The mentioned title is an save as option in Acrobat 9. How to get this in Acrobat 11. Exporting options are not working as like the old option. The imported the action in Acrobat 11. It is not working properly. Anyone have any solution for this or anyone can change the action file compatibility to 11. Thank you.

Have you tried the following?

1. File > Save As Other > Spreadsheet > XML Spreadsheet 2003

I believe that is the XML based format you are looking for?

[madhusudhananc]

No Cari, it is also not working . I have the sequ file of that javascript. But i cant able to edit that in Acrobat 11 pro. Is there any way to read the sequ file other than acrobat?

It's a plain-text file. You can open it in a plain-text editor, like Notepad.

Yes, this is a plain text file, but it may be hard to understand what it's doing for somebody who does not work with this stuff on a daily basis. It may be easier to use Acobat 9 to look at the batch sequence, and then copy the steps that were programmed in a new Acrobat XI Action. If you know exactly what the batch sequence did and can describe that to us, we may be able to help you recreate it in Acrobat XI.

This is the content in that file while opening in Notepad.

This exports a document to Excel, which is very easy to do from scratch as an Acrobat XI Action. Select the "Action Wizard" panel on the tools pane. If you do not see the "Action Wizard" panel, you will have to enable it via the menu (as indicated in the screen shot):

On the dialog that gets displayed, you have to select the "Save" function on the left side, and then move it to the right side by clicking on the button in the middle. Once you have it on the right side, click on the "Specify Settings" button:

Now you can select the output format:

This should give you the same behavior as the old batch sequence.
