Hello there

I created a pdf form and now I would like to collect data by exporting the files into a .csv. There, all the values are in the same field but separated with ",". Can I change this somehow so each form field gets his excel field?

Acrobat only exports the form data as a tab-delimited text file. If you want to generate a CSV file you can do it using a script.

CSV stands for comma-separated-values so that's exactly right. Excel can import CSV data into separate rows. It should do this automatically when you open a file called CSV.
