Exporting form data

[gillrowley]

I'm new to creating fillable forms for a PDF. I want to export the form data to either a .csv file, or to any other type of file for starters. When I select the "Submit a form" action in the button properties display, it asks for a URL. Whatever I put here I get the General Error "Nothing Done" and it displays the URL. As an aside, the text "Submit" I've added to the button does not display either - so I guess I have two separate problems. The help feature, as well as the the book I have are less than helpful. Can someone get me started here? Thanks much.

Gill,
When you create a submit button - you have four methods to send the data:
PDF
HTML
FDF
XFDF

All of which are looking for a webservice to collect the submission. There is a very long explantion for this.

To help more, please provide some additional information.
What version of Acrobat are you using?
Will the individuals filling the form be doing so in a purchased copy of Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader?
What is the ultimate goal for the data collection?

The second question about the text on the button:
The name of the button is like a field name, and does not display anywhere on the screen. To have the text appear on the button, go to the Options Tab, and type in a label.
