This looks like an internal error code that was not meant to be displayed to a user. Unfortunately, without having access to the source code for Acrobat, it's impossible to say what that means, why it's getting triggered, and what you can do to avoid it.

I would actually call this a bug: The user interface should never expose internal names to the user, and there should always be a simple, user friendly error message that gives us users a better understanding of what's going on. You may want to report this as a bug here:

Hi shulamitk,

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Would you let us know the file you are trying to convert to XML, was that pdf created using LiveCycle Designer?

To check if the file is created in LiveCycle Designer. Launch Acrobat. Open the same pdf file, click on File menu > Properties. On Properties window, click on General. And Check "Application" and PDF Producer.

What is the current version of Acrobat that you are using? Also, is it possible to share that pdf file with us?

Regards,

Tariq Dar.

You cannot attach files to a forums discussion, but you can upload files to Adobe's Document Cloud, share them there, and then post the link here. Here are instructions about how to do that: Share Documents via Adobe's Document Cloud - KHKonsulting LLC

Adobe Acrobat 7 is ancient (it came out more than 10 years ago) and does not run on any modern operating system, so if you are running it in an environment that was never supported, I would not be surprised that things don't work correctly.
