Hello,
I was wondering if there is a way to automate the export of an Adobe PDF Form to XML.
What I'd like to do is create a Button that will export my form data to xml, using a javascript.
Similar to Selecting in Acrobat-Menu-
Forms>>Manage Form Data>>Export Data…>>Format XML Files
I only have Acrobat Professional…. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for that suggestion…... But it has to be .xml and not Acrobats XFDF…;( . I understand it is xml based, but I really need it to be .xml. I think I've read somewhere in the forum that you can create a javascript so that when you create a button to execute a javascript - it can export form data as xml. I just need it to export that xml to a job folder on our server. Everyone in our company has Acrobat Pro and the pdf won't need to be certified. Again thanks for the help.

If you use exportXFAData and specify bXDP to be false, the result will be a plain XML file.
