Hi, I need some advice, I can't find it anywhere. I can create an interactive pdf (editable). I will send it out and get back with the filled out infomacs. Is it possible to process pdf (multiple files), from them individual fields of the form? Ideally in one table?
thanks a lot

There's a built-in command in Acrobat that does that. Look for Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet, under Forms (at least, that's where it used to be, who knows where Adobe moved it now...).

Hi  @Worrys ,

 

If I understood your question correctly, this may be possible depending on the context of your requirement.

 

However, even if you know how to script in Acrobat JavaScript, I believe that there could be some limitations to what you're asking for.

 

From the sounds of it this could be a very complex project. In which case, you may need to  outsource a professional developer and pay for the code (but I may be wrong).

 

Try reaching out to these community developers:
