To convert files on your computer to the Portable Document Format file format, you need to have a PDF print driver installed. When Adobe Acrobat, or other open source PDF creation software such as CutePDF, is installed, a PDF print driver is also installed. The PDF print driver enables converting documents to the PDF format from any printing application. An XFLD file is an Extensible Form Language file that describes a legally binding form. An XML file is an Extensible Form Language data file. Both files are text-based and viewable in a text editor, such as Notepad. However, you do not even need to open the files to convert them to the PDF format.
