Question

Create a pdf with some fillable sheets made by an external person

Hello, how are you? I hope you are ok. I would like to make an fillable pdf so that the person can write something in my pdf. My question is: This is going to be done by an external person(not for myself), logically through your program but I will not give him all the sheets, only the only sheets that I want to make them editable (so that he can´t copy the whole pdf, you know copyright things). My question is: if he gives me those fillable sheets, is there a way for me to add the rest of the pdf sheets to those edited sheets to create a new pdf but the fillable sheets are still fillable? Thank you very much! Basically, I want to create a new pdf with adobe, with my original sheets (that I have not given to him) and with the fillable sheets that he has made.

Yes, you can merge the files to a single PDF, but if they contain form fields with the same names they will become duplicates of one another, and you'll lose the data they (or you) entered into them.

A workaround for that is to merge the files as a Portfolio, or to flatten the pages before merging the files, or making sure the field names are unique in each copy.

If the document is not secured, you can combine the files to create a single file. Please refer to the information in the following help document: https://adobe.ly/4ljQnKB
