My pdf form is rather extensive, but it would be handy to have some of the information collected (just a few fields only) saved into another document as a record. I don't mind if the format is another pdf or even just an excel spreadsheet. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this? Thank you
You will need Acrobat DC Pro (the only version that Adobe is currently selling or selling a subscription for). Acrobat Reader is literally only for reading, and filling out forms.

This can be done with Acrobat Pro:

Yes, export an .fdf file from within Acrobat Pro.
Create a new .pdf with the fields you want. Spell them exactly the same.
Import the .fdf to populate the fields.
Also, inside of Acrobat, you can export the fields from one or many filled out forms to report.csv and open that in Excel. Delete or filter as you wish. They don't have to be open when you export them.

I only have Adobe Acrobat Reader DC - if there is no other way then I'll have to upgrade
