Populate and create customised documents in Pages on iPad
There are several ways to populate merge fields in a single document. On iPad or Mac, you can drag a Contact card over the desired merge fields. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, you can create multiple customised documents by merging information from a Contact group or Numbers spreadsheet, and preview how individual information populates before merging.

Go to the Pages app
on your iPad.In Split View, open a document with existing merge fields, then open the Contacts app.
Touch and hold the Contact card with the information you want to use to populate the merge fields, then drag the card to the desired field on the document canvas.
All fields of the same type (Sender or Recipient) within the document populate with the Contact card information.
