Can you combine different templates into one file to be sent, filled in and signed?

I am brand new to this format. I have figured out how to make templates for forms that we use. The purpose is to send the template to an employee, have them fill in the blanks needed, sign and date it and return it. We have like 5 different templates of forms that I have created in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Is it possible to combine the already finished templates into one combined file or do I have to send them individually? Was hoping to have the employee receive only one email with it all in there. Is there a way to do that? Or do I have to start all over and put them into one template to do that?  I see how to combine files but there are no options to use template files. Hope that makes sense. Thanks!

What do you mean by "template files", exactly?

Generally speaking, sure, you can combine PDF files, unless they are already signed or secured. In that case you can combine them as a Portfolio.

However, if those files contain form fields with the same name those fields will become duplicates of one another in the merged file.

By Template files, I mean I made a form and made it into a template so I can easily send it to different people without having to add all the fillable blanks in on each form every time. It is located under Documents and then under templates. Does that make sense? I guess it does have form fields because they are entering information onto the form. I'm a little dense on all this. Just learning. Thanks!

I'm puzzled by what you mean by "save as template". Can you take us through what you mean when you say that - how do you do it? PDF forms are full of surprises, and it's easy to be led into unhelpful choices.


I will attempt to lead you through but keep in mind I am completely clueless!! We just got this program. So I was taking pdf forms I typically send to new employees. I wanted to make it so I could just use a template and send them out easily. I saw when you use "adobe sign" before you hit send you can "save as a template". So I thought, "Hey, that would be a good idea" because I had just spent like 20 minutes putting the little text boxes into the appropriate boxes in the forms so the receipient could fill in the blanks. I have tested the forms and they do work!! By God's grace alone!! So I can go to documents and then templates and then send the forms from there one by one but I can't seem to see where I can combine the files. Thanks for you help!!!
