When I go to Create, Multiple Files, a window shows where you have to select one of 3 options. Combine Files, Create Multiple PDF Files, or Create PDF portfolio. I want to Combine Files. I choose that, click Next, and i add my files and it creates it as a portfolio anyway.

Are any of the files you're trying to combine signed, encrypted or were created using LiveCycle Designer?

Acrobat will show a warning at the bottom of it's screen. The only difference between the two interfaces is one has red type and the newer one has black.

One of my files does require a password to edit the file. So when importing it it asked for the password and I clicked Cancel at that screen for the password. I dont want to edit the file. But, also I do not see that red warning you are showing in that screenshot.
