How can I add ![CDATA[ ]] within certain text fields in XML export?

Hi everyone,<br />I've searched on the web and in the adobe forums and knowledgebase, but I didn't see anything about how i might do this.<br /><br />When we export the form to XML, certain text fields need to be CDATA blocks. Is there a good way to do this?<br /><br />This is an output sample:<br /><br /><formatText><.![CDATA[This text may have special characters.</formatText><br /><br />Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!!<br />Lisa

Special characters should be exported correctly: CDATA may or may not

be used. Are you seeing an error in the XML? Your program should not

require CDATA.

Hi Aandi,



Thanks for your response :).



Unfortunately our application (Authorware) does require CDATA. I do see taht special characters are exported correctly in the Acrobat PDF, but I have to go through and manually insert the CDATA tags now -- a huge pain :).



Do you know if there is anyway to add the tags to the export on fields where needed?



Thanks!
