Adobe does not directly offer any such mail merge plugin for Acrobat. Acrobat's PDFMaker does support mail merge from Word, but there is no mail merge supporting only a PDF file and external data as part of Acrobat.

I believe you can find third party scripts and plugins that do provide such support, but not from Adobe itself.

Ok, that is a plugin FOR Acrobat but like most Acrobat plugins it’s made by someone completely different. (That’s the main idea of plugins). Adobe probably have no knowledge of it, and even if they heard of it, they can’t support it. So you need to ask the makers, someone called Evermap. Good luck!

Instead of purchasing and downloading and installing scripts or plug-ins, the BEST solution I found was simply using Adobe InDesign. I had hundreds of names I needed to import from an Excel spreadsheet onto an award certificate made in Word and later converted to PDF. It was messy doing it in Word because Word isn't much of a designer's tool as you know. It was a mess in Acrobat because Acrobat doesn't have a native plugin to do it smoothly. I found out InDesign does AND is a designer's tool. I imported my PDF design into InDesign without much issue at all and followed these instructions and it works great!

Easy to follow instructions here:

This video is great too in explaining more of the process:

I hope this helps others.

Data Merge is a brilliant time-saver feature in InDesign that allows you to automate and batch create variations on a layout. In this video, you will learn how to quickly generate multiple business cards with the names and details of each of the employees of a company using a text file and an ...

Hello,

I need to send the merged documents to the email addresses that are merged into the PDFs. Will InDesign do this?

I was able to use word to create the merged documents from excel, save it as a PDF and then split that into individual files. But I have 75 individual files and I'm looking for a way to automate the generation of individual emails to each recipient with their unique PDF certificate.

I purchased the EverMap AutoMailMerge, the problem is that the PlugIns option doesn't show up in the upper left in Adobe Acrobat DC Pro and I can't proceed without that.

My (paid-for) Mail Merge script allows you to automatically send an email with the merged file attached to it to each recipient, if there's a field that contains the email address in the merged data, of course.
