Hi there
I wanna get straight to the problem:

I have a list of pdf field names on my excel sheet starting in cell A5.

I add values - pdf field values - to my excel sheet starting in cell B5

I want to:
Update the pdf document with the cell values on the excel sheet - starting in cell B5.

below code needs to be amended accordingly.

any help is highly appreciated.

Sub Write_PDF_Forms()

'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'This macro uses the data in sheet Write in order to fill a sample PDF form named
'Test Form, which is located in the same folder with this workbook. The data from
'each row is used to create a new PDF file, which is saved in the Forms subfolder.

'The code uses late binding, so no reference to external library is required.
'However, the code works ONLY with Adobe Professional, so don't try to use it with
'Adobe Reader because you will get an "ActiveX component can't create object" error.
