'Form options' under Edit is missing

Explorer ,
Nov 20, 2018 Nov 20, 2018

We often need to export the data in a PDF form, but the 'Form Options' under the Edit menu is sometimes missing. Is there something that causes this feature to not show up?

Could be a Windows v. Mac issue. Just have them look it up under the Tools panel...

Yes! the Import Data/Export Data shows up if we search for it in the tools panel.

We're still not sure where that tools in the menus but as long as we can search for it, we can use it.

Thanks!!

Are you sure they're using Acrobat? And the same version of it as you do?

Same exact version. We're all running 2020.006.20042, but I am running a newer MacOS. That could be it, I guess.

Same exact problem just recentlt started happening for me.  

 

You can also find the data tools under the "More" menu just above the list of fields when in form edit mode.
