Combining files automatically merge as a Portfolio!?!?

In the past couple of months, everytime I try to combine 2 or more PDFs into 1 PDF, Acrobat is pulling/merging it as a Portfolio!?!?!? I do not want this & don't understand how or what changed.  I have Acrobat Pro DC.  Help!  Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

Thanks.

    Hi Becki,

     

    Thank you for reaching out.

     

    Please use the following steps to disable the creation of a Portfolio:

    1. In Acrobat, go to Tools > Combine Files. 

    2. Click on Options in the Combine Files window.

    3. Uncheck the Save as PDF portfolio box and click on the OK button to save the changes.

     

    Let us know how it goes.

     

    Thanks,

    Meenakshi

    Hi Adobe, please don't be aggressive and don't impose your preferred saving style on your customers. They have brains, they can think, they are all mostly highly educated, and they know what they want and need. DON'T CHANGE THE DEFAULT BEHAVIOR OF YOUR SOFTWARE ON THEIR BEHALF.

      Hi,

      I hope you're doing well. Apologies for the delayed response and trouble.

       

      Could you please share more details about the issue? Are you not able to combine files using Acrobat? We're here to help, just need more info.

       

      Thanks,

          Thank you so much!!  That was too easy once I was told there is an options box in the Combine files.  Not sure how it got checked, but all should be good for me now!!  🙂
