There's no built-in option for that in your ancient version. You can create your own or use one that someone else has created.

That would be a tremendous scripting task. There are some pre-existing tools that will do it for you, like this one: https://formrouter.com/tools/

You really should consider upgrading, though. Not just for the missing functionality, but also for compatibility (unless you're using Windows Vista, or something like that) and security reasons.

I have been trying to get my team to upgrade but unfortunately our method is only validated for this Acrobat version.. :// Thanks for your help!

OK, I don't know what "method" that is, but expect problems if you're on Windows 10 or a similar OS version (if you're on a Mac then forget about it entirely).
