Hi there! I converted a HTML form into a PDF using Acrobat Professional 8.0 .I want to generate a XML datafile but would like to specify a XML schema for it, so that the data I get is in the format I want.
So I would like to know that how can I bind a XML schema to the already existing form fields. I would like to fetch the field name and the value entered in the field as attributes of a XML node.
 
Can u plz help me out???

This needs to be done within Adobe LiveCycle Designer (7 or 8). You will need to import your existing form if you want to use that, or you can start from scratch. Either way, open the Data View palette, click the palette menu button and choose "New Data Connection..." You can then choose "XML Schema" for the data description, point to your XSD, and then import that schema. From the Data palette you can bind to existing form fields, or just drag from the palette to the Design view to add form fields according to the schemas naming and structure. You can also change the binding of fields in the Object palette's Binding tab.

HTH,
