I am using Acrobat Professional version 7. I work in the medical field. We are conducting a clinical trial and all records are in pdf format. My question is: Is there some way to use Acrobat as a database? Right now I have to create an Excel spreadsheet with MANY datafields and enter in all the data from the 14 different forms. We are hoping to get 120 patients in the study. I would rather skip the Excel spreadsheet route if I can do something in Acrobat. Any ideas? Thanks - Barry

Barry,
You need to set up a form with form fields to accommodate all the data you want to add in Acrobat. Or, you need to create a form in Adobe LiveCycle Designer with subforms to dynamically add fields as data are imported.
You might find an easier solution for a one time use working in Excel, complete the Excel document and convert to PDF.
