4.0 out of 5 stars Auto-fill Acrobat forms, optionally auto-email/fax it out .., January 8, 2003

By A Customer

If you have a multi-page Acrobat Form and want to automatically fill the form with data from your databases, optionally emailing/faxing it, PF-Merge will do that job for you, without programming. It also merges images!

Thought I share the above freely downloadable treasure with my fellow Cyberfriends. PF-Merge supports over 15 database platforms and its utilities do not time-out.
