many replies and cover multiple pages, sometimes 10 or more. Sometimes I'd like to have the entire thread for reference in future. Have vainly been seeking a way to print such threads to PDF. Acrobat XI Pro->Create PDF from website, pasting the URL will get me the 1st page only. Tried some other options in that window, like stay on server, increasing levels, but none of that worked. Probably it is not possible at all. I believe there is no Acrobat 'action' available and I haven't found any 3rd party tools around. Assume it isn't possible then? =

I believe it is the method of downloading causing different checksums. As said, if the file is not generated 'on the fly', then the checksums are the same. = = I know that checksums are not considered within Acrobat View->Compare Documents. This method is perfect for comparing 2/two documents only, but not when comparing a lot of probably duplicates. Ideal would be if this method (Compare Documents) could be applied on an entire folder and Acrobat would show what files are duplicates. Anyway, this is not possible right now and there is no alternative but to go thru the folder(s), sort on size and check and delete each duplicate file. =

I am very sorry for the confusion. What I meant is that the hashes calculated from the files are different.

Thanks. I forgot to saye that the files were downloaded from a server. Simple 2 page documents, As a matter of fact, I might download the very same document 10x in a row, but each time the hash is different. 1. Within Acrobat->View->Compare documents: Acrobat tells me the documents are the same. 2. A 3rd party tool that compares on contents, tells me the files are the same. Imagine one is downloading the acrobat-xi-pro-accessibility-best-practice-guide.pdf twice. http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/accessibility/products/acrobat/pdfs/acrobat-xi-pro-accessibility-best-practice… In that case the hashes are definitely the same. However, once the document is generated 'on the fly' the hashes are different, i.e. it is the way how a document is produced that makes them different. The reason for posting here is that I am unaware of Acrobat-tools that allow comparing documents on contents only (number of lines, number of characters,, or size and number of lines) but ignore comparing on hashes. Except then by comparing 2 documents within Acrobat, which, in case of many documents, is quite a workload. I know it does not exist, but it would be nice if Acrobat could do a kind of 'batch-compare files' in a folder in the same way as document compare. = later: hm... I see I am not the only one.. Can we have a batch process for comparing pdfs Can we have a batch process for comparing pdfs ()

I have multiple duplicate PDF files. They definitely are the same, contents-wise. Acrobat compare files shows no differences. File sizes are the same, dates (not times) are the same. But they have different hashes (there is technical reason why this, but not very much relevant) So, sizes, contents, metadata and dates are the same. The usual duplicate files finder tools, they take hashes into account and therefore they are of no use. Acrobat can compare 1 file with another one. Regretfully I have not found a way where files within an entire folder is being compared, based on above criteria, thus marking files as (possible) duplicates. Are there any solution for this? Except, of course, going thru the entire folder and manually delete duplicates. =

Following issue: I have an image (screenshot) pasted into Word When printing to PDF the quality of the text is reduced - it is slightly blurred, so to say. In the default print settings I have changed the downsample settings, as per below. Regretfully this does not help. I might use "Press Quality" instead of 'Standard'. The quality is correct, i.e. it is exactly the same as in the Word document. However ... In Word, the document was displayed landscape - both text and paper are in landscape. The PDF print however, the text is landscape, but the page display is, so I need to turn the page 90 degr. (in view, turn clockwise) As said, the quality is perfect, but the page display is portrait. A few questions: a. how to have "Press Quality" output the same as input (i.e. no need to turn page clockwise) b. how to have "Standard" print without distortion c. how to set the papersize to A4 by default? (right now it is always set to Letter and it seems to change back to letter each time) thanks! = later... I just realize ... maybe it has something to do with the issue I had before Papersize within Acrobat being different from the papersize set in the printer properties Thread title: Scan from scanner glass, content shift to left https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2256491 =

Thanks for getting back on this. Please below the Acrobat PDF scanner settings. I believe it is Acrobat. The reason why is that when I use Letter (in stead of A4) the width is correct, left margin is displayed correctly. Even though letter is just 4-5mm longer than A4, the bottom of the page is cut off and the 3 last lines are not scanned. When I set A4 - the full length (height) is scanned but the left margin is cut off When I use the scanner software and export to PDF (low quality, I can influence the quality, OCR, etc.) the document is scanned properly, i.e. correct width and height/length. As said, the quality is poor, but that aside... You may see and compare it below against the original Word document. I printed the Word document and used that for testing purposes. If the document would be misplaced on the scanner glass, then the document produced by the Epson scanner software would also be wrong. = =

My scanner printer, Epson WF-5620 has two ways to scan document: - automatic document feeder (ADF) - scanner glass Within Acrobat XI Pro (v11.0.18) when using Create PDF from scanner AND using the first option (ADF) : the results are fine. However, the same way, but then using the 2nd option, scanner glass, the document contents looks as it is shifted to the left and slightly to the top. (Yes, the document is placed correctly and I tried repeatedly) When using the software that came with the scanner, the results are also correct. Does anyone out there have an idea? =

Acrobat XI Pro Preferences->Convert to PDF->Microsoft Excel or Word->Edit settings then 'Edit' at Adobe PDF Settings then in the new window it shows the sizes of 'Letter'-paper size instead of what I am using by default (A4) Windows locale is set to Europe, printer is set to A4, 210x297mm (printing preferences) Wonder where Acrobat XI is getting the Letter paper sizes from. Assume it must be derived from whatever settings somewhere? Thanks = = later = what are the recommended settings in case of .jpg screenshots with text imported into Word and then exported to PDF. e.g. say I create a screenshot of this thread (using a capture tool) then paste it into Word then export the Word document to PDF in Word the fonts are crisp and are exactly the same as in this thread however, once exported to PDF, the PDF font is not sharp/crisp anymore.

Within Acrobat XI Pro I wish to change the zoom key from CTRL-plus/minus to just the 'Plus'/'Minus' on the keyboard So it is similar to Photoshop and some other applications. Is this possible? Secondly, I would like to change the zoomlevels, e.g. increase to fixed levels. e,g, 30-50-60-70-75-80-85-90-95-100-105-110-115-120-125-150-160-175-200-225-250-300 (etc.) vainly searched for these settings, so probably it is not possible, i.e. zoomlevels are hardcoded?

Thanks, no further assistance is required. But... btw, you may wish to give it a try yourself go to: https://www.ing.nl/media/ING_ing_woonverzekering_tcm162-55787.pdf display the file online, make screenshot of the frontpage then download the file, open the pdf and make a screenshot compare both colors. do not convert colors, or whatever, but compare them as it is. note, the color of the online version can be considered as 100% correct. that is to say, comparing the rgb values of the online version with the colors used on the banking site, there is no visible difference. both monitor and Acrobat are set to sRGB, but probably that has nothing to do with it, else the online version would also have been displayed in a wrong color. I am interested to see how the colors are at yours (screenshot of both?) Thanks again ==

When viewing a PDF file online the color is so much closer to the real (official) color then when viewing the same file after download. Below example: on the right, PDF viewed when using Firefox (Windows). The color is very close to how it should be. (Official color RGB 255 098 000) The orange (brownish orange, RGB 232 147 071) on the left is how Acrobat displays the downloaded file. Any suggestions as to how to get the same color?

Sorry for the delay. Many thanks for all your advices. It is truly appreciated. I have reset Photoshop settings (ctrl-alt-shift) when launching Photoshop and leave it to Europe Prepress 3, which apparently is the default. As for the dark images, they seem to be CYMK. when opening I get a warning The document "Wild World ..." does not have an embedded CMYK profile. What would you like to do? O Leave as is (don't color manage) O Assign working CMYK: Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004) O Assign profile: Coated FOGRA27 (ISO 12647-2:2004) and then convert document to working CMYK Nothing changes, whatever option I select. So, I'll be using my ' crappy workaround' (which I am sure is -absolutely not- the proper way, but it works for me) Image->Mode->change from CYMK to RGB then View->Proof Setup->Select Monitor RGB (the monitor is set to AdobeRGB) Anyway, again - thanks - for input and above all patience ! =
