How to mass update pricing in Acrobat Catalog

We have an existing Acrobat Catalog, but the pricing is out of date. We have new pricing associated with the same parts in excel. How do I mass update pricing without doing one by one?

When you say "Acrobat Catalog", I assume you mean a catalog in the form of a PDF file. Unless the pricing data was stored as form fields, there is no easy way to update the data in the file.

Do you know if your catalog is a static PDF file, or does it contain form fields?

I am new to Adobe PDF development. How would I determine whether or not data was created in form fields?

You can open it in Adobe Acrobat and then select Tools>Forms>Edit - if you see any form fields where your price data is, then you are in luck. If you don't see any form fields, then you will have to use the same process that was used to generate the old version of the catalog. I assume you were not involved with that project. Is there anybody around you can ask how the old version was generated?

Can you share the file with us?
