I'm new with Acrobat and I need to do something similar like merge mail in MS Office. My users introduce data in a Excel spreadsheet, I have several Word documents with linked fields, so when they open the Word documents, the fields are filled with the data.
Well, I've created a form (.PDF) in Acrobat Pro 8 which the users can fill (user rights enabled). How can I link that fields with anothers PDF documents in order to fill them automatically?
The only way I've seen is using import data in a text field, but it only allows me from a .fdf file, and I don't know how I can create one.
Thanks,

If your users are only using Adobe Reader, then you can't because the only way to save data is to a PDF, not to a data file or source. Enabling user rights only allows you to save data like that unfortuantely.

OK, my users can save data in excel or whatever other type of document like now, how could I import that data in a PDF text field when I open the document automatically?
Thanks again,
