Am I correct in my understanding of fdf data versus xml data for Acrobat . . . .
By default, do forms created within Acrobat Professional create fdf data upon submission, while forms created in Live Cycle Designer create xml data?

Yes, this is correct. For more information on the differences between Acrobat forms and LiveCycle forms you can check out Carl Young's article [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/articles/2006/08/designer_or_forms/index.php]Adobe Designer or Acrobat Forms?[/url]
