Could data from the acrobat pdf form be transferred to  google contacts ?

Correct answer Thom Parker

The answer is Yes!! but getting there requires custom programming on the google side, or an intermediate server app. 

The PDF submit operation can be setup to perform a regular HTML form submit, which can then be used to send data to any google app.

The problem though, is the response. Acrobat does not handle the regular web response to a form submit, which is HTML code.  Google apps can be setup to return a custom response, and this is the hard part. And it's far outside the scope of this forum.
