The XML below was saved out of a PDF form that I created in Acrobat 7 Pro.
You can also write XML using Rev as long as the field tags corespond to the
field names designated in the PDF form. This XML can be imported into the
fields of the PDF form.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    - <form1>
      - <Test_PDF_file>
          <JOB>82321</JOB>
          <TYPE>1</TYPE>
          <QTY_X>10</QTY_X>
          <QTY_Y>3</QTY_Y>
          <TOTAL>13</TOTAL>
      </Test_PDF_file>
    </form1>
