Running a Mail Merge via Action Wizard with AutoMailMerge™

This tutorial shows you how to run a mail merge via the Action Wizard using the AutoMailMerge™ plug-in for Adobe® Acrobat®. Adobe Acrobat® Professional DC offers a powerful way for automating repetitive tasks. This functionality is called “Action Wizard”and is also known as “Batch Processing” in previous versions of Adobe Acrobat (prior to version X). It allows the user to define a series of PDF document processing commands (called "actions") with specific settings and in a specific order. Actions can be applied to one or more files, or to the entire contents of a folder.
