How to create mail merge(feature in word) in adobe pdf and programmatically find and replace these t

I am very new to adobe.I am required to do the following and am very confused.The scenario is as follows:
I am required to create a letter template (using adobe designer) where name and few other details will be tags(which needs to be replaced by actual values according to the particular customer later on).We can create such a feature in word using mail merge feature available there.How do we do the same in pdf??Can it be done using adobe designer 7.0???If so,how?
After I create this template,I am required to write a javascript or a VB program to access this pdf template and find and replace these tags with the actual values and generate a pdf document.Somebody told me that this is to be done using adobe document server(ADS). Can this be done??If so,how?If not what is the alternative product in adobe?
There are so many adobe products that i am totally at sea and not able to figure out which to use and how.
Please help me at the very earliest.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Sowmya

Let me thank u for a prompt reply but I guess I still need ur help before I accomplish what I set out to do.
As per your reply I used Forms API in my vb program and it is accessing the fields but I am not able to change the property of the fields.
I created the pdf form using adobe designer 7.0 and have created a floating field which I want to populate using my code.This is invisible in the pdf template but I when I set the value for it using vb code I need to change its property to visible.
But when I try to change the "NoViewFlag" property, I get an error as follows:
Runtime error'-2147220988(80040204)
Document's Security Settings prohibit the operation being performed
Please give your suggestions.
2.Another question is how do I differentiate floating text field and ordinary text field in vb code because the type of both is displayed as text ??
Thanks again.
regards,
Sowmya
I am putting my code below for ur viewing.

How do i mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?

How do I mail merge with the new Pages and Numbers?
On Pages 09 I have a document that draws variable data from a spreadsheet created in Numbers.
With the new Pages and Numbers program update, my links are lost and I am unable to see how to correct this.

Thanks Peter,
very disappointing.
My Pages 09 keeps opening in the new one.
I dont think they want me to be a loyal customer anymore.
They changed Final Cut Pro, so now I use Premier Pro
Aperture 3 has been left behind so now I moved to Lightroom 4.
And now Pages 5 does not have a vital component, so back to Word.
Sad day
Thanks again

How to create Mail Folders?

Question
Does anyone know how to create mail folders for oganizing the inbox? I can't figure it out, but likely, the answer will be "you can't".
I'm not using an IMAP mail host, I have a pop account with Yahoo!Mail.
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks.

I can't figure it out, but likely, the answer will be "you can't".
How'd you know?
No, you cannot create folders on POP mail accounts on the iPhone. Let Apple know you would like to be able to do that.

HT202879 does numbers for mac have a mail merge feature

Will numbers for mac offer a mail merge feature?

Nicole Lynn,
Version 2 of Numbers (iWork '09) does have Mail Merge. If your profile is correct, that's probably what you are using. The instructions for using the feature are in the Pages User Guide PDF.
If your profile is out of date and you are using iWork '13 apps, you're out of luck. But, you can always go back to Version 2 of Numbers and Version 4 of Pages.

You can use a scanner to get user input from the command line.
import java.util.*;
public class Test {
    private List<Integer> list;
    private Scanner in;
    public static void main (String... args) {
        new Test ();
    public Test () {
        list = new LinkedList<Integer> ();
        in = new Scanner (System.in);
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
            System.out.format ("Please enter a number (%d more): ", (5 - i));
            list.add (in.nextInt ());

An Internet Explorer website can be opened using: app.launchURL("Website-Name", true);

Does it not just open it in the default HTTP viewer? If not, there certainly isn't a chrome-specific interface.

Can't covner word files to pdf. have acrbot 8 and win 7. HELP!

Need help troubleshooting why I can't convert word docs to pdf on new system. Had MS XP and now Win 7. Adobe Acrobat 8 is common program for conversion. HELP!

Acrobat uses Word to do the conversion. So the version of Word must be compatible with the version of Acrobat. Saving as an older DOC does not help that.
You can still print from Word to Adobe PDF, but not use PDFMaker if Acrobat and Office are not compatible. We can't say whether they should be because you haven't told us the version of Word, but see this page for a list of compatible versions Compatible web browsers and PDFMaker applications

How to use "Mail Merge for Word" to include only Account fields?

We're attempting to use the Mail Merge for Word template to create a document containing several fields from the Account object. We do not need any fields from the Contact object, and there are many contacts linked to each account.
When choosing "Get On Demand Data > Accounts", removing all the [Contacts] fields, selecting the necessary [Accounts] fields, then clicking "OK", a "List Download in Progress" window appears, followed by one that says "Microsoft Word - Subscript out of range". None of the [Accounts] fields are available in the downloaded data.
Can anyone tell me how to include the appropriate Account fields without any Contact fields (which pulls a separate Merge record for every Contact linked with the selected Account)?
Thanks.

Thanks for trying to help with this.
So far, we've been unable to pull even a SINGLE account record. So the problem is not related to data volume limitations. The tool seems to require that Contacts are selected, but for this application we only want a single merge document per Account.
If anyone else has had success using the Mail Merge for Word tool to pull only Account data, please give us your guidance. Thanks.

How do you do a mail merge in ms word?

Hello,
I have the form letter created in Word and my list of recipients are in an Excel sheet. How do I do the mail merge so that each letter is addressed to one individual from the excel sheet? Do I have to type each person's info in manually? I have over 200 records.
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions, Tiffany.
Use Tools/Mail Merge Manager and follow through the steps.
But that is not an Apple Mail and Address Book question!

I want to use a Thunderbird address book folder to mail merge into MS Word letter [name, address]. How to?

I recently migrated from Outlook 2010 to Thunderbird. I have contact folders. I publish a newsletter in MS Word. I want to mail merge my newsletter with now a specific contact database [folder] in the Thunderbird address book. So my question is, how to do this?

Unfortunately, the tight and smooth integration you have experienced between Outlook and Word is due to those two products having come from the same Office stable and having been designed from the outset for such interoperability. With Thunderbird coming from a third party author, there's not much incentive for Microsoft to support or encourage interchange of data between Office components and Thunderbird.
If you have Outlook and Word, what advantages do you anticipate in using Thunderbird? (Personally, I do exactly the same because I dislike Outlook and its Ribbon in particular). But I don't have much call for the sort of task you are attempting.
The long and short of it is that you'll probably have to export your TB Address Book to a format that your Word mail merge can use. Since I haven't tried this for myself in a long time, I don't know what Word can use. I'd hope that CSV would fit the bill.
If you are thinking about moving away from Microsoft Office, then you might look at Libre Office, which can, IIRC, use a data source such as Thunderbird's address book as a mail merge source. But this alone may not be a very good reason to move away from tools you know. :-S
