exportAsXML doesn't work because it doesn't exist.

You can export to XFDF file (using exportAsXFDF), which is an XML representation of the form data.

thanks for your trouble, but I can only import XML not XFDF into my MS-Excel schema/map

currently I have to go to Acrobat's menus - More Form Option --> Export Data --> select XML as type

a bit cumbersome for my office staff

was hoping for a javascript that does the same

There's no built-in function that does that, but you can write one...
