Is there a way to auto fill an excel document with info inputted onto an Adobe document?

 

I'm in charge of managing and tracking my organizations purchases. Right now, anyone that would like to make a purchase has to input the same information on multiple documents and websites and I know there's got to be an easier way to get all of this info inputted into all the systems without having someone take the time to input all of it.

Assuming you mean PDF files, it's possible, to some extent.

If you have Acrobat you can use the Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet to create a new spreadsheet file with the data from multiple files.

For a more automated solution you would need to use a script, plugin or web-application.

What do you mean by "Adobe document"? There's no such file format. Adobe is a company which distributes much different software. Each of this uses at least one specific file format, be it PDF for Acrobat or INDD for InDesign. So, what file format are you dealing with and what application do you use this with?
