The short answer is no this won't work. That is because FG just happens to store data in XML format. FG expects the data to be in a *specific* format using specific "tags." It won't take random ones. XML is not HTML where there are "standard" tags that mean specific things. XML is "freeform" and the appilcation can use what ever tags and structure it wants. Because of that you have to have the data in the form with the "tags" the FG program expects.

You can cut and paste from the PDF either into FG or into the campaigns db.xml which is still a big time saver but sadly there is no magic bullet converter.
