Printing a form to pdf is not the same as saving a pdf with the data filled in to the forms.

actually this is not true in general. the data gets into the pdf as a single unit so it's very much alike.

Filled in forms can be processed by Acrobat to export the data from the forms and processed in a spreadsheet or database.

and this can be accomplished from filled in pdfs by using any of the PDF-PERL packages to extract the contents and save them to anywhere you want.
