View xml in pdf format? - Please help-

I have a webpage that has a link that directs customers to a pdf form I created with Adobe Designer 7.0 and when the customer is done filling out their information in the form and click's the submit email button. It comes to my inbox in an .xml! is there a way I can have it to where the file comes as a .pdf or can I jus convert the .xml into a word .doc or .pdf?
-Thank You SOoo Much!-

>In your opinion, why is it better to work with the .xml data instead of emailing the forms back and forth as a .pdf?
1. XML is a standard format and many programs can read the data from
XML. So if you work with XML it allows you more flexibility,
especially to reprocess all the saved e-mails.
2. The free Adobe Reader can't submit in PDF format unless the PDF
file is specially prepared, on which there are contract limitations.
3. PDF files will be much bigger than the XML, resulting in bigger
e-mails.
That said, e-mail it self is very limited, and not recommended for any
serious use. Submitting forms to a web server is recommended, but does
need a web programmer.

Sorted out the problem myself - secret is you have to go to Full Screen view to be able to scroll down. Easy as that - but not so apparent if you are new to this.

Created PDF form in Acrobat XI Pro, but HELP fields disappear when I save FCDT file to PDF. Please help. Thanks!

I am not aware of a field type "Help" within a PDF form. I do not see it as a form field that can be added in the form edit mode.
Forms Central forms do not support all the features of Acrobat forms.
Are you talking about the "Tool Tips" or a hidden field that only shows when one enters a field and is hidden upon exiting the field.

Customize option is missing under menu button. It is missing under View Toolbars as well. Please help!

Acrobat Pro XI is not recognizing Word 2013 files when I try to combine files in a single PDF. Please help.

I recently upgraded to Office 2013. Everything seems to be working fine with Acrobat Pro XI, except when I try to combine Word 2013 files into a single PDF, I get this message: "Acrobat does not support the conversion of one or more of your files to PDF. . . ." Please help. Thanks.

I've opened both Word and Excel. The Acrobat ribbon is showing in both programs and I did some test things and they seem to be working fine. However, I still cannot see or use formats other than pdf in the Acrobat Pro program. Is there another setting that needs to be adjusted?

How To Edit a .pdf file - Please Help!

When I Googled the above question, I was told to download the Adobe Acrobat XI.
I tried downloading the trial version. I was then told to download the Creative Cloud to be able to download Acrobat XI.
I downloaded Creative Cloud, then I was taken to the Adobe Applications Manager Page which show a bunch of apps to download.
I don't know which app I will need for the editing. I was looking for Acrobat XI, but it's not showing anywhere.
I tried downloading Photoshop. This took more than 2 hours. After the download was complete, I tried launching it, but nothing happened.
I went back & double-checked the instructions, & I'm directed & got stumped at the Applications Manager page once more.
I find this very frustrating. I wish it were not this complicated.
I just want to edit a .pdf file, and nothing else. I'm not sure if I want to go through all these maze, or just use FIVVER, pay $5.00 & AVOID all these hassles.@nikoledeon.
PLEASE HELP!

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

5th Gen iPod error while formating please help

I had a iPod Mini 4GB and thought it was time to upgrade to a 30GB. itunes and everything working just fine up to the point where I went and loaded the ipod disc to format my new iPod.

URGENT help needed in creating external xml video plalist. Please help!

I was given an assignment to create and external video playlist using an xml file. I have never used flash before, know nothing about encoding and all that was given to the class in terms of instuctions was a short tutorial that has no resources for troubleshooting. We were given everything; the external playlist file equipped with the video skin, the video list, actionscript that loads the xml and the xml file. We were told that all we need to do is change the names of the videos in the xml file to match the names of our videos. I did that. We were also told we needed to "name target", but we were not informed on how to do this. I have tried everything, visited every tutorial and I cannot figure out how to get this damn thing to work. I cannot even get flash to load the xml file. PLEASE HELP.
Here is the xml file:
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "i-8859-1"?>
<playlist>
<ADogWithoutABone
flvurl="ADogWithoutABone.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall First Video" />
<Highway
flvurl="Highway.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall Second Video" />
<PsychoBabble
flvurl="PsychoBabble.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall Third Video" />
<SomethingElse
flvurl="SomethingElse.flv"
desc="Hyper Wall Fourth Video" />
</playlist>
I tried putting in the entire address of the file location, but it did nothing.
Here is the actionscript in the flash file:
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, xmlLoaded);
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("playlistXML.xml"));
function xmlLoaded(event:Event):void {
var playlistXML:XML = new XML(event.target.data);
var item:XML;
for each(item in playlistXML.videoname) {
trace("item: "+item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString());
myPlayList.addItem({label:item.attribute("desc").toXMLString(), data:item.attribute("flvurl").toXMLString()});
//Select the first video
myPlayList.selectedIndex = 0;
//And automatically play it
myPlayScreen.play(myPlayList.selectedItem.data);
//Add a listener to detect when new video is selected and play it
function listListener(event:Event) {
myPlayScreen.play(event.target.selectedItem.data);
myPlayList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, listListener);
I tried placing the full address of the xml file in, along with the file address of the videos, but again it did nothing. Everything is located in the same file, and the videos in a sub file in that file. I tried taking out the sub file and putting all the videos in the same file, but it did nothing. I am sure it's something very simple, but like I said I have NO experience with this whatsoever. I am SO lost and DESPERATELY need help. PLEASE someone SAVE MEEEE!
Thanks

It might be a crossdomain.xml problem.
Please make sure that the server hosting the xml allows the domain where the swf is hosted.
You can start with:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="*"/>
<site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="master-only"/>
</cross-domain-policy>
