I am creating a survey in Adobe 8 Pro and have about 500 forms to insert data into before they are sent out. I have a excel workbook file that contains the information I want to add into the forms and I would like to merge them. However, I can only merge an XML schema file or something and I don't know where to go from here. I believe if it works correctly I can connected the specific fields with the columns in excel and I should have 500 forms created. Let me know what I should do. Thanks

Your tool of choice should be Adobe LiveCycle Designer that ships with Acrobat Pro on Windows only. Create the form in Designer and create a data connection to the fields from the database file.

Sorry I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer, but I the data file I have isn't an excel schema or any of the other choices, so I can't make the data collection work. Let me know what I should do. Thanks.
