My XML data is being written TWICE for the one button event!

[_David_R_Webber]

I have a Submit button that is creating XML (well - XDP ) - and it was working fine - only output one set of tags.



I've added some more fields to the DataConnection and now "Presto!" it suddenly is output TWICE. First instance is with my data values inserted - the second instance is the raw dataconnection layout with empty fields!



How do I stop it doing this?



Thanks, DW

Ok - I figured this out - in the xdp - there are two sections -<br /><br /><xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"<br />><xfa:data> <br /><br />and <br /><br />><dd:dataDescription xmlns:dd="http://ns.adobe.com/data-description/" dd:name="xdp"<br />><xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/"<br />><xfa:datasets<br /><br />For every single structure you are manipulating - hence you get two outputs. Who thinks this stuff up?!?<br /><br />The cure is to use XSLT and to re-format the output. This does work. Notice you will need to edit the filepath of the URI to the xslt, remove the directory path and prefix the filename with ./ <br /><br />DW

Hi,



You said you were creating a xdp structure.

Can you give me an example? I´m searching a way to get all the input fields on a pdf: name of the field and value.



Thank you

Select the XML output option for the button.



It will create the xdp structure - but then you will need to use XSLT to format it.
