Submit as XML Data Issue

[jcmlsbmar66]

I have a PDF form where I have set up a data connection to pull in data from an XML file to populate drop-down menus.  I'd like to submit the form as an XML file, only when the form is completed and submitted, only the fields that are bound by the data connection are submitted - not the remainder of the fields in the form.  There are roughly 15 other text, radio button, and checkbox fields that don't show up in the xml file generated by the form in Acrobat.  If I remove the data connection, and bindings on those fields, the data is saved in the XML file as needed.  How can I do both - import the data for the dropdowns, and also get all data exported when the form is completed.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

If you are going to use a dataconnection then all if the data must be combined into a single file. The exception to this is if the data is coming in from a web service. The reson for this is for schema support. The schema creates a single data file and all data must be contained within that data format. Can you combine the two xml data files into one then create your datasource form that?
