Sending 450 Emails with unique PDF attachments/email addresses easily?

I have 450 unique PDFs to send to 450 different people. Each PDF belongs to one person.
I have one message template, of course, which says something like:
"Dear [Person's Name]
[Message Content]
Best regards,
[My name]"
(PDF as attachment)
What's the easiest/best/fastest way to accomplish this? Can Mail do it? Do I need other software for it?

I don't have experience with doing this using iWork, but there's third party software for this. Serial Mail is a cheap solution that lets you actually compose the message template in Mail. It should work OK for a few hundred messages if the attachments are reasonably small. Professional bulk mail sending software applications usually do not depend on Mail. I've been using Mailings for quite some time. It does its job reasonably well, but it crashes quite often. The developer was always being helpful, but never actually resolved the issues. I still feel that it's more reliable for sending thousands of messages then pushing them through Apple Mail. Other popular bulk mail software products are: MaxBulk Mailer and Direct Mail, I haven't tried either of these, they cost more and might be more reliable, but if you visit MacUpdate you'll see that both have mixed reviews at best.
All of these should allow you to customize messages including attachments (Serial Mail and Malings certainly allow it). Another option would be a web-based service like MailChimp (I believe that you can use MailChimp for free for less than 1000 messages).
An important caveat: If you want unique messages, each of them needs to be sent individually, and that may take quite some time if the attachments are large. So whatever method you choose, make sure that those PDFs are optimized.

  • Please help, I'm unable to send an email with a pdf attachment

    We have Windows 8 Pro on the pc, I have been trying to send a pdf document that my husband needs to his work and no matter how I try to send it (either from reader or directly from my email with the attachment it just will not send.  Can anyone please help?

    No worries.  But it is strange that you cannot even send email with a PDF attachment from Microsoft Mail.  At this point, no PDF viewers (e.g. Microsoft Reader, Adobe Reader Touch) are involved because you are not viewing PDF files.
    Instead of saying "It won't send", you need to describe exactly what you see on the screen for every step. Where does the problem start? 
    Step 1: Attaching a PDF file to new email in Microsoft Mail
    Are you able to find the PDF file and attach it to new email?
    Step 2: Sending email with a PDF attachment
    What happens when you click the Send button?  Does it hang forever?  Does it show an error message? Could you confirm that you can send email with other type of attachments (e.g. text file, Word file) from Microsoft Mail from the same PC?
    You can provide the details to Microsoft for troubleshooting.
    Alternatively, you can try to send email with the PDF attachment from other accounts like Gmail (Google Mail) or Yahoo Mail via the web browser (Internet Explorer) interface.
    Sometimes, rebooting your system solves "mysterious" problems, too.
    Good luck!

  • Pls help:sending oracle reports with desformat=spreadsheet to email

    Is there a way to send the reports with desformat=spreadheet to email(destype=mail). I tried to execute the commandline with destype=mail desname=[email protected] desformat=spreadsheet but I am getting a report with html type attachment. How could I make it xls(excel) instead of html

    When having lots of repeating frames and fields placed in a complex pattern, the Oracle Reports doesn't know how to place them in the .xls cells.
    You ought to have a second layout for the report (containing the same data) that would print when the desformat = spreadsheet and would be be rather simple in comparison to the one that would print when desformat=pdf/html.
    In case you have several repeating frames it is best to have all the fields in those frames placed and vertically aligned on the same row in the layout, from left to right. This should give a reasonable output.

    I got an email with a pdf.  Is it possible to move it into Pages and be able to edit it?

    You can import the pdf as an image but it is not editable.
    If you are after the text, open it in Preview and copy the text and paste it wherever you want, or open it in Adobe Acrobat Pro and convert it into a Word .doc.

  • Hi, this morning I tried to send an email with several photo attachments about 32 megs in JPEG formmat. when I sent them the wheel just went round

    Hi this morning I tried to send an email with 4 Jpegs photos about 32 meg in size.  Hit the send button and it would not send just went round and round for 30 min.  Turned off the computer and restartednow I can't access mail on the computer and when in mail mode the quit mail button is greyed out so I can't quit and restart the mail program.  My icon shows no mail on the dock yet I know I have 80  plus emails to wade through.  Using 2008 MacBook Pro with version 10.6.8. Any help would be appreciated?  Looked through the help screens with no luck.  Thanks Doug.

    Thanks Sig for your input.  Yes my ISP says about 27 meg but didn't know this, prior to sending the email.  How do I break up the email.  Two, when I do break up the email message will it stop the sent message wheel from going round & round, has been doing this now for 3 hours.  [email protected]

  • Emails with MS word attachments not arriving, but Pages attachments okay

    When I send an email with a Word attachment that was originally created in MS Word (v 11.3.5), the email does not arrive at its destination. I've started bcc'g myself to doublecheck and it seems consistent, no matter where it is going. It shows up as "Sent" in the mailbox, but the recipient never receives it.
    However, when I create the document in Pages, then convert it to a Word document using "Export" in Pages, then attach it to an email, the email goes through without a problem.
    Just now, I created the document in Pages, converted it using "Export", then edited it a bit while it was in Word. When I sent the email as an attachment, it disappeared again and did not arrive at its destination. This is really scary, because I have frequently sent people emails and assume that they are arriving (the email shows up in my "Sent" mailbox, but just disappears into cyberspace somewhere.)
    Is this a glitch with Word or Mail? It started happening about 4 months ago, and I have already tried re-installing Word. That seemed to fix it for awhile but it's just happened again.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    For gigabyte-class file transfers, you'll really want to use a different path — that message size is easily approaching a denial-of-service scale message size, if not exceeded it.
    If you really want to try doing attachments of that size and all the intervening SMTP servers support it, then try setting the message size manually via something like the (untested) following commands:
    sudo postconf -c /Library/Server/Mail/Config/postfix  message_size_limit  -e  "message_size_limit = 10485760"
    sudo postfix reload
    Or to whatever specific attachment size you want to try to use.  The unit is in bytes.
    The other Postfix setting that tends to get involved here is mailbox_size_limit, as well as whatever quotes might be in use for the specific users.

  • HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS (WITH SAME MESSAGE) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR NAME BUT NOT WHO ELSE IS GETTING IT

    HOW TO SEND PERSONALIZED EMAILS WITH THE SAME MESSAGE, BUT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENT'S NAME... (OR NAME AND THE EMAIL ADDRESS) TO ALL ADDRESSES IN THE ADDRESS BOOK - WITH RECIPIENTS SEEING ONLY THEIR OWN NAME WITHIN THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE TO THEM ?
    ALSO, HOW TO ELIMINATE ALL THE OTHER NAMES FROM THE LIST - SO THEY CAN NOT SEE WHO ELSE IS ON THE MAILING LIST, AND WHO ELSE IS GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE?

    In the csv file, the column headers must match the the special references in curly brackets.
    So you either change the column header in .csv file or the bit in the curly brackets in the Template email.
    To change the column header:
    In the example shown below, I wanted to use the first two columns
    'First Name', 'Last Name' note the exact spelling.
    I also wanted the email address which was in a column called 'Primary Email'.
    To make it easier for me, I copied the Primary Email column and inserted it into the third column position and then changed the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email'. (This meant I still had the original column header just in case). see image below.
    But you could just change the column header name from 'Primary Email' to 'Email' without moving column about - up to you.
    At this point check that all the contacts do have a valid email address.
    then save the file.
    If you do not want to edit the .csv file, then you need to edit the template email.
    eg: {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Email}}>
    change to : {{First Name}} {{Last Name}} <{{Primary Email}}>
    If still having an issue, please post two images.
    One image needs to show the row of column headers used in .csv file.
    The other image needs to show the Template email, so I can see how you have used the curly brackets.
