Hello. I'm looking to write a script that will read an xml or tab delimited text file that imports each line of data and saves into a new pdf file. Each line in the xml/text file is a record and need to be its own pdf file. Any help would be appreciated.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

You can loop through a tab delimited text file and import data into a PDF document. You might need to create a second file with a button to hold the script and increment the record numbers, then save as a PDF file, or you might get it to work with a Batch Sequence. At the least you'll need to write a complicated script.

See the JavaScript Specifications manual for help in writinbg the script.

Hi!
I have almost the same problem, but using Acrobat 9. Is there any chance to reach this goal for a newbie like me???

Thanks.
