How to show only 1 page using a password and hide other pages in a multi-page PDF

[govrellic]

I have to email applications to 20 people.  Each application is a single page containing personal information for each person and four fillable fields.  I don't want to send 20 separate emails or password protect each application and attach as an individual file.  What I would like to do is combine all 20 applications into one PDF and send one email to the 20 people, but each person would only have access his personal application to complete and print.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can accomplish this task?  I am slightly more than a novice with JavaScript, but I don’t know the best approach to accomplish my task and keep everyone's personal information secure.

I am using Acrobat DC Pro and users are using DC Reader.

All suggestions are appreciated!

If you have access to a server or other file hosting service that allows for direct URLs like Dropbox, put the PDF up there and send FDF files to each individual. The FDF will add the personal information to the PDF that gets fetched from the server.

Hi Joel,  Thank you for your suggestion!  Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a server nor am I allowed to use direct URLs.  I have to send the applications via company email and respondents will print the application and return via US mail.  Thanks again!

Ok - if that's the case, put the individual user data into a text file and then use doc.importTextData to loop through the rows and generate a new document for each user and then use doc.mailDoc to automatically mail each user their document... the data is much safer that way and it's automated.
