Question

How do I correct a problem with Merge Form Data into Spreadsheets on Adobe Acrobat XI

I have migrated my applications and data to a new laptop.  However, one (1) of the key features I use in my day-to-day business operations is not working properly on Acrobat XI. 

I used Adobe forms to create a cover sheet for input data to facilitate getting the input data from the user.  I have always used Forms --> More Form Options --> Merge Data Files into Spreadsheets to transfer the input data into a spreadsheet file and then use an Excel macro to transfer the data from that file into an Excel tracking sheet.

The file that is now created by Forms --> More Form Options --> Merge Data Files into Spreadsheets is "report.xml" and does not seem to be a spreadsheet file.  I to would be happy to send you a sample of the created file to assist in your evaluation if I knew how to do that.

I have run all updates as well as the repair function but the problem still exists.

RESOLUTION OF THIS PROBLEM IS URGENT.  I NEED TO GET MY TOOLS OPERATIONAL IMMEDIATELY.  HELP!!!!

As file type choose *.csv not *.xml.

Open one of these documents in Acrobat. What happens when you click on Tools - Forms - Edit?
