Hi everyone,
I'm having issues entering information into a form. I'm using Acrobat 7 Professional. My goal is to generate multiple forms using data from an Excel spreadsheet. The data is essentially names and contact information, all very simple.
I have created a form using Designer and just used text boxes. Do I have to use anything like tags to distinguish the text boxes and link to the Excel sheet by chance?
In the excel form I created column headings which match the form (but again, maybe I need to tag the form?), and then entered all my data below those headings. For example:
NAME ADDRESS PHONE# EMAIL
John Doe 123 Fake St. 555-1234 john [at] doe [dot] com
Mary Mae 543 Broadway 677-3545 mary [at] mae [dot] com
Tom Johnson 12 Green St. 453-2438 tom [at] johnson [dot] com
I want to be able to import the set of data from each row into their own form, so that in this case I would end up with 3 forms with the data automatically entered in the text boxes on the 3 separate forms.
I've tried using the import data option and saving the Excel sheet as a .txt and a .xml but this didn't work for me. I imagine I'm missing something fairly obvious to a more seasoned user of Acrobat.
Thanks in advance!
