Question

Email Mail Merge PDFs from Word (using Mac)

I'm having great difficulty to learn how to send out mail merge PDF via "Acrobat"

 

Software I use: Macbook pro, Microsoft office for Mac (Word, Excel & Outlook) & Acrobat 

 

I've gone through many online tutorials (mainly PC users) and when sending mail merge PDFs, under "Acrobat" tab inside Word doc, there should be an option to send emails in PDF using Mail Merge

 

Here's what I have in my word doc : https://prnt.sc/s5qxks  

Looks like I'm missing few tabs under "Acrobat" tab.

 

I've spent hours looking around, still can't figure out how to send personalisedd PDF to each indvidiaul using Adobe Acrabat (I've got the mail merge format done, ready to go )

 

Any help would be much appreciated. 

 

Thanks.

      Hello. I have a Mac since 1995 and have had to turn to the dark side and use a Virtual PC (or you could buy a little PC for less than 100 EUR). You'll need MS Word, Acrobat Pro and MS Outlook that's it. I merge an excel file into Word and then mail as PDF attachment, which uses the addresses in your excel list (you can even write a simple cover message to go in the body the mail). That's it - it works. See you.

        Just to confirm - this worked a treat.  Thanks for sharing.

            I'm not sure if the PDFMaker plugin has this feature on Mac computers.

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

            http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/09/acrobat-mail-merge-and-email.html

            It even allows you to create an email template and send the merged files to the recipients automatically.

            I've moved this from the poorly named Community Help forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Acrobat forum so that proper help can be offered.
