Can I perform a mail merge from my writable pdf?

I'm trying to create a writable pdf but I need certain information to be mail merged into it. Is this possible.?

I'm glad you got it to work. I did mention converting the top row to a header row. It's a common error & the solution isn't at all clear. Here's what I wrote some time ago:
You need to designate a row as a header row in the Numbers table. Imported spreadsheets don't mark the first row as a header row. If the top row does contain the labels, hover the cursor over the row number, click the down-facing arrow that appears & choose convert to header row. If you don't have a row with labels to convert, add a header row using the Table menu or click the icon (middle icon) in the format bar then type in the labels.

Can you make a mail merge from a page layout? I can successfully do so from the word processing section of pages

I am trying to mailmerge to a form and need to center certain sections on the same line. Impossible to accomplish in the word processing portion because it wants to center the entire line. I would like to use the page layout section but the "enter merge field" is gray.
I have been able to accomplish the task using Filemaker but some of my constituents do not have Filemaker and I would like to make a template for them to use with numbers, excel,etc.

Can't see what Layout mode could possibly offer that you don't have in Word Processing mode.
Tried using centre tabs? You are using tabs, and not just hammering away at the spacebar?

Can I do a mail merge from Excel in Pages?

I would like to use Pages to send out invoices and form letters to my membership database which is in Excel. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

HT2500 how do e mail merge from mail

How can i do e mail merge from my mac

Something is not quite right here. A MacBook Air does not run any version of IOS, and would you per chance be using OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite instead?
In Excel, export your Christmas addresses as a comma separated value (CSV) file.
In OS X Contacts, make a new contact group — let's call it Christmas 2014. Click on this group to make it current. Then from Contacts > File > Import, select your CSV file from the import file chooser. Your Christmas list of contacts are now generated within the new contact group: Christmas 2014. This may be an imperfect process, and may require you to clean up some of these contacts.
In Contacts > File > Print, you can pick your Avery address label sheet stock number, pick the Christmas 2014 distribution, sort these contacts alphabetically, and print up your labels. Your labels will appear in the large display box in this print dialog. I am excluding this in the screen capture.

Mail Merging from Numbers

I'm trying to Mail Merge from Numbers into Pages to generate mailing envelopes. I've built the columns in my Numbers spreadsheet to correspond to individual merge fields (street, city, state, zip), and I can build my merge template in Pages. When I then try to merge the data from my Numbers document, all that gets generated is a copy of the first row. That's it. Not much of a merge... has anyone else seen this? Am I not merging properly?

Report the bug and try using Address Book instead for the merge this seems to be a more solid way of doing the job.
See my (very long post) http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1854549&tstart=0
Personally I am a firm believer in *Prepaid Window Face Envelopes*.
I imagine you want to personally address the correspondence, which means the name and address are already at the head of your letter.
Position them so they appear correctly in the prepaid window faced envelope and there is no second pass printing, no error matching letters to envelopes, no sticking on of labels or stamps and less waste to be thrown away at the other end.
More time to resolve other more pressing problems on my Macs.

Mail merge from Acrobat...

Is there a way to perform a mail merge and then email those to a corresponding list of emails from within Acrobat X?

Hi Syrax12,
This is possible either with the Mail Merge button in the Acrobat PDF ribbon in Office and Acrobat, or you'll need to use a script.

How do I do a mail merge from contacts to Pages?

The old version of Pages allowed a simple mail mail merge with Contacts. The "What's New in Pages" document says you can still mail merge from Contacts, but I'll be hanged if I can figure out how. Will someone please tell me how to mail merge from Contacts to Pages? Otherwise, I've got to learn a new word processor.

There is no built-in mail merge feature with Pages v5. Apple only supports mail merge if you are willing to either create your own AppleScript application or use pre-written AppleScript solutions. Examples are here and here. Pages community discussions about these are here by the developer.
If you are unwilling to do engage in AppleScript, then fall back and use Pages '09 v4.3.

TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

Depends on how big the file is. If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it. If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi. Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there. Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example.
Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer. There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need. The good news is it is free. The bad news is that it has terrible ratings. For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in the same place. If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you. you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

TS3992 on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

on iPad: How can I delete my Mail storage from my iCloud backup?

Did anyone ever provide a resolution, because I am having the same problem.
My iCloud backup said yesterday that over 500 MB was being used by the Mail portion of the backup. So I went into iCloud.com, deleted all of the mail in my Sent Mail folder, then emptied the trash entirely. When I did that, it got worse; it said that 1.2 GB of the iCloud backup was taken up by the Mail backup. That doesn't make any sense. That is actually the opposite of what was supposed to happen.
Today, it is back to saying that Mail takes up 609.4 MB of space in the backup, but there is next-to-nothing in any of my iCloud email folders. What is going on?
Any suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Mail Merge from Microsoft Word 2010 to "Individual" PDF documents.

Hi Adobe brothers and sisters,
I need help with this one.
I'm Mail Merging over 300 letters and each letter has seven pages. What I'm currently doing is mail merging from Excel to Word then printing it into a single PDF document. Once printed, I select each seven pages and then reprinting in PDF with the name its intended for? This is very time consuming and hoping there is an easier way.
Is there a way to save each individual PDF documents (each letter) and have them labeled by a specific name listed on the letter intended for (eg: surname) without going through this lengthy process.
Regards,

I've developed a tool that will allow you to extract each group of 7 pages
into a single file with just a few clicks. See:
http://try67.blogspot.com/2012/01/acrobat-extract-groups-of-pages.html
However, the file names of the generated files will be generic. If you want
to use some text from the pages themselves in the file names, that might be
possible, but would require a more complex script. Contact me personally to
discuss it further.

Apple has removed merging from Pages 5 along with over 100 other features:

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder, use that.

How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

How do I convert mail merge documents to individual pdf docs and save each with a field in the merge?

Is this an actual field, or just some piece of static text somewhere? Either way, you can't do it using the Split Document command. You'll need to use a custom-made script to read the value of this "field" and use it when extracting pages from the file.

Mail-merging from Oracle HRMS - Web ADI vs BI Publisher

Hi
I'm currently involved in a project to automate the production of candidate offer letters and contracts from HRMS for our shared HR service centre. The solution I've built to date uses custom database tables and PL/SQL to select the relevant text for the candidate based on a set of criteria, and views to supply the necessary data to Web ADI which then performs the actual merge into a template Microsoft Word document on demand from the end-user.
The issue we're facing is that the Web ADI to Word interface can't handle more than 64 merge fields (Word basically throws up an error saying the maximum number of fields has been exceeded) so I'm looking at alternatives which will still provide the same (or nearly the same) functionality in terms of mail-merging. From the looks of things it seems like BI Publisher could be a potential alternative; I do however have a few questions which I hope someone can answer!
1) How easily can BI Publisher be integrated with HRMS to provide such mail-merge functionality on demand? How would such integration be achieved e.g. concurrent program, button on the toolbar in HRMS?
2) How many merge fields can BI Publisher handle? Our largest letter has nearly 100 unique fields, a number which could go up or down over time.
3) I understand from looking at some of the tutorials and demos that an RTF template could be used as the basis for the mail merge - where would this be stored, on the database or the file system?
4) Are there any case studies out there which cover such an implementation of BI Publisher? This would be really useful as it would help in formulating a recommendation to my project manager!
Many thanks
Geoff Butler

Good that you are trying.
The LDAP users do not show up in my Web Logic console. Is a functionality available to allocate the LDAP users to Oracle user groups in web logic or do I expect too much?LDAP = what in your case, do you mean Active Directory .? or any other LDAP directory .?
You need to configure that in weblogic as one of the authentication providers if you have not done so yet, otherwise they cannot magically appear in WLS console.
So I am assuming you are expecting too much if you have not configured and trying to look for LDAP users. Let us know if you have already configured one but having trouble managing these users.
If the functionality (allocating LDAP users to groups) exists in the oracle web logic console,Even though you configure LDAP users in WLS , you cannot assign LDAP users to LDAP groups in WLS since you have to do that in your LDAP not in WLS.
why does this functionality also in the Oracle BI Publisher Admin screen?Oracle BI Publisher security is managed by Fusion middleware security model not Weblogic , so to get the LDAP users to BIP you need to integrate OBIEE security to BI Publisher.
Hope this helps. ! Mark if it does.
Thanks,
SVS

Problems with pages and mail merging from Address Book

hey guys. I have just created an invitation using one of the templates in Pages. this template is for four postcard size invites on one sheet of A4. i want to merge addresses from my address book. i can do the merge except that rather than four different contacts on each page i end up with four of the same on each page before it moves on the next contact on the next page. what i want to do is for it to merge one address per postcard. in Word i would put 'next' as the last field in the merge fields but i cant find a similar command in Pages. please can some advice?

I don't use Address Book for mail merging, but I tested this on a four page document and it worked for that so maybe it will work for your postcards. First, do your merge with full size pages and one address per page. Then in the print menu select Layout (drop down from Copies and Pages) and set it for 4 per Page (any direction you wish). That should print four different addresses on one sheet.
