Export data from fillable PDF to database?

New Here ,
Feb 26, 2019 Feb 26, 2019

We currently have fillable PDFs online for common forms. Here is one of them:

https://youradminpartners.com/docs/SRA_with_15yrs_2018.pdf

My boss wants to have them fill it out, then they hit a button labeled Save or Submit and the field data would go into our database table. Plus, the PDF would print.

I'm searching in Google, but I haven't found a solution yet. Is there one?

It's not possible to export directly from a PDF form to a database. You can export the data to a plain-text file, though, and then write a separate command to import it into the DC, independently of Acrobat.

Another option is to submit the data to a web-server, which in turn can take it and insert it into the DB (if the DB is also available on that server).
