    Hi! Great tutorial! What if the PDF does not have form fields like the one in the tutorial, but it does have form fields that are not being recognized by Adobe? Is there a way to make the form's data recognizable, besides OCR?

    Hi! I wanted to know if you can do this the opposite way? Instead of exporting data from PDF to Excel. Is there a way to import data from Excel to PDF Fillable Forms? I hope you can answer my question. I've tried this before it exists but now I forgot how to do it. thank you!

    Great tutorial! Do you know why it is only importing 45 of my 60 fields? Is there a limit that can be increased?

    Hello! To my knowledge, there shouldn't be a strict limit on the number of fields that can be imported. However, there are a few factors that could cause only a portion of the fields to be imported: Table Structure: If the data in the PDF is organized in tables, the data extraction feature may not recognize all tables or may struggle with complex table structures. In such cases, it may miss some fields or rows. Data Recognition: The accuracy of data extraction depends on the clarity and consistency of the data in the PDF. If there are variations in formatting, layout, or text recognition errors, it can affect the extraction process. Page Layout: If the PDF document contains multiple pages, ensure that the data extraction settings are configured to extract data from all pages. Sometimes, data from additional pages may be missed if not properly configured. Software Limitations: While there isn't a predefined limit on the number of fields that can be imported, some PDF to Excel conversion tools or software may have their own limitations or performance constraints. To address the issue of missing fields, you can try the following steps: Review the PDF document to ensure that all fields are clearly identifiable and located in areas that are accessible for data extraction. Check the settings of your data extraction tool or software to ensure that it's configured to extract data from all relevant pages and regions of the document. If available, adjust any settings related to data extraction accuracy or table recognition to improve the results. Consider breaking down the extraction process into smaller batches if you're dealing with a large number of fields or complex documents. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching my videos!

    Thank you so much for such a thorough response. i will try to troubleshoot. In the text file I do see all the columns listed so I dont think it is the extraction. When i use your merge method they all import, but lose the power query benefits. Is there also a way to export multiple forms to txt? I found how to do actions but that way only saved the pdf not the form fields.

    But can I code a button in Acrobat, that auto exports+saves the form data in a certain folder

    I cannot find the Export option when I click Prepare a Form. I only see two buttons 'distribute...' and 'Track ...'. My version of acrobat pro is 2022 (64 bit). I tried several days with no success. Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Thanks.

    Hello! To my knowledge, the ability to export form data from Adobe Acrobat forms has been a feature for quite some time, including versions before 2017. However, the exact availability and accessibility of features can sometimes depend on the specific edition or version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. Here are a few points to consider: Edition Differences: Adobe offers different editions of Acrobat, such as Standard, Pro, and Pro Extended. Some features may be exclusive to certain editions. Software Updates: Software updates and patches can sometimes introduce new features or modify existing ones. Encouraging the user to check for updates may bring their software version in line with the latest feature sets. Workflow Variations: The feature to export form data was typically accessed from the "Tools" pane in Adobe Acrobat Pro. However, the exact location and visibility of the option might vary based on the version and user interface settings. Permissions and Security Settings: In some cases, the ability to export form data might be restricted due to security settings or permissions applied to the PDF file itself. I hope this is helpful! Thanks for watching my videos!

    How do get this chocolate brown color on your hair. It's so hard to get chocolate tone. Do you mix 2 colors. If I use light brown, it does not get chocolate, if I use medium brown, it gets almost black. Do you mix different color like light brown with medium brown? and which brand?

    Hello! I go to a stylist that does my color. I am not sure what brand she uses but it is a mix and then I get partial highlights to blend it in so it doesn’t look too dark. I would try to mix the light and medium till you get it how you like it. Thanks so much for watching my videos! I really appreciate it!
