Re: Merge using PDF Template

When you say that you can "certainly bring the data in using Excel", do you
mean that you can automate the process of populating the fields on the .pdf
from with data from Excel.
If that is the case, and the data that you want to use on the form is
presently in a table in a Word document, select that table and then copy it
to the clipboard and then paste it into Excel.
I suspect however that the statement that I quoted above is not really the
case and I do not think that it is something that can be done using
mailmerge in Word. Googling for AutoFill PDF Form however turns up a number
of leads that claim to do what you want. One example is

Good Morning,
I hope you can help ASAP since I'd like to automate this process today. I
have a 12 page application form in pdf format that I would like to
pre-fill
for our users. I would like to use mail merge somehow to merge the
applicants data onto the form. However, I cannot see how it is possible
in
Word to place the fields on the primary document. I can certainly bring
the
data in using Excel.
Please let me know the best method for this. Thank you!
Michelle
