mail merge to MAPI as a PDF attachment
I need to send out docs to people that have been tailored with their name and
other info from a database but I want the docs to be sent as a pdf attachment. I have Office 2003 and Acrobat 6 Pro. I have already successfully send out docs as a mail merge .doc file in Outlook, but I want the document I created sent as a PDF file attachment. How is this done? Do I do the mail merge to the distiller printer and then mail them? Is there a way to automate the whole thing? If there's an answer it's not obvious. TIA. Mike |

This was posted to the mailmerge newsgroup a while back:
Quote pdfMachine is a PDF writer with a "word mail merge feature". It uses an existing Word merge document to produce individual pdf's for emailing. http://www.pdfmachine.com/pdfmachine...il_merge.shtml Unquote I have no knowledge of it. It would be possible to modify the application in the article "Mail Merge to E-mail with Attachments" at: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm to do that by incorporating preliminary operation that printed the document created by each record in the mailmerge to the distiller printer as a separate document, assigning a filename to it that is stored in one of the field in the data set. -- Please respond to the Newsgroup for the benefit of others who may be interested. Questions sent directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis. Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP "MikeG" wrote in message ...
