Yes, but Acrobat/Reader 8.x and Acrobat/Reader 7.x treat dynamic forms VERY differently.
Acro/Reader 7 would create a "classic PDF mirror" of the dynamic form, so that non-XFA-aware tools could do some basic processing on the PDF (as you are trying to do) - but too many problems were caused when the form was reloaded into Acrobat/Reader and the changes made outside were blown away. To avoid this, Acrobat/Reader 8.x no longer creates the mirror - instead it just keeps a "shell" around...
