Adobe Acrobat vs PDF Mail Merger

Is anyone familiar with the PDF Mail Merger website?  Or would anyone know if Adobe Acrobat could do something similar where we upload or read an Excel file of names and addresses and auto populate and create individual PDF files?  The PDF Mail Merger software looks good, but I don't have any information about where we would be uploading our data to, which worries me.  Would rather create this in-house and in Acrobat, if it is possible.  Thoughts from the pros?  Thanks!

    Yes, this can be done entirely in Acrobat, without sharing any information with any third-parties, using a script.

    I've developed a (paid-for) tool that does just that: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-mail-merge-and-email-pdf-files

    It runs entirely on your computer and does not upload any information anywhere. You can even run it without internet access at all.

    Just to share another option, my team and I have been using the offline version of MailMergic for this kind of work. It’s pretty straightforward, no setup or training needed, and everything runs locally so nothing gets uploaded anywhere. You can also share templates with coworkers, which is helpful if more than one person needs to run merges. It’s worked well for us so far.

    The only downside is that the pricing is a bit on the premium side, but for us it’s been worth it considering the time it saves and the ease of use.

    Hi. I had a project with 954 files and Adobe Acrobat Pro only provided me the one-by-one record import option, with wich I made 300 out of the 954 files, in 2 days (performing other tasks, not only this), it takes 7 steps to create each pdf document from each excel record, importing the data (not having to type it), and that is not very efficient but at least is doable. Just search in the help area, by "Import form data" and it will provide you the steps.
