Mail merge data/list from excel to existing pdf document that has text fields for address created

The technique outlined in that discussion is manual. You have to repeatedly perform the import, each time selecting a new row.  Works fine if all you need is one line. Of course if that line is 100 deep into the CSV you'll need to search for it as well.

However, I thought this discussion was about mail merge, which implies creating a new PDF for each row in the Excel file. What is your solution to that Mr robk54044128?  If there is a thousand lines do you suggest manually importing 1000 times?  And how long would that take? How much would it cost your company to have you spend hours clicking buttons in Acrobat. Much more than $99 I suspect. Unless of course you work for free.

The only solution is to either write a script, plug-in, or app yourself, or if you lack the skills, then to purchase a 3rd party product, of which there are many.

The script is actually simple, and you'll find various example and tutorials on it here:

Once and for all, I'm not sending a copy of this script to anyone. If you want it you can purchase it using the link provided above.

Done.

thx, but i can't find mail merge button in acrobat X pro anywhere..hmm. office products irrelevant because i am stuck with a complex pdf document that doesn't convert to word doc correctly so no option to mail merge to pdf from within word. must mail merge excel data list of addresses to the text fields i've setup in the pdf document. why so hard to have mail merge a standard option from within acrobat? this is insane why this full pro version of acrobat doesn't seem to have mail merge function. thx for any help, including if you have access to a mail merge script as you mentioned and then i'd need help using script..never used acrobat scripts.
