Dear Experts,
i'm trying to accomplish the following. I need to generate 350+ confidential documents which will be distributed.
On these Documents there should be a personal Watermark with the name of recipient.
I was asking myself if this can be done similar to a mail merge. If I have the wordfile ready and I have an excel List with the Names, can i create 350 Documents each with the name as watermark out of this word template?
Many thanks for any tipps,
P.

Add a watermark only to selected pages
To add a watermark only to certain pages, those pages need to be in a separate section. You can break down a document into parts using section breaks and apply a watermark only to that section. Unlink the sections, before you apply a watermark so the sections don’t automatically copy each other. See how tocreate section breaks.
Place the cursor on the page (after the section break) where you want the watermark to appear.
