Adobe Acrobat - Submit Form - Export Data to Excel (On SharePoint, if possible?)

The title says it all, but we're hoping to create a Submit Form button that will send the form data to an Excel .XLS document in our SharePoint (webserver).  We're looking into Web-forms in our Adobe Sign Enterprise account but that also has limitations.  Please consider this issue and let me know if you have insight and we could possibly meet to discuss.  Thank you!

If you gather up the returned forms/data, you can export the data into a spreadsheet. 

It's not automated but probably could be with either Actions or a script.

Thank you David,

I've seen that too, however, we're looking automate this as much as possible.  I think you're right that it will end up being a Javascript button but we're still looking for the path of least resistance.  Currently, I'm looking into Web Forms in Adobe Sign and Power Automation.  

If you have any experience with those tools I'd love to talk more about it?

No, can't help much there. 

Another possibility might be the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) forms.

Thank you Amal,

I've seen all this, however, I cannot seem to make the FDF file open in any kind of a workable format or send it to SharePoint to which we'd like that data to add to a currently existing spreadsheet.  

Thank you for any more information you can share!
