What is the best way to extract select data from a filled in pdf form?

The export feature extracts everything but I need only 6 of 50 named fields.

thanks

@Judith23964899jt0f if you only 6 of the 50 fields, I would just manually select the text tool and copy the fields

the data is on multiple pages of the form and there are some 60 - 70 forms
submitted at a time.
there has to be a better way!
thanks
