The “Export Field Names” window can be accessed by selecting “Export Field Names” 

from the Acrobat “Tools” pulldown menu, or by clicking on the 

  button on the 

Acrobat toolbar. 
 
In order to correctly merge data with 
an Acrobat form, ARTS PDF Variform 
Lite requires that the field names in 
the PDF and those in the data file 
exactly match. 

 

 

Note: Data files must have the field 
names in the first line of the file. 

 
The “Export Field Names” function is particularly useful when the user does not know the 
field names used in the Acrobat document, or when there are a large number of field 
names and comparing them with the field names in the data file would otherwise be 
difficult. This function allows the user to export the Acrobat form field names to a text file 
so that they can be used to ensure that the field names in the data file match. 
 

• 

 
This list allows the user to select the type of delimiter to be used to separate field names 
in the exported file. Choices are Tab, Comma, Semicolon, or Space 
 

• 

 
This allows the user to specify how field names which contain the selected delimiter are 
to be identified in the exported file. Choice are “None”, “Double-quote(“)”, or “Single-
quote (‘)”. As an example, if a field name contains a comma (last name, first name) and 
the selected delimiter is also comma and no qualifier is chosen, then the exported file 
would treat “last name” and “first name” as two separate fields. By using a qualifier such 
as Double-quote, the exported file would contain “last name, first name” so that they will 
be recognized as a single field. If a field name has the selected delimiter in it and no 
qualifier is selected, ARTS PDF Variform Lite will automatically use a Double-quote 
qualifier so that errors do not occur.
