I need help!! I have 300 data entry saved as tabular data in a txt file. This data collection has 3 columns. (id, name, degree). I've created a PDF form that has the matching fields names. What I want to do is, create indivual pdf file for each row from txt file data. I used "import data" feature but this only gives me one PDF at a time with no automation. Can I do this in a batch process fashion? Is there any way? Thank you.

Hello,
The documentation on Adobe's site does not contain the required sample files: FormsBatch.pdf, ADBCdemo.pdf, ADBCdemo.mdb. Very frustrating. Do you know where I can get them?
Thanks, BobM

If you're using Acrobat X, don't bother. The ADBC object has been removed from this version.

The "Populate a form and save it" sequence uses an “intelligent” PDF form, and queries a database based on information given in certain fields in the form. For each line of data that satisfies the query, the batch sequence populates the form with that data and saves the form to a pre-selected folder. This batch sequence creates a populated PDF form for each line of data that is returned by the query.
