I am trying to combine a pdf converted from Word with a pdf fillable form that was created for me by a professional. When I attempt to combine the two files I get the following message:
"Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. Please remove these files or go to Settings and choose the PDF Portfolio option"
I do not want a portfolio. I just need to combine the 2 files. I'm using the "Combine Files" function in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC. Can someone help?
Yes... If you want to be able to merge it with a non-LCD file you have to convert it to a "normal" PDF, which means that if it has any kind of form fields or scripts you'll have to re-do all of them from scratch.

I use the combine files regularly. All of a sudden today I am getting that error message that "Acrobat does not support the conversion... " But these are all pdf files and some of them are okay, others not. I cancelled and tried again and now some of the files that were okay are not and vice versa. I was able to combine these exact same files last week. Please help!
I agree and this is so frustrating. It has cost me precious time on my job - delaying work that should have been completed, but instead I had to export the PDF's to Word and then combine them (deselecting the Option to save a PDF Portfolio). So frustrating!
I am having a similar issue, I have tried to convert several, being 13 word document (DOC.) files to a single PDF document, I complete these all the time, from the same file templates I have created.
I have started recently continuing to get the error: "Error during processing (file skipped)"
I have just completed the troubleshooting steps, from the help menu;
Repair Installation
Check for Updates
After trying both of the above and resetting my computer after each time, I continue to get the above error. The only work around I have found is converting my 13 word docs to PDF first and then combining the files to 1 pdf file. However this takes much longer and I then have to delete the extra PDF's when I am done. Can someone please help me?
There are countless free services on the web that can do it in 5 seconds. You don't need to sign up. https://combinepdf.com/ is one. https://www.ilovepdf.com/merge_pdf is another. Many more... I wouldn't suffer or try to troubleshoot Adobe. Waste of time.
