I didn't provide the details right. I have a pdf file that seems to be created with Adboe LiveCycle or something like that - which has the form features that
with the Adboe Reader, it allows the form data to be exported to XML data.

Adobe LiveCycle Designer is new in Acrobat 7 and does create "XML Forms" that are embedded into the PDF. They manage the entire form, not just the exporting of the data from the form.


Was wondering whether I can read that file content somehow in xml format itself?
The XML data that represents the form is not necessary the content of the PDF - it's the form aspects (fields, etc.). You can read that part by getting the data from the /Catalog/XFA value in the PDF. However, that's NOT content - and it's only valid for these newer PDFs.
