I've used this tool for years and have turned to 3rd party vendors for better options. Adobe should step in and revamp this tool.

For me the issue with this tool is the processing features. I cannot add multiple folders containing multiple files and output aggregate PDF's that correspond to each folder. The same is true with more complex file/folder structures where I may wish to add and combine specific sub-folders from specific directories into aggregated PDF's.

Moreover, the file naming features could benefit from an upgrade in features. I'd like to have the option of renaming a new aggregate PDF with the original folder/path names of the source files- even better, the option to concatenate those names in various orders to document the original location of the source files.

Features like these are needed to boost productivity through automation. At large scale, to carry out the preceding features I've described would take hours if not days to complete using the standard Adobe tools.

Acrobat 11 had a feature that showed the number of pages in each document being combined. Acrobat DC has it but you must hover over the document to see it.

I often combine 100 pdfs together to make one document. I need each file to have even pages so that they print correctly and each section starts on a left hand page. In Acrobat 11 I could read at a glance which sections needed an extra page. It now takes 15 to 20 minutes to hover over each pdf (there are 100 of them) to see if they have even pages or not.

Please go back to the old feature that allowed instant access to the most important information that is needed - the number of pages in the document.

Please provide options for bookmark naming conventions. When creating HTML reports, I intentionally use relative links to link to attachments or appendices. However, when I create a PDF from the HTML home page, the bookmarks contain the full link exposing my User Profile name and other sensitive information. I would like the bookmark to be named for the relative link or the filename only (or an option for the document title). I prefer to create my reports in word with hyperlinks to other docs and attachments, but I have submitted a separate feature request for creating PDFs from documents with links.

TITLE:
Saving PDF file from Word always results in "a file conversion is already in progress" error on a Mac.

In Word the Acrobat ribbon's "Create PDF" button either does nothing when it is clicked or it results in "a file conversion is already in progress" error from Acrobat.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE ISSUE:
1. Open any Word Document
2. Click Acrobat tab to see the Acrobat Ribbon
3. Click "Create PDF"
4. This opens the "Acrobat Create PDF" dialog box.

"You can create high quality, rich and accessible PDFs using Adobe Create PDF cloud service.
Click Yes to create a rich PDF using this service
Click No to create a PDF without using this service"

1. Click the the "Yes" Button.

The first time you do this, nothing happens. The second time you do this it brings up this error message:

"A file conversion is already in progress. Please retry after that conversion is completed"

EXPECTED RESULT:
It makes a PDF.

OBSERVED RESULT:
It does nothing or give me that error mentioned above.

ENVIRONMENT (and conditions):
Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.6
License is an enterprise deal through our University that comes with Adobe CC and Acrobat DC

I have tried docs with one line, and I have tried docs with multiple pages, it will be the same result on my Mac.

I have trained about 25 people at my univeristy on this buggy product. This error happens on about 50% of peoples computers.

Please, don't tell me to reinstall. This is a clean install.

If I use the "Create PDF" button on my PC running Windows 10 it functions as expected. Most people at my University are on a Mac, so we can't just say use a PC.

This is a very urgent issue to fix at my university because we need to make our PDF files Accessible. This bug pretty much means half the people who need to make an Accessible PDF file from word can't do it.

I'm on MAC and I'm used to seamlessly combining .ai files into a .pdf easily with the Combine feature in Acrobat. Some of my peers would benefit from this greatly also but they are on PC and it appears on PC Acrobat can open and view .ai files but it will not acknowledge .ai files in the Combine feature. This feels like an oversight or bug since it clearly works fine on MAC. Can we please have equal support for this on PC as well? It makes it much easier for creatives to work smoothly with other areas of the business and enables non creatives to utilize these files easily for meetings instead of needing the creatives to make special versions of their work meant just for presentations etc.
