Ah! Export all as pdf and use pdf tools to join them into a single pdf
document.

Or just import the 5 spreadsheets and export as pdf. They will display but
will no longer be "live" spreadsheets. PDF won't support the fill-in
capabilities anyway. The new OOo3 is supposed to be able to make fill-in
forms but it is a specific challenge to make one. Needs the extended pdf
addin.
