Mail merge using Java

With our Java solution you can create documents, personalized for each recipient, using the Mail merge feature in Java. To do this, just use the Mail merge template and data from the customer data source.

A merge template is a document with merge fields – special fields where you want personalized data from your data source to be inserted. As a merge template, use a PDF or Word document in DOC or DOCX format with special merge fields.

The data source is the data store from which data is pulled during the Mail merge operation to personalize your documents.

Generate reports

You can also build reports using the Mail merge operation. Just create a Mail merge template with merge fields that will be used for report generation and select the data source. You can even generate reports from excel data if you collect it there. So you see how easy it is to generate reports in Java.
