Import multiple records into Acrobat

[heathlovell]

Hello,
I have Adobe 6.0 Pro. My document (one page) has about 20 different fields in it. I have a database for all of my employees. I would like to use Adobe to take my employee database from Access and create a document for each employee. I have tried to use import fields from a text file, but it only lets me do them one at a time. Is there anyway to automate the process? I can use VB or VBA if necessary.

Thanks for the help,
Heath

Have you come up with a solution yet? I'm looking to do the same, except pull from a mySQL database.

My thoughts are to 1) create an fdf file with the data and process it, or 2)use Acrobat's ADBC function to query the database directly.

Not yet. I realized I had 6.0 standard instead of Pro. I am waiting on my copy of Pro to arrive. I believe I will either do it with Javascript/ODBC or with VBA. Let me know if you have any luck before I do.
Thanks,
Heath

I am tryin gto do something similar
You can connect the pdf file dirrectly to access by using ADBC I am still reading up on it but you can do your own research by googling it.

Could you use Word to merge from the DB and then create PDF?
I guess most DBs aren't that pretty creating forms?
