Adobe mail merge file name
When using Adobe Acrobat to perform a mail merge, you'll need to save your document with a specific file name to ensure that the merge process works correctly. Here are some guidelines:
File name format:
The file name should follow this format:
[Document Name]_[Merge Field].pdf
Where:
[Document Name]
is the name of your document (e.g., "Invoice", "Letter", etc.)[Merge Field]
is the name of the merge field you're using (e.g., "Customer Name", "Order Number", etc.)
Example file names:
Invoice_Customer Name.pdf
Letter_Order Number.pdf
Brochure_Product Name.pdf
Why this format?
Adobe Acrobat uses the file name to identify the merge fields and their corresponding values. By including the merge field name in the file name, you're telling Acrobat which field to replace with the actual data during the merge process.
Tips:
- Make sure to use a consistent file name format throughout your document.
- Use underscores (
_
) to separate the document name from the merge field name. - Avoid using special characters or spaces in the file name, as they may cause issues during the merge process.
By following these guidelines, you'll be able to perform a successful mail merge using Adobe Acrobat.
