Hi.
Is it possible to create a template for a Word or PDF document with placeholders to be replaced by text fields of a database ?
And remove the placeholders (including title) if the DB fields are empty ?
For each record of the DB one section in the document, so it must iterate though the table
TIA

that indeed is possible using a Mail Merge technique

if you mean the mail merge from word, I know that. It's the functionality I want to replace with just a button in a separate application.
