Question : When I export acrobat to XML, 3 fields are xfdf but the rest aren't, anyone know how to fix?

This is just strange.
I have a 250+ formfield PDF.  When I export to xml.  I have 3 fields whose tag name is different than the rest.
They were all created the same way, by hand, they do have multiples of them selves but I have others that are multiples also, that this didn't happen to.
I have attached a shortened look.

If anyone can tell me how to get these fields to be named just like the rest they can have the points and the knowledge that a strange on the internet thinks that they are great.
Also, why does acrobat xml have the weird symbol  that causes the split in the tags? or am I just doing something wrong.

Thanks  in advance.

An XML name (which is what is in between "<" and ">") has to start with a letter, an underscore or a colon, followed by other characters that can also contain digits and a few more special characters. Because your field name starts with a number, it is not a valid XML name, and therefore Acrobat had to come up with a method to still create a valid XML construct.

I don't know what "funky" character you are referring to. To me it looks like a line feed, do you see something different?
