xfdf and fdf

I have several pdf forms published by several different government agencies. I want to export my filemaker data into an fdf or xfdf format. The problem is that I have virtually no understanding of xml. I have an example here that I can basically copy or use as a template, however, I don't know how to manipulate the export exactly.

In any case, I'm stuck and this solution could save me quite a bit of time. Can anyone give me a simple explanation as to how to export what I need as an xml export? I will give you whatever parameters are needed and I can probably figure it out from there.

And by the way, I understand filemaker can create pdf files. That is not my problem. These are pdf fillable forms from different govt agencies. I have the necessary security/password settings when necessary. I have the field names within the pdf. Creating the xfdf file is really what I'm after.

Thanx
