Want to import Excel data into my PDF (using Prepare Form/More/Import Data) but my PDF won't recognize my tab-delimited excel .txt document where the columns correspond with PDF field names

When you perform this option, what is the file type you are looking for?

The default is "FDF".

Are you getting any error messages?

Do the field names have any special white space characters like the space, underscore, dot, etc.?

Sample form with tab delimited text file attached

thanks g and George; the articles I saw said a .txt tab delimited file would work but get message that acrobat can't use the file; how do I get a .fdf file out of an .xls file? that's not a choice in the Excel save-as;

(I'm using data in Excel for mail merge into Word docs; was hoping to use the same spreadsheet to merge into a PDF)
