Go PDF.... Ted will prolly chime in here, but he helped me get started using the dynamic method of fillable PDF forms... You can create what is called an FDF file which is like a merge file for your base PDF. I wrote code that does this and I just bypass any automation or merging - just create the file, link it in code to the master PDF, then when you open the PDF it fills in the fields based on the FDF. I can email you the code off list if you like... Screw Word...
