Hello again,I just made a test pdf form, added a date field, filled the form, and exported to XML. I had no trouble importing the date values into excel. The only issue that I can think of is if the date fields in the form contain a value that isn't recognized as a date... but even then, after a war...

Alright,First step is to make sure your form is set up to properly export xml data. Things to check:- All fields that will have data exported are given a specific name. You can do this by renaming everything in the hierarchy panel, or by setting the name on the binding tab.- Subforms correspond to a...

After that, use a little javascript to wire it all up.How To:Add a form variable to the form:- File, Form Proper...
