Question

Combining PDFs with data fields into a printable document

I am trying to merge different PDF files into a printable format.  I get a popup that says that all data will be merged.  It suggests to create a PDF Portfolio which I do, but there is no way to print any part of the portfolio.  The Print option is greyed out when selecting one or all files.

Any input will be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

You should flatten the files first. Run an Action on them (via Tools - Action Wizard) that executes the following code on each file, and then saves it:

this.flattenPages();

Be aware, though, that this is NOT reversible, so either save the file under a new name, or make sure you have a backup copy of them, in case you want to edit them later on.

Those attachments are screenshots.  What you you like to see?  I can put the blank pdf file or possibly the portfolio. Please let me know.
