I’m using Acrobat Professional 8.0 and I'm going positively bananas. I can’t figure out how to export data from a Acrobat database into a .csv format. I pushed out a form via email and created a database as prompted to serve as the repository for data returned to me by email. There used to be a button that said Export Data at the top of the data file but now its gone! Can anyone help me, pleeeeeease!
Copy all the forms you want to aggregate to a common folder. From the Forms menu in Acrobat Pro 8.1 choose Manage Form Data > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet. A dialog box opens prompting you to add files. Click the Add button and choose the files you want to use. Click the Export buttom and save your form data as a .csv file.—ted
