Someone from Fiverr is merging PDF documents from me and they are unable to merge some newer PDFs that I downloaded from a government website. They get an error that reads "Adobe XML forms cannot be merged". Is there a way to convert these forms to a mergable pdf format? Here is the error message that he gets.
Please advise.
Thank you!

LiveCycle Designer forms (AKA XML forms) can't be merged like normal PDF files. They can only be edited using LCD.

I have downloaded an Adobe XML file (IRS form) from a government website & without using specific materials, they cannot be merged with other PDF files. Is the below statement directly related to this topic?
Are you sure this is not a file created by exporting form field data to an XML file?
