Quick answer
How do you create multiple admit cards from Excel?
Keep one student per row in Excel or CSV. Create an admit card template with variables such as {{student_name}}, {{class}} and {{roll_number}}. Upload both files to DataToPDF and generate separate PDFs for every student.
The real problem
Making admit cards manually takes more time than it should
School office teams, coaching institutes and exam coordinators often have the same problem before every test: one design, but hundreds of students with different names, roll numbers, exam centres and reporting times.
Too many individual files
Opening, editing, saving and renaming every student document becomes exhausting.
Last-minute changes
When reporting time or centre changes, the whole process has to be repeated.
The manual method
The usual Word mail merge workflow
Microsoft Word mail merge can work for simple situations, but it becomes difficult when you need individual print-ready PDFs, clean file names, changing exam details or reusable templates.
- 1Prepare the Excel student list.
- 2Create an admit card layout in Word.
- 3Connect Word with the Excel sheet.
- 4Insert merge fields and check every field.
- 5Preview multiple student records.
- 6Export and separate documents into individual PDFs.
- 7Rename, organise, print and share the files.
