Currently in beta, Adobe has released a 'Save As XML' plug-in for its popular Acrobat software. This feature enables users to save content from a tagged PDF file into XML, HTML or plain text format, allowing placement of content into other applications. A tagged Abobe PDF file is usually created from Microsoft Office 2000 applications, using the 'Web Capture' feature to convert a Web site to Adobe PDF format.
Currently, the following formats are available:
How this differ from directly "saving as webpage" in an office application (e.g. Excel)?

|I think he meant how are all the options (other than XML) different to doing a save as in Excel/Word. I'm not sure exactly which version excel/word uses (I think it would be 4.01)...but the HTML that gets churned out is a horrible mess from my experiences with it.

|Thank you for your insightful post. Maybe you can send me your address so I can thank you in person.
To help enlighten you, Microsoft Office 2000 uses a combination of HTML, XML, and XSL to produce webpages that are nearly identical to the original, including separate tabs for each workbook. It then allows users of IE5 to take that webpage and bring it back into Excel without loss. It is a very powerful tool that I use often.
My question obviously did not refer to XML without styling. Anybody with average intelligence could have figured that out. I work with systems all day, many of which exchange information in XML. I also work with users who publish Excel reports to a company intranet site and I have been exploring many alternatives to PDF.
I hope this clears things up for you and I hope that you learn to overcome your fear of walls (or is it that you fear that the wall of your a** will be torn by your boyfriend).

|A well reasoned argument totally spoiled by some homophobia at the end, tacked on for no apparent reason. So much for your credibility. Idiot.

|Not sure how it is homophobia. I happen to work in the entertainment industry and many of my friends and colleagues are gay. I guess I could of said that his girlfriend with a dildo...
I also like the fact that you ended with "idiot" therefore totally invalidating your argument.

|I also would like to comment that not all gay men and women are stuck up about their sexuality. They can laugh and joke about it just like straight men and women. This is especially true when you are in an environment where there is no distinction made between gay and straight, such as at work. Maybe it is you who fears equality?

|It differs, because it will work from any application.
NOT just Microsoft Office.
Some of us "shock horror" do use non Microsoft Office applications!
