Can you automatically export Adobe form information into Excel?

TPanchella Nov 17, 2011 12:59 PM

This question pertains to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.0.

My form's purpose is to collect client information (name, address, title, etc.) I have a Submit button that, when pressed, automatically sends the completed form to a designated person.

My question is: When I click the Submit button, can I also have the information in the form automatically populate an Excel spreadsheet?

I know how to export the information using the Forms/Manage Form Data/Export Data function.

Thank you in advance!

If the Excel spreadsheet is defined as a local ODBC resource then it's
possible to write a script that populates it with data from the PDF file,
but that's quite complex and would only work in Acrobat version 9 or
earlier. Beside that there isn't a way to automatically populate an
existing Excel file.
