I'm trying to import a text file which has been exported from excel and populate the fields in my Acrobat form. All is perfect, bar one thing, it seems to be that Acrobat can only handle 100 entries? Is that correct or is there away I can allow it to contain more, ie, a thousand as I have a big database of entries? :-)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.1.1, Windows

I was frustrated with trying to create a mail merge with a .pdf. I found a way to export the data from all the fields but couldn't figure out a way to have one spreadsheet with all the data and be brought back into the same form and then print all the forms out.

I DID find a workaround though....

I took the .pdf and brought it into InDesign (CS4) then used ID to create a mail merge from my source file.

You could do something similar with M$ Word where you just use a "photo" of the form in the background then place your data fields on top.

Don't know if this helps but it's been a month and nobody has answered your question....
