Exporting to XML

Hi, when exporting data to XML using SUBMIT (via Email) button, there are some comments automatically inserted into the resulted XML file. How can I stop the program from doing this? Any comment is much appreciated.

By comments I assume you are referring to the text in the e-mail message. If so, doing a forum search should find you some similar posts where there is script for setting up your own custom e-mail button where you can specify the subject, message body, etc.

Actually, no; I'll assume Billy is referring to the piece within the XML data file (which is what I was referring to)at the top of the data file:



"...*******************************************************



If you filled in a form:



This file contains data that was entered into a form.

It is not the form itself.



****************************************************************



If you receive this data file:



Please follow the directions below to process this data file using

Adobe Acrobat Professional 7



**To view the completed form:

1) Save this data file to your computer.

2) Open a blank copy of the original PDF form that the form filler

completed in order to generate this data file.

3) In Acrobat, choose Advanced > Forms > Import Data to Current Form

and browse for this data file.

4) You will see the form with the data in it.

5) To save a copy of the form with the data in it, choose File >

Save As and save the file.



**To create a spreadsheet from one or more form data files you have received:

1) Save the data files to a place on your computer, giving each

file a unique name and making sure not to delete the '.xml' file

extension.

2) In Acrobat, choose File > Form Data > Create Spreadsheet from

Data Files.

3) Click the 'Add Files' button to chose the data files.

4) After the data files are added, click the 'Create Spreadsheet'

button to create a Spreadsheet that contains data from selected

data files.
