Default Mail Merge to PDF

I want to create form letters to be sent to various entities. I have my
spreadsheet and I have the letter. I generally perform the mail merge, edit
the individual letters, copy and paste to create individual documents, then
save to PDF. This is a hassle. Is there an easier way to do this? I have
heard of the option to "Merge to Adobe PDF", or something like that. But this
button is not present.

Hi Drew,

To Merge to Adobe PDF, you'll need Adobe Acrobat Professional (v7 or later AFAIK) installed, on Word 2003 or later.

Hmm... So, basically, I have no options, then? (That is, other than to go
grab a load of cash and pay for the software...)

Hi Drew,

An alternative is to use an add-in or macro to split the merged document into separate files.

See: http://www.gmayor.com/individual_merge_letters.htm for examples of such utilities, and instructions on how to use them.
