I am hoping someone here can help me find a better way of accomplishing a huge task. I have quite a few PDF files. Most are small manuals, guides, etc that I need to convert to XML. I have gone through and tagged many of them and have tested using the XML output from Acrobat Pro.
 
My question is, is there a way to set a schema for the XML output so I don't have to perform a lot of transforms on the output to get to my final result?
 
Are there 3rd party plugins that may save me some time?
 
Thanks.

No, that's the beauty of XML, it can be transformed. I believe the Acrobat XML grammar is what it is.

I have never heard of a 3rd party plug-in for converting the Acrobat XML grammar, but there is one group that works extensively with PDFs and XML document grammars, the Software User Assistance professionals. Here's a link to the conference web site: http://www.writersua.com/. You should find links there to companies that do this sort of thing.
