Acrobat Pro X and Word 2013 cannot combine Word and PDF files into a PDF
My company recently upgraded from Office 2010 to 2013 a couple of weeks ago. I already have, and so do others, Adobe Pro X installed. It worked fine, when combining 2 Word files and 1 PDF file into a single PDF, as an example.
Now, with Office 2013, trying to perform the same task, the entire sequence of events in the process is thrown off. Instead of waiting until the end of the combine process to ask to save the PDF file, it quickly pops up the Save As window before the first file is converted. And then, if you save in that dialog, it stays hung up on the first conversion of the document and a second Save As dialog opens. Ultimately, I have to End Task as it is stuck in a loop at that point. I've turned it over to local IT and they tried to reinstall Acrobat without success.
The only work around is to, with the new Word, save the Doc files as PDFs in Word, then combine the PDF files. This avoids the conversion process and allows it to finish, but it's only a bandaid to the problem.
