Excel information in PDF with a password
 
Hi friends,

at times I may need to send mass mails which could be confidential in nature.

For example, I may need to send pay hike letters to A,BC,D and E with
different salaries, the letter format being the same.

Now, normally I could use the regular mail merge facility between word and
excel and send the letters as a word attachment. (using merge to email).
This could be opened by anybody. Thus an unauthorized person may get to see
the contents of the letter.

Can I do the following?

1. Mail merge into a PDF doc? This is basically to make it difficult to
alter the contents, if not impossible.
2. Have a password for each recipient which only the recipient knows?

Is this possible?
Regards
Krishna

I don't know if I understand you correctly...

Are you sending all of the attachments to all of the people?

Yeah, as an attachment and to only to a limited list of people and not to
all. It could be a salary hike letter in a standard format with various
fields like name, basic pay, conveyance allowance and so on. Excel will
have the name, salary break up and the email of the recipient. The
information should merge into a PDF attachment and be delivered into the mail
box of the recipient. The intended recipient should be able to open the
attachment with a password that is unique.

An example is you receive statements of your credit card which you open with
your PIN.

Now is this possible? If so how?

This will greatly help reducing printing work whenever there is a pay hike.

sai krishna
