Also, can i run mailmerge on many pdf files in a folder with first file getting the input fields fro the first data line in the tab delimites txt, then the second pdf getting data from 2nd data line in the txt, etc...?<br /><br />Thank you in advanceBerdj Boyadjianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299117530111997109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6416123151414236287.post-86971815564337526612022-10-18T12:51:57.074-07:002022-10-18T12:51:57.074-07:00- Flattening needs to be done using a separate Act...- Flattening needs to be done using a separate Action now, due to a problem in Acrobat DC.

It works great for us that the fields are not flattened, as we want recipients to be able to update the fields we are pre-populating for them and complete the form fields that are not pre-populated. I need to check out a couple things:<br />1. What is the maximum number of characters allowed for the email message field?<br />2. If I do not check the auto-send box, are the prepared emails saved in the DRAFTS folder (Outlook)?<br />Thank you.

Yes, my tool does work on...@The Morning Confessions<br />Yes, my tool does work on Mac computers, and it can do pretty much everything you've described. The only problematic part would be to email the files after they were flattened, as the email address field would be lost at that point... But there might be some ways around it. The mailing is done using the default email client that is set up in Acrobat. That can be a local application (such as Mail) or a web-site (such as Gmail).<br />Please contact me privately to discuss it further.<br />Gilad D.

I wanted to use Adobe mailmerge plugin but I am told it doesn’t work on a Mac?? I have a Mac and have MS office and Adobe creative suite. Wondering if your plugin will allow me to auto populate the PDF fields Of the certificate, flatten to prevent editing/copy, and mail them to recipients using the emails on the excel sheet where their names and licenses are listed? Please advise. Does to it tool mail these automatically as well? Does it connect to my Mac mail? Gmail? How does it do the mailing? Thank you.

In fact, the input file is a plain-text file, not really an Excel file, so it won't contain any font information anyway.<br />And Acrobat can certainly create a field that uses Calibri. You just need to scroll down the list until you find it. I'm happy to help you set it up, if you wish.<br /><br />GiladGilad D.

However, Adobe fails to send any emails. I tried seeing if Adobe had emailing enabled - and it does, if I have a single pdf open, I can email it from within Adobe, and it just opens up a new apple mail message with the pdf already attached. So it must be an issue with the script and I would like some help please.
