How to Export Selected Content from Adobe as XML

Published in XML Export 2 mins read

To export selected content from an Adobe document as XML, you can utilize the specific tools and options available within the application for exporting selections.

Exporting Selected Content to XML

This method is particularly useful when you only need to save a specific part of your document, such as a block of text or certain data fields, rather than the entire file. This process is commonly found in Adobe applications that allow text selection, like Adobe Acrobat for PDFs.

Here are the steps to export selected content as an XML file:

  1. Use the Select Tool: Within your Adobe application, activate the Select tool.
  2. Mark Your Content: Use the Select tool to mark the content you want to save. This involves highlighting the specific text or area you wish to export.
  3. Access Export Options: Right-click the highlighted text. A context menu will appear with various actions you can perform on the selection.
  4. Choose Export Selection As: From the context menu, select the option Export Selection As.
  5. Select XML Format and Save: In the file saving dialog box that opens, choose XML from the list of available file types. Finally, click the Save button to create your XML file containing the selected content.

Following these steps allows you to quickly extract and save specific portions of your document in a structured XML format.
