What this means is that one or more of the files that you are trying to combine have been created to the ISO 19005 standard which is PDF/A. PDF/A is a method that ensures that a PDF file will be able to be opened indefinitely into the future. PDF/A means PDF - Archival. You're getting that message because some of the files do not comply with this standard while others do and it's letting you know that the resulting file will no longer comply to this standard due to the non-compliant PDF/A files that are being included.
