Mail Merge Document

Mail-Merge Document allows you to easily merge Data with a predefined Document Template and produce a PDF document.

The document template can be of different format like Word as docx or a PDF-Form with form fields.

To do a Mail-Merge follow this simple steps:

  1. Create Word-Template with MailMerge-Fields
    Use Microsoft Word and use its standard functionality to define MailMerge-Fields.
  2. Create List of Data to be merged with Template
    Use the same Field Names you use for the MailMerge-Fields.
  3. Call pdf4me Api with Word-Template and Data and get PDF
    Word-Template and Data will go in the same Api call. Every call could have its own Word-Template. You get back synchronously the generated PDF.
