Uniquely Merge Form data and distribute

[jamesb6530964]

Is it possible to create an email merge in adobe where different data is prepopulated for each recipient from a database?

I have some data that I want to verify with some individuals.  What I would ideally like to do is:

1. create a fillable form
2. prefill some fields uniquely per recipient from a database
3. distribute the form
4. compile the results efficiently

Can I achieve all this in adobe dc pro?

It's possible to do it in Acrobat, but not directly from a database. The data has to be exported first to another format, like an Excel spreadsheet.

In some versions of Excel and Word there's a command for performing Mail Merge directly. However, I don't think it has the option to email the files as a part of the same process. You'll have to do that separately.

The other option is to do it using a script in Acrobat. This requires the data to be in a plain-text format (CSV, tab-delimited text file, etc.), and it does allow for automatic distribution of the files. In fact, I've developed a script that does exactly that. You can text it and eventually purchase it from here: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Mail Merge and Email
