Automatically fill a pre printed form

New Here ,
Dec 20, 2017 Dec 20, 2017

Good morning everyone, I have a pre printed form that I need to use to print some customer documents; I have read other question that this is possible with Acrobat (not reader).

My question is how can I fill that form automatically based on a source file that has all the information that the forms needs; for example.  I have a csv file with 10 records; I need acrobat to print 10 forms based on the records of that csv file.

Is this possible with Acrobat?

Thank you very much.

Yes, you can do it using Mail Merge. It's available in some versions of the Adobe PDF Maker plugin in Office, or it can be done using a script, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Mail Merge and Email

Here is some information on PDF form filling:

If the form fields on the PDF have exactly the same names as the columns in the CSV file, then an auto fill script is very simple.
