Need help: how to import tab-delimited .txt file into pdf form (Adobe Acrobat 9)

I would like to import data from an Excell spreadsheet into a pdf form (both created by me, with corresponding column/field names). I have saved the Excell file as tab-delimited .txt file and used the "Import Data" function in Adobe Acrobat 9, but it only works for one row from the .txt file at a time (but I have ca 140 rows in the txt file and would have to repeat the import and "save as" process 140 times).
I would like to know how to batch-import all the rows of the .txt file and how to automatically create the corresponding filled pdf forms, one pdf per one row from the .txt file. I have zero knowledge of programming (no Java) so I need a copy-paste solution, if there is one.
 
Thank you in advance for your help,
