Forms - they have turned into .xml attachments (used to be .pdf). I have tech. comm. suite and its happened on two different computers. How do I change them back?

Hi,

I am guessing that the XML files are responses from a form you have sent out. The XML files are just the data from the returned form. To reconstitute it, open the original form, choose Forms: Manage Forms data, and select one of the XML files. You can also compile all of the files into a spreadsheet from this same menu option.

If you want to avoid this, create a Submit button that returns the form as a PDF-not XML.
