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
