I send out monthly PDG Forms for requested utilization of Corp. Resources. I need to read/extract data from the PDF forms. Either an export to a comma delimited or xml format. Batch processing for 75 such responses in a folder, or a programmable was to import into Excel, Access, ect. I can do the VBA, just need to know the mechanics.

Dave

You can use JavaScript to export to a tab delimited file. You can do this from a custom toolbar button or in a batch process with the "doc.exportAsText()" funciton. Look it up in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.
