Exporting a single table from an acrobat created form

i created 5 page document indesign (cs5.5), on 1 page created table 4 columns x 25 rows (with first row being header), using table feature. exported pdf , finalized form in acrobat 9.2 pro. after running form field recognition table populated appropriate fields. finalized form , distributed. when form returned me, trying export information in table spreadsheet (employee name, title, phone, email, ) , not seem able so. possible form? doesn't seem pdf recognizes table table longer. list of attendees, want take list each returned form , combine them master list.

 

with selection tool have tried select text > right click > open table in spreadsheet , header rows appear. if choose text , not headers, nothing appears. if export entire document each cell of table own column in excel, makes sense since have different field names, doesn't make spreadsheet useful. thing have been able select cells, copy notepad, place tab between each piece of information > save , open document in excel. hoping there easier way. trying have table appear in excel pdf. have searched several websites , have not been able find deals exporting single table completed form.

 

perhaps need set table field names differently? assistance appreciated.

the "table" idea here design idea, identity table no longer exists in pdf.  feature you're trying use tables part of regular pdf, not form fields.

 

you can export form data. fields, process exclude ones don't want.
