Mail Merge

Essential DocIO lets you perform mail merge functionalities on templated documents filled with placeholders called mail merge fields. DocIO can open these templates in memory and replace the fields with data from your custom data sources.

Using the mail merge functionality offered by Essential DocIO, mailing labels can be easily generated and printed. A main document is merged with a data source, which contains the information that is specific to each mailing label. The document content in the mail merge with group markers will be automatically repeated for every record in the data source.

Fields can also be defined in templates as placeholders for images.

Personalized letters created from mail merge, referred to as letter formatted documents, can be created from a pre-formatted template, in Essential DocIO.

Using the Mail Merge feature, custom envelopes can be created for mass mailing. The return address can be the same on all the envelopes, while the destination address can be different in each one.

Map Data Fields

Using map data fields option, the template document and the data source with different data field names can easily be mapped.
