how to import csv file using Adobe Acrobat

I have an Excel document with a row of 13 columns of data to import into a PDF document. I cant seem to get this to populate the PDF fields from the excel document. I have tried importing csv and txt documents and it does not work. Row 1 of Excel document are named same as fillable fields in PDF and Row 2 is data I wish to populate into the PDF. Some data in file not imported successfully; nothing imported. Using Excel 2013 and Adobe Acrobat XI Standard.

Thanks for any help.

Save the Excel file as a "text tab-delimited" file type then import it using

this.importTextData();

Look up this function in the JS reference for error codes it will return if it doesn't import properly.

Figured it out, when saving from csv to txt format ended up wrong, had to go back and physically verify that tabs were in the correct place.
