Automated emails

Hello, I have a questions regarding a type of distribution. I am new to adobe from an advanced point of view.


We need want the ability to merge user specific data into forms that are already created. This will be for hundreds of people who are our clients,  many times a year.  Each populated form will be then unique and contain information relevant to that specific person only. This part we know we need the pro version and can probably figure out. The next step is that we need to do a mailing to each person who has an associated form, and include the form as an attachment.


We do not want to have to manually do this, I know there is an automated method. This will be for hundreds of people and will be a new ongoing process in our workflow

We have a hosted mail provider and they have already said that its beyond what they can accomplish. We have also spoke with some of the mail distribution companies(Icontact, Constant contact etc) and they cannot help either

Is this something that We can programme into An adobe product - or any other ideas?

thanks

Vincent

Q: Do you need an e-mail merge program that attaches a PDF and sends a custom email message with data pulled from a database?

Q: Do you also require the software to query SQL, Access, XML data, populate a PDF form (Acrobat or XFA) with data, or extract email addresses and other field values from a database and inject them into the mail message or PDF.

Google: "PDF Mail Merge Software"

If you can't find this software with your requirements, then you will need to hire a developer...

Your email message can be as short or as long as you want. For example:

var cMyMsg = this.getField('yourfieldnamehere').valueAsString + " enter any text you want to display in email here." + this.getField('anotherfieldnamehere').valueAsString + " enter more text to display. ";



app.mailMsg({  bUI: false, 


cTo: user@email.com,


cSubject: this.getField('fieldname').valueAsString + "enter any text here",


cMsg: cMyMsg});

This is just a brief example that basically constructs your main message from the form fields and sends an email to the specified user (in example that is hard emailed, but you can pull that from a field as well). creates the subject line and sends the email usering your email client (such as outlook).

Hope that helps
