I would like to execute a script that when the form is signed will execute the Merge Data Files into Excel Spreadsheet and save to a file name created using the file name for the pdf.

It's not possible to run this command via a script, and saving a file under a specific name requires privileged context, such as a folder-level script.

"Merge Data Files into Excel Spreadsheet" is under Prepare Form in the tools menu and is what we use to get the data from a fillable form into excel for tracking.

What do you mean by "merge the data from the file"? Merge it into what, exactly?
