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. Mike
will your script work with my acrobat 7 standard version? my access to acrobat X pro is through citrix portal/company software which means i don't have access to C drive/programs,etc to copy/paste the script file to acrobat install folder. i do own acrobat 7 standard and it's installed locally on my machine, however, i don't see option to create text fields with acrobat 7 standard either..so i think i'm stuck with somehow making this work with my X pro work version..hmm
Would you be able to send me this script as well. I work for a Property Management with over 400 Tenants. We would like to utilize the Mail Merge with a pdf file for CRPs.
This does not mail merge secure files. This just puts information into a PDF form from excel. That is not going to work. I need to be able to put information from an excel into pre populated PDF files that are secure files that cannot be converted to word to do an mail merge through word.
I am trying to mail merge from an excel to pre populated PDF files. I cannot convert to word to do a mail merge, the format gets messed up. It would be a standard mail merge like we do with Word documents. It cannot be a form created to merge information. These are individual PDFs that need data from an excel added into them. Is this possible?
Since I was asked to do it by multiple people already I will post the link here. I hope the forum moderators will not consider this against the rules... The script in question can be purchased from here: http://try67.blogspot.com/2011/09/acrobat-mail-merge-and-email.html
I am a novice at using adobe acrobat but I am interested in using a mail/data merge function with a pre-existing form, I checked out the link, thanks, but I would be interested in also understanding the "script" you reference. Are you still in a position to forward the script if so thanks I would appreciate it.
Thank you for your information. However I have two questions.
Does it work with OSX + Acrobat XI?
Where do I have to run the script? In Excell, system terminal, Acrobat? Sorry to ask such a questions but I am newbie in Acrobat and I am just looking for a way to create mail merges in complex designs.
This will not work because it only merges information from an excel to a PDF form that then creates this same form with the different excel information. I need it to work like an word mail merge where the excel infomation populates on multiple pre populated PDFs. These PDFs are not forms with the same information on them to then just have excel information added. These are documents specific to 1 person each. They need information from the excel added to the individual PDF forms. Thank you
