Mail merge to PDF adds extra page

I am using Acrobat 9 Pro on an XP platform (sp2), doing a mail merge from a MS Word (2003) document and sending by email.  The resulting PDF document attached in the email includes an extra, blank page.  Anyone seen this before?
The original document is a certificate and includes a border around the full page.
Thanks!

Since you are doing the mail merge from WORD, you can more simply just open the print menu and change the printer to the Adobe PDF printer. Then check the document to be sure there is only 1 page (There will probably be 2). Fix the page issue and do your mail merge. Changing the default printer is not required unless you are doing the conversion from outside WORD - changing in the print menu is adequate.

  • Importing MS Word into PDF adds extra page with document info

    I am still evaluating Acrobat Pro, including Life Cycle Designer to create Forms, currently testing converting existing forms made in MS Word to PDF. There is someting that I do not know how to resolve is when I import files from MS Word, an extra page with details info about the document is copied as well. It contains info such as number of pages, author, date of creation etc....20 lines of info.
    This becomes akward when inserting the document into an existing pdf...or just create a new form from the Word document....adds the extra page ..
    Is there a setup somewhere that I could modify to not have the extra info? or how do I delete it? I try to select the text but cannot (within life cycle)
    Thank you

    If you are importing into Designer, you should ask in that forum. If in Acrobat, then you might try printing the WORD document to a PDF first and importing the PDF. However, with Acrobat you will not get the form fields that you are preserving with Designer.

  • Help! Extending PDF adds duplicate pages

    I am creating a dynamic XML form.
    There are 2 sections in the form where the user may need to add additional pages, which I have added buttons for using instanceManager. Everything works just swell, until I open it in Acrobat to extend the features so that users can save data in the form. After I save it in Acrobat and open it back up again in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, it has taken the liberty to insert additional pages to one of the sections.
    I have checked to make sure that the Min Count is set to 1 and there is no Initial Count set. I did try setting Initial Count to 1, but it did not solve the issue.
    The extra pages can be removed using a "Remove Page" button I added to the form, but once the form is saved and re-opened, all the extra pages are still there.
    When I set the Max to 1 (in Object -> Binding), it does keep the extra pages from being automatically added, but then of course the user is unable to add extra pages.
    Help!

    That did the trick. Thanks so much!

  • How do I add extra pages to template documents in the new version of pages which carry over the same formatting, borders etc?

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Everything is a matter of degree! (Speaking for myself).

  • Problem with Mail Merge to PDF

    Hi there
    I'm having problems with the mail merge to PDF feature of Acrobat XI, in that the process fails part way through and displays the error message 'Acrobat PDFMaker was not able to mail merge the document':
    This process used to work, and still works for one of my colleagues. However I have tried using different PCs (32 bit and 64 bit Windows 7), different versions of Word (2010 and 2013) and different types of data source (Excel and Access) without success.
    I would really appreciate any further suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hi RV,
    pls. take a look to note 1226758 under point 4 where it says:
    4. Call SPAD and choose Settings -> Spool System -> Other. Select 'SP01: Number of Columns for List Display from Format'.
    Maybe you have to take care about point 1-3 , depending on which supp.package level you are. for my i have only changed the settings in SPAD, now it works.
    best regards, Martin

  • How can I add extra pages to newsletter templates.

    I know you can add extra pages by adding a section. But this is just a blank page, whereas I'd like to continue the design without having to reconstruct it myself every time. Is this no longer possible?

    Apple has removed the Captured Pages feature that was in previous versions of Pages (along with well over a hundred other features).
    Templates no longer have the internal master pages that made adding the extra designs possible. So all you can do is a clumsy duplication of pages from the original template, which entails opening a new version if you have already altered the one you opened previously.
    It makes a mockery of good UI design.
    If you want real functionality use Pages '09.

  • Mail Merge to PDF

    I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 Pro to send a merged word document to a list of email receipents.
    I have created two word files, the first works fine but the second I always get the error message that "Acrobat PDFMaker was not able to mail merge the document".
    The only difference between the two files is that the second has some additional merge feilds. Although it doesnt appear to relate to any specific additional field (no matter which field I add, as soon as there is a new field the merge fails).
    Does anyone have any suggestions about what might be causing the merge to PDF to fail?
    FYI, I can complete the mail merge in word no problem, and I can mail merge and email to receipents in word no problem. (The end result I am after is to send out to the email receipents a PDF file rather than an editable word doc).
    Thanks Shane

    Re: PDF Maker Mail Merge error
    I've had this same problem with one word document and I think I figured out what is going on, at least in my case. I'm using Word 2003. I tried a test of one merge record, and it worked, but when I tried to complete the entire merge, it failed. After trying several times to no avail, I noticed that the first word in my document had the red spell check underline, even though the word was not spelled wrong. When I placed my mouse cursor in front of the first letter of the word, the font information said "ZWAdobeF" and the size was 1. After I deleted this and tried the merge to e-mail through the Adobe plugin, it worked flawlessly. After the merge was completed however, that font reappeared in front of the first word in my document.
    I hope this helps some people out there.
    Also, I'm using Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional, Windows XP SP3.

  • Mail Merge to PDF Mailer

    When I mail merge from MS Word to Adobe PDF and select "Automatically send pdf files by email", the process works great. HOWEVER, the recipient receives a .dat file, not a pdf. Can anyone help with this issue?

    Here is the key..
    You need to disable the fancy outlook RTF format to avoid the winmail.dat / no attachment issue. The only way to do that for 3rd party plugins (acrobat) is to add a registry key.
    For Outlook 2010 (older versions, just change 14 to 10-12)
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Preferences 
    On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
    Type DisableTNEF, and then press Enter.
    Right-click DisableTNEF, and then click Modify.
    In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
    Exit Registry Editor.
    Restart the computer.

    Crazy problem.. I looked a bit foolish having to send my society's emails 3 times, but now things are golden.

  • Default file destination in Microsoft Word 2010 Mail Merge to PDF

    I'm using windows 2010, and Adobe Acrobat X Standard. 
    I have a mail merge template that I created in Microsoft Word 2010 that I use to send out multiple price quotes to customers who are bidding jobs.  When I merge to Adobe PDF everything works properly (everyone receives their unique PDF, etc.), but every time I do this Adobe requires that I select a destination folder for it to send the PDF's it generates that get attatched to the emails. 
    When I save a Word Doc as a PDF it automatically saves it in the same folder at the word document it was created from.  Is there a way I can set up my 'Merge to Adobe PDF' feature to do the same thing when it generates the merged PDF files?  It's just a hastle to map the entire file path of the desination folder every time I send out a quote.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Mail merge encrypted pdf's.

    Hi. I'm trying to generate pdf's using the mail merge feature in MS Word via the Acrobat PDFMaker Addin. I'm able to generate and send the pdf's without issue. The problem is that I can't restrict the recipients from editing the pdf's. I've set the security settings in the preferences menu. If I send a single pdf (no mail merge) it works fine. However, when I use the mail merge feature the document isn't encrypted.
    It's the same problem reported here only none of what's suggested works for me.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro 11.0.2 and MS Word 2010
    I'd apreciate your help.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried this already though. You can change the security settings in the printer menu (name?) but for whatever reason they're not being applied to the mail merge. I'm stymied.

  • Mail merge using PDF file and Excel spreadsheet

    How do I mail merge an existing PDF file (the template) with a 50-record text file exported from Excel to create 50 PDFs? I am using Adobe Acrobat XI. I could not find anything under TOOLS | FORMS that would allow me to do a mail merge. I was able to import the text file but it only produced one record.
    Since this is a pre-designed legal document, I do not want to recreate the PDF file in MS Word, then perform the mail merge in Word to PDF.
    From my online research it seems I will be forced to purchase an Acrobat plugin to perform this simple task.
    Am I simply overlooking something?
    Thanks.

  • Acrobat adds extra page

    When scanning from a Fujitsu scanner, using the color document option in Acrobat 9.1.3, Acrobat adds and extra page between scanned pages so instead of getting say a 3 page document I end up with 6.  It works normally using a black and white document.  Any suggestions.
    Thanks

    Look at the scanners settings. What scanner? My fujitsu scanners default setting is to scan the front and back of the pages. The blank pages may be the back of the sheets being scanned. The B&W preference file may be set for one-sided scanning.

  • Mail Merge - multipe records to a page

    I'm trying to print a legal size document with 4-up labels using 4 different mail merge feature without success.i.e. I have a mailing list of 150+ records that I am looking to print to the 4 labels on the legal sized document.
    Tried using the mulitiple records options in numeous ways without success... also tried placeholders in master without success...
    Any clues as to what I must be missing?
    Thanks in advance for any guidance!

    The problem is most likely that you have other stuff on the page.
    The multiple records per page function works by reproducing EVERYTHING on the page as many times as will fit using your spacing options. If there is boilerplate text, that probably is too large to allow any duplication.
    One way to handle this is to put that text on a master page, apply the none master to the merge template page, create one instance of the label in the upper left position, and merge. Once the document is merged you apply the master with the text to all pages. That will give you 4 different labels per page.
    If you want four copies of the sme label, copy the label block into the other three positions on the page and merge using one record per page. Under that scenario you can leave everything on the page instead of moving it to a master.

  • Can I mail merge into PDF

    Hello, I am looking for step by step instructions on how to mail merge data from Excel to a fillable PDF that I created using LiveCycle Designer. What I am trying to accomplish is to have a fillable form that is prefilled with certain information (employee name, date of hire, supervisor name, etc) I will then email these prefilled forms to each supervisor (each supervisor will have a separate fillable form for each of their staff member).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
