Importing data from excel to multiple pdf files

I have a scenario here, hope someone can help:

1) 5 columns of data from excel 

2) 100 individual pdf files 

 

I would need to import the 5 column data into the individual pdf forms, it is possible?  

 

I try to google for answer for an hour and could not find anything, hope, experts can help here.  Many thanks

This sounds like a job for Power Automate Desktop.  I haven't done what you are asking, but just pointing you to the right tool for the job IMO.
