Making an order form to be distributed, can I add a table?

I am using Acrobat Pro 9 on a mac.
 
I want to make an order form for distribution where each line of the table will get exported as an individual row to a spreadsheet.
 
I made the form using a pdf created from excel and the form wizard and it recognizes each block of the table as in individual field which then gets exported as one long row of information in a spreadsheet like:
 
vendor1, cat#1, qty1, price1, vendor2, cat#2, qty2, price2
 
What I want is:
 
vendor1, cat#1, qty1, price1
vendor2, cat#2, qty2, price2
 
All the tutorials I find on the web suggest using livecycle but that is not available for mac. What do you suggest?

Acrobat Pro 9.2, Macintosh

No, it doesn't work that way. You'll have to process the data after you collect it in a spreadsheet.
