When I get the Adobe XML File by Friday, I'll send it over to you here- very simple!  Then you can answer my original question with the included document in your hand, as it's that simple! (with my instructions)


Are you sure this is not a file created by exporting form field data to an XML file?

You will need Acrobat to import the XML file to original form or a copy of that form.

You are printing a PDF to PDF. This is considered a very bad idea. WHY are you doing this? What is the problem that you want to solve?

There are MANY types of XML file, so this does not really explain the type of file you are using. Please tell us what makes you describe it as an "Adobe XML file". Details please.

A. By clicking on the 'Print; icon in the designated step that I enclosed, one also obtains function #2 which is just converting the file over from Adobe XML to standard PDF format.

A2 How do I initially determine that an Adobe XML document is not a standard PDF file?  Because after opening up the 'Tools' tab at the top, then "Pages' tab immediately afterwards, the "Insert From File' selection is "grayed out"- implying that the actual merging to other PDF files cannot be accomplished.  But it can after clicking on the Print icon, then re-saving it will change it's format (as this will eliminate the "grayed out" area that I just stated).

A3 I had two IRS tax forms that originally had the "grayed out" mentioned that I successfully converted over, but at this time I did not save an extra copy that I can show you.  I'm currently awaiting this from the Tax individual that I just dealt with, as he is apparently behind with his scheduled tasks.  When I get it, I'll notify you, ok?.
