I suggest you ask over at <a href="http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/" rel="nofollow">acrobatusers.com</a>. @merooo5,

Javier,

Per the LC Scripting Reference document a pdf document needs to be Certified for this to work. I get a security error in Reader 8.1 and 9.0 when attempting the exportData method. I have confirmed in Reader my certificate has trusts turned on for all features including High Priority Java Scripts. Adobe support has not been able to reproduce the problem. It occurs for me on three separate systems. This seems to be a bug to me. Stefan, NP_Martin and Javier,

It's possible that its use is exclusive to Acrobat Standard or Pro for some reason. NP_Martin,

Is there a way to change this? It doesn't seem to make any sense anyway, since nothing prevents you from creating a Submit By Email button, through which you are able to submit user entered data in XML.

Instead, <a href="http://blogs.adobe.com/stevex/2007/06/http_post_update.html" rel="nofollow">use an HTTP button to submit the data to a PHP/ASP/JSP/etc. page</a> and insert the data directly into a database or parse it into a comma-delimited string and append it to a file which you can then import in a single step into your Excel spreadsheet.

I am co-organizer of a group and have created registration forms for 2 upcoming events. We would like to compile this information into Excel spreadsheets. Unfortunately, I am the only one with access to Acrobat 8 Pro, but I am not the one who will be doing the compiling (will be out of town for a while). Do you know of any other (easy) options for compiling .xml info into an Excel file without having to open each file individually and cut and paste into a master file? Once I come back to town I can do it with Adobe, which I'm looking forward to. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. Shari This is not exactly an Adobe question.
