Additional comments in generated XML

Hi,

On click of submit button in my PDF form, it will return to my webapp the generated XML from the form. Recently there is a case where we received extra XML comments being added into the XML (Right after the XML root element) . The comments are as following:

<!--******************************************************************************

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.

******************************************************************************-->


I was wondering what could be the possible cause of this.

Thanks.
