PDF mail merge is not available on the version of Microsoft Office Word for MAC.  It is also not available on Pages.  Is there a solution?  

 

Thanks

You can do it using a script, like this (paid-for) tool I've developed:

It's also much more powerful than the version that comes with Acrobat, with additional features such as automatically emailing the generated files, or securing them, etc.

Hi @omar_0901,

 

Welcome to the community! We're sorry to hear about this. Could you please let us know which Adobe app are you using? What steps are you taking to achieve a goal?

You are correct. PDF Mail Merge uses PDFMaker, which is Windows only. I've been using Acrobat since 2.0. Since PDFMaker was first released, it was never available for macOS. As I understand it, this came from Apple and Steve Jobs, not from Adobe. 

 

"Create PDFs from Word mail merges

"Mail merges from Word generate documents like form letters—for one common example—that are personalized with information like the names and addresses of the recipients. With Acrobat PDFMaker, you can save steps by using a Word mail merge document and corresponding data file to output mail merges directly to PDF. You can even set up PDFMaker to attach those PDFs to email messages that are generated during the PDF-creation process."
