Hi, I have a form created in Adobe LiveCycle, and I need to be able to take this form and merge it with some PDF forms. When I go try to "Combine Files into PDF" It says the XML form cannot be combine. Is there a way around this? Using the "Create a Portfolio" is not an option.
I have Adobe Pro X
Thanks for any assistance you can give on this matter.

Hi,
to explain why you cannot combine the XFA PDF with others:
Assembling PDFs only works with the same "type" of PDF.
The most common form of PDFs is what I call the Print-PDF. That is what the majority of PDFs out there are.
Then there are special variants such as XFA PDFs. These need a plug-in in Adobe Reader or Acrobat to render them in their final form while being opened.
Because these two are so different, it is not possible to combine them in Acrobat.
You can "flatten" your XFA PDF (it will not be a form with editable fields afterwards) and create a Print-PDF. Then you can combine them.
To flatten them you could for example use the "Microsoft Print as PDF" (which probably works better than converting to Word).
