AutoMailMerge™ is a plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat® (http://www.evermap.com/AutoMailMerge.asp) for performing PDF mail merge - filling PDF forms with data. Mail merge is a computer term describing the production of multiple documents from a single template form and a data file. This technique is used to create personalised letters, documents, bills and pre-addressed envelopes or mailing labels for mass mailings (or document creation) from a database of names and addresses.
