    How can I export a PDF form and the filled in fields to a text document?

      OK, so I have a situation.  I need people to be able to open a reader-enabled PDF form, fill out the form fields, and then export the filled-out PDF form to a basic text document.  This seems easy since Adobe Reader can save to text.  The problem is, the answers in the form fields do not show in the text file!  Each radio button shows as yes and no, and there is no indication in the text file which one was selected.  In addition, the form fields are not exported next to the questions on the form.  I tried flattening the form in Adobe pro, and that did not work either.


      How can I create a fillable form for Adobe Reader, and then let the user export their answers AND the questions on the form to plain text?
