Hello!
I'm using Acrobat Pro 8, and I'm learning the functionality of designing forms. I've got the forms I need created and functioning the way I'd like them to. Now on the forms, we have certain info that needs to be documented, but that we do not really enter into our database system at all.
We have other info that we have to manually enter sometimes hundreds of pages of info. Of course there is human error.
Now that we have these PDF forms, and I know that they can be exported into Excel spreadsheets (I'm using Office 2003, and I actually did export a data set from the forms into an Excel spreadsheet already). When I did the export into Excel from my forms, it seemed like the information was a bit jumbled.
My question is this - Can I identify certain fields in the PDF, and tie them to a column in an Excel spreadsheet? i.e. for every form, the information in "field 1" will tie to "Column A" on the spreadsheet.
This way I can import the spreadsheets into our database system. Any help is greatly appreciated!
