PoppaGator -

Adobe has flipflopped a couple of times on naming of their Acrobat stuff. "Acrobat Reader" has been used fairly consistently for the program to "read only" pdf files.

The old version used to call the program to make pdf files "Distiller," but that's an obsolete version that you can't get from Adobe anymore.

The new "make pdfs" is apparently just called "Acrobat" - unless they've changed it again in the last couple of months.

It is kinda hard to keep up with them.

I'm not aware of a way to merge mutliple files during the creation of a pdf, but in the new Acrobat, if you create a separate pdf from each of the component files, you can merge the pdf files. Select "Open as pdf" for the first file, then select "Open as pdf" for the second file. It will ask "Create New File or Append Document." Select "Append Document" and the two files will be merged. Save as pdf.
