PDF Form results into spreadsheet question

[hbreedlove3]

Hello,

I am working on a PDF form where there are over 200 entries. However, when the completed PDF form gets brought into the distributed form, I don't need to see that many entries, I am only looking to track a few items, maybe 30 overall. Is there any setting when creating the field that will allow the user to type in or create the checkbox without it becoming a column on the spreadsheet.

Also, if this involves coding, then will the PDF form continue to work in Adobe Reader, where the users fill out the form?

Thanks for your help and advice,

Heather

You can select which fields to export (if that's what you mean by "entries") by using a simple script.

For example, this code will only export the values of three fields to a tab-delimited text file of your choosing:

var fieldsToExport = ["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"];
this.exportAsText({aFields: fieldsToExport});
