[QUOTE="Astromath, post: 6691116, member: 78315"] One complaint about Acrobat Reader (I know, I need to bring this complaint to the Acrobat people): I wish there was some way to export the data to upload into the new version. (P.S.: Supposedly, there is a way to do it with AR with some sort of script. At least, that's what I found while searching the net for a way.) I've also been taking an unofficial poll of those in our group and the local convention about who has Excel. Only one person in our gaming group has Excel and about less than 1 out of 10 have Excel in the local convention. The most common reason for not having Excel is cost. They say why get Excel when OpenOffice is free. I'm not asking you to change now (you said you won't anyway), but I'm asking somebody out there to convert your Excel sheet into OpenOffice Spreadsheet. I've tried importing to OO, but the Excel macros you use are unique to Excel and there is no OO equivalent. If somebody out there has successfully imported the Excel sheet to OO, I'd like to know how you did it, because I can't. I know I'm belaboring the point, but I really would like to use that Spell sheet generator. EDIT: I just found out that you can enable the PDF files so that Acrobat Reader can export the data. See here: [url]http://blogs.adobe.com/dmcmahon/2011/09/10/adobe-reader-fill-out-a-pdf-form-or-type-text-on-a-pdf-file-using-adobe-reader/[/url] This is assuming you have Acrobat Professional or Reader Extentions Server.
