    Batch exportData from multiple PDFs to XML ?

    aufer Community Member

      All:

      I have 100+ fillable PDFs each with different content that I would like to export into separate XML files.

       

      Is there a way either in Acrobat software or VBA to open each one of the PDFs and save the data ( xfa.host.exportData ) ?

       

      More Info :

      • Each PDF has a button to [Export to XML] which calls the xfa.host.exportData
      • The original was created with LiveCycle 8.2
      • The PDFs are all XFA forms with Reader extensions.

       

      I downloaded the Acrobat SDK but am lost as to how I can automate the process.

      Tried some code picked up from this forum in Excel VBA but it crashes on the Show ( set AcroXApp = CreateObject("AcroExch.App")   AcroXApp.Show )

       

      My environment is Windows XP using MS Office 2007. Acrobat Pro 9 and LiveCycle 8.x ES

       

      Thanks
