Greetings - I have created an Acrobat Fillable form  and when I retrieve the data and open the .csv report file, the field columns are in reverse order?  How can I modify this order?    Please and thank you for any help.!

    In order to control the order in which the data is exported you must use a script.

    Thank you.  How would I go about figuring out how to do that?  (I'm not terribly tech savvy.)  

    Thanks again in advance. 🙂

    This is not a trivial task if you don't have any experience in Acrobat JavaScript, as it involves collecting the data in the desired order, making a data object with it, and then exporting that data object to a file.

    If you're interested in hiring someone to create it for you feel free to contact me privately via [try6767 at gmail.com] to discuss it further.
