Importing Tab Delimited Data to Populate and Create Individual Forms for Each Row of Data

Why yes, you can do this. What you are asking about is called a varible data operation. And it is a very common thing to do. This functionality is not a built-in feature of Acrobat, rather, it's something associated with large scale 3rd party applications. You can even buy special printers that do variable data printing.

But there is a fairly simple way to script this operation in Acrobat.

Check out this article:

pt

I've also written about and have tools and examples for Excel and variable data on my membership site:

I have scripts here that do direct imports using the "doc.importTextData()" function. Which is less generic than the technique shown in the first article, but is specifially designed to work with Tab delimited files.

This function is actually pretty easy to use, but you have to know the path to the data file up front. The technique is to loop over calling this fucntion until it returns an error code. Of coure the code has to save the file to a new name on each itteration.

I've done many projects using this technique, including one that also automaticall emailed the PDFs.

Having trouble, Why Doesn't my Script Work

This type of action is also known as a Mail Merge. I've developed a script that allows you to easily do it in Acrobat. Have a look here for more info: Acrobat -- Mail Merge and Email

Thank you both. Will do some digging in the materials you both referenced. I did have that d'oh moment when you referenced this as a mail merge. The mechanics are the same. Cheers.
