Need software for making PDFs

[jjanders]

I have a large excel file, and each row has data pertaining to a different person in my organization. I'm looking for an application to create a PDF for each person, so it would create the 1st PDF and populate a form on the PFD with the data from the 1st row, 2nd PDF using data from the 2nd row, etc....

I have Adobe Acrobat, will this do it? What about other Adobe or non-Adobe applications?

It's sort of like doing a mail merge, we have a database with different data and we need to populate a skeleton PDF with each row of data from the database. We would possibly do a mail merge then convert the .docs to PDFS? We'd prefer to do it all in PDF but whatever can get the job done....

Any other suggestions?

It should be pretty easy to write a macro to pull the data and put it in it's own file, and then have acrobat work on the file.

Or, since you are using Excel as a database (which is isn't) bite the bullet and use a real database.
