Using Acrobat 8 I can export all the files in a dataset as a repeating XML file using the Export tab on the far right side on the top of the page (Not the Form drop down menu). There seems to be no way this can be done with Acrobat 9. I hope I am wrong and there is a way with Acrobat 9 - can someone step me through the process. Thank you...

Adobe changed how the dataset file works in 9. If you open an 8 dataset file in 9 it looks just like a simple portfolio without any special dataset options. But if you create a new "Response" file in 9, then it has all kinds of fancy features that 8 doesn't have.

What would have been really nice is a conversion feature

Where can I find info on creating a "Response" file? I have version 8 and the company I set up the dataset for has changed to 9 with no documentation. This feels like a move on Adobe's part to force upgrades...
