Receive returned fill & sign form then export data

I want to send my form with Fill & Sign yet retain the ability to export the returned data when the form is returned, so that I can import the data into a larger file that includes the same fields. However, because the form is signed, the data cannot be exported. I can email the form to the client as an attachment, but that is a clumsy way for a client to deal with my form. I have two questions about this:

1. Is there a means available to export data from a form returned to a sender via Fill & Sign? 

2. Can a form be distributed with Fill & Sign without placing a signature field on the form (so that no signature is required but the form can be completed and returned), and IF that can be done, can the data then be exported when the form is returned, since it is not E-signed?

You can distribute the form. Don't use Fill & Sign.

Do you mean distribute by some means other than email, with the benefits of document cloud distribution (i.e., the form is distributed from the document cloud and returned to me when my client clicks on "finish")? Or are you saying that sending by email (link or attachment) for completion and return by email is the only other option?

You can use one of the two options.
