PRINTING MERGED DOCUMENTS
I created a mail merge document that is 12 pages long on approximately 500
records. The resulting document is 6000 pages long. i need to print the 12 pages for each record individually to a pdf creator. I chose file/print/ pages 1-12 or -- pages 1,2,3,4,5..... etc and the entire 6000 pages print. bhutch |

PRINTING MERGED DOCUMENTS
If you have Acrobat you can merge directly to Acrobat from the Acrobat
add-in. If you don't have Acrobat but have Word 2007 - see the add-in at http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm If you have neither, see the macros at http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm and print the resulting files to the PDF driver. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org bhutchinson wrote: I created a mail merge document that is 12 pages long on approximately 500 records.

As far as Word is concerned, your resulting document does not consist of pages 1 to 6000, but of sections 1 to 500 with each consisting of pages 1 to 12.

PRINTING MERGED DOCUMENTS
What you say is correct, but it is easier to merge directly to Acrobat than
to attempt to manually print 500 print jobs. The main issue revolves around whether the PDF creation tool can be programmed to output named documents without user intervention, and while this is no problem for Acrobat or the Word 2007 add-in, most if not all of the free PDF tools require user intervention to name each file. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ..
