    exportAsXML doesn't work because it doesn't exist.

    You can export to XFDF file (using exportAsXFDF), which is an XML representation of the form data.

    thanks for your trouble, but I can only import XML not XFDF into my MS-Excel schema/map

    currently I have to go to Acrobat's menus - More Form Option --> Export Data --> select XML as type

    a bit cumbersome for my office staff

    was hoping for a javascript that does the same

    There's no built-in function that does that, but you can write one.

    Take a look here, it mentions a package named XFDF2XL, which seems to do what you need. Look for message #12:

    I’ve not used it, don’t know anything about it, but it came up in a Google search.
