Thanks...How do I auto label the individual files with a field from the merge?

Is this an actual field, or just some piece of static text somewhere? Either way, you can't do it using the Split Document command. You'll need to use a custom-made script to read the value of this "field" and use it when extracting pages from the file.

There are toosl that can do this directly from your Word file that has the mail merge functionality but allows you to save directly to individual files. Look at https://www.mergeguru.com for example, it is like Mail Merge for files. Other tools are https://pdfmailmerger.com/. I am sure there are more tools like these.

Here are some screenshots of these tools:

What do you mean by "mail merge documents", exactly?

I have a Micro soft Word Mail merge using Microsoft Excel as the data source. I created a mail merge with 5,500 records. I want to create 5500 PDF files with a field in the excel field (merge field) as the name of each PDF file.

So you want to perform a mail merge operation on a PDF form and an Excel spreadsheet?
