place field data into existing pdf document

    I'm relatively new to SQL, so please bear with me.

    I have a table that will have final customer information including addresses, etc. and we are required to place the information into an existing pdf document provided to us.

    I've done some searching, but I'm still a little lost. Does anyone have any advice where to begin? I'd like something that would be relatively simple to code if possible since I am a newbie.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    existing PDF's are just plain not editable, especially not from TSQL;

    you'll need to generate a new PDF instead.

    it's also possible to append two PDF's together, so PDF2 starts where PDF1 ended, but that's about all i think you can do.

    If they send you the original PDF, and it is not locked, you should be able to edit it and add the database link and binding.

    You will need Adobe Acrobat, possibly the Pro version, to make those changes.

    One other thing.....For each record we will need a separate pdf. (Basically, each customer has their own pdf).

    I have a trial of Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I'm able to link fields to a table and I can see the first record. But how would I be able to print all of them to separate pdf's?
