Our Province is doing a Municipal Asset Management project where they are having us record our infrastructure and assets into a series of forms. In Phase 1 the forms were all MS Word and I exported our GIS Data into Excel books and mail merged it, allowing me to autofill a few hundred asset forms in a few minutes. This also allowed me to make quick updates as we brought in more data. Now they sent us PDF forms of which I figured out how to use mail merge to make an xml scheme that I can import into the PDF form auto filling it but I have 2 issues I need some advice on to work around. One is there are check boxes for Yes/No and I cannot figure away to make a field entry trigger the check box or write it out into xml properly. Second a few forms are tables so instead of each row in my mail merge being one form one form is displaying many rows. When I try to use mail merge to make an xml I end up with a new xml scheme for each row when I need it to write each row to a row in the PDF form. Anyone have experience using tabular data to fill out PDF forms that could guide me?
