    I have a small business which deals with personalisation. I have created a personalised letter which goes out to my customers each month inside their subscription box. At the moment I am going into the backend of the website, copying their names and pasting it into my illustrator file and exporting it as a PDF. However this is long and laborious.

    I have the ability to download a .CSV file which has the names of the customers on, so is there a way for me to input specific fields from this file into my PDF?

    Yes. This process is called Mail Merge. You just need to add fields to your PDF form that match the names of the columns in your CSV file and then use a tool to import the data into it, generating a unique file for each recipient.

    This can be done using the Adobe PDFMaker plugin for Word, or using a script, like this (paid-for) one I've created, which will even allow you to automatically email the merged files to the recipients if your data file includes their email addresses.

    Direct purchase using PayPal ($99 per license)! Another new and powerful tool to make your PDF experience easier and more efficient. Thi.
