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.

The advanced Mail Merge capabilities of DocIO makes it an ideal reporting solution for dynamically generating richly formatted invoices.

DocIO offers two events for Mailmerge to enhance and cusotmize its use and functionality. They are:

• MergeField - Used to enhance and format the merge fields that are in the document.
• MergeImageField - Used for fomatting merged images.
