Excel data to Acrobat Fields

I've seen similar questions and have looked all over the internet but can't find a reasonable answer. At my job we constantly pull excel (2010) spreadsheats with data and then have to copy and paste many individual cells into fields in a pdf. (Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional). Each individual cell goes to an individual field. Is there a way I can import the data from the excel spreadsheet cells into the fields in the pdf file? Any answers or additional information would be greatly appreciated.

Acrobat can not deal directly with Excel spreadsheets, but Acrobat can deal with CSV files.

You would therefore create a CSV from your spreadsheet. Then you would import that CSV file as a Data Object, and read that Data Object in. You then can make it so that the table will be represented as a two-dimensional array, and with that, you also ahve a simple way to access the "cells", almost in the same way as in the Excel srpeasheet

Hope this can help.
