Combine Files

Hello everyone,

I have what seems to be an unusual issue happening. I have two editable PDFs, each with different content. I am trying to combine them into a single two-page file. However, every time I add the second page, it duplicates the content of the first page.

Any help in solving this matter would be greatly appreciated.

The fields in the two files have the same names, so when you combine them they become duplicates of one another.

Your options are:

- Flatten the form fields before merging, or

- Rename the fields in one file before merging, or

- Combine the files as a Portfolio.

I did read online about fields having the same name. I tried using two different PDFs with different information, but it still duplicated whatever was on the first page. Some fields will indeed have the same name because the PDFs are being sent to the same client.

Also, a Portfolio isn't an option as that is not how our client wants the forms.

I should also add that this just started happening, it hasn't happened in the past.

I highly doubt that it changed. It has always worked like that. Either the fields didn't have the same name, or they were already flattened when you combined them. At any rate, the solutions I described are your only options to solve this issue.
