I have fillable pdf form that people complete. I want to be able to export just the fillable fields into excel as a batch. This was very easy in the old Acrobat "export data from forms" function. I can't figure out how to do it using Acrobat DC.
I am a complete novice with Adobe Pro but I have managed to create a fillable pdf form. I did not click on the 'Distribute' button when I created the form. Should I have done this before I sent the form out for applicants to fill in and return? Now, I have the completed forms back , I seem to be able to export the data to Excel, but the fields are not filling in the Excel columns I've created with the same name. Any straightforward advice would be helpful. Thank you.
You can't export the form data to an existing Excel file. You can use the Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet command to create a new file with all the data from the completed forms you got back from your users, and then import or copy it to an existing one.
