Exporting form data You can export the data you've entered into a form to a separate file. Exporting form data lets you save existing data to a file that's considerably smaller than the original PDF file. A smaller file is preferable for archiving or sharing the data electronically. You can save the form data as a tab-separated text (TXT), Acrobat XFDF (XFDF), Acrobat Form Data Format (FDF), or Extensible Markup Language (XML) file. Some of these file formats are available only when you're exporting the data from particular PDF forms, such as a PDF form created in Adobe Designer. You can also import data from an exported file into another form if that form has fields with the same names. Alternatively, you can import file data from a text file. (See Importing form data.) To export form data to a file: 1. Open the Adobe PDF form and fill it out. 2. Choose File > Form Data > Export Data From Form. 3. Choose a format type from the Save As Type menu, specify a location and file name, and then click Save.
