Scan paper surveys to fillable pdf for data extraction

New Here ,
Nov 06, 2019 Nov 06, 2019

I am not sure if this is a possibility or not, but I have a stack of paper surveys. I am trying to see if I can scan them over to adobe acrobat DC, have adobe recognize the markings on the survey and then extract the data to excel. Rather than having to manually enter all the data in excel. 

 

Another possibility I thought of was creating a fillable pdf template of the survey. Then having any scans reference the template to detect any marking changes in order to fill out the data sections. 

 

Like I said, not sure if either of these are possible but it would save a lot of time if so. Thanks for the help.
