Hi max,

thanks for your answer, but I am afraid I cannot satisfy with this method.
My web Services work in standard way and are accessed by a other means than
PDF forms. So it means I cannot ( and do not want to) change them. So I
agree with you that I have to manipulate the data in some way at client side
(PDF) before sending it to the WS.
However, I can hardly imagine how there is no other way than creating the
full XML structure by hand when I need to send the data to a WS, although
Adobe is able to do it when I am submitting through a HTTP request. If I
have a form with some fields Name.First Name.Last, when I submit the form
with the HTTP request with a csubmitAs XML parameter, specifying that I want
to send the field "Name", I receive EXACTLY what I would like to receive in
my WS.

The workaround is to assemble things so that you can actually send the
data as argument to the web service.

This would require a little bit of programming, but it essentially
string assembly, which is pretty basic.

In any case, you would have to do this, because you do need bigger
control over what you send to the webservice. It is easier (and costs
less) to prepare the data you send in locally than by the service.

Hope, this can help.
