Import documents

You can import forms into Designer that were created in another form authoring application or an XForm XML application, or import spreadsheet data from Microsoft Excel 2002 or later by copying and pasting the content of the spreadsheet cells into a form. You can also import legacy forms as a starting point for creating new Designer forms. You can import files from these applications into Designer.
