PDF form with 3 data records

I am working with a pdf file which is an experience log
with room for 3 appraisal log records on the page. I have
an Excel file that contains one row for each record, with
all of the applicable information for each record.

In the form, the field names for the data in the first record,
which would correspnd to the data in the first row, end
with the "Row1" after the field name. For the second and
third records on the page, the field names end with
"Row1_2" and "Row1_3" respectively. The data for these
two records is id located in rows 2 and three of the excel file.

My guestion is how do I get the data from the Excel file into the
appropriate record location .. i.e. Row1, Row1_2, etc. when the
date for each record in the Excel file is in a sepreate row.

Secondly, my Excel file contains approximately 300 entries, and the
PDF form has room for 3 records. Is there a way to import this data
from Excel, and after the first page of the form is completed, add
additonal pages of the same form, until all the record data has been
imported from the Excel file to a PDf of approximatley 100 pages.

Thanks for your help .. its greatly appreciated.

I, too, have a similar question--I would like to do something like a Word "mail merge" with a particular form. I have a database of individuals and information that I have already collected, and I need to put it onto the new "official" form that my employer is using. How do I "mail merge" it into the appropriate fields (i.e. name, date of birth, SSN, etc.)?
