A form that is connected to excel

Question

Hey everybody,I'm looking for a way, how I can create a form in acrobat dc, that is dynamically connected to excel or another calculation program. My goal is, that the information will completely go into a horizontal row, like it is usual in research (I'll import the excel into spss). Perfect would be if I dont need to export the pdf into an excel – so whenever I click or type sth in the form it will be in the excel. Has anybody an Idea how I can do this? Thanks very much.

That's not possible. The closest you can get to it is to read the data from a plain-text file, but that would require some advanced custom-made scripting, and it won't update automatically the moment you edit the file in another application.
