PDF Mail Merge Mapping Setup
Budget: £20 – £250 GBP
I have a collection of fillable PDFs—more than a dozen—that need to pull text, numbers, and date values directly from a master Excel sheet. The forms share a common core layout, yet each one includes slight tweaks in field names or positions, so I need individual mapping files rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
What I will supply
• The Excel workbook containing all source data
• Every PDF form in its current, fillable state
What I am looking for
You will create the mapping files used by Adobe Acrobat’s mail-merge workflow (FDF/XFDF, an Acrobat Action, or a JavaScript-based mapping—whichever you prefer) so that each row in the spreadsheet generates a completed, flattened PDF ready for distribution.
Acceptance criteria
• Every field—regardless of whether it holds text, numbers, or dates—auto-populates correctly for each record in the sheet
• A separate, functioning mapping file (or action) for every PDF variant provided
• Clear, written steps for how I run the merge on my side in Acrobat without additional software
If you have questions about specific field names or notice better ways to streamline the merge, let me know early so we can lock down a smooth workflow.
