So I am having a similar problem.  I realize this is an old thread, but since it was useful to me, I thought it best to reply here.

I am using the portable version.  I was unable to navigate to the program option to try and fix the database, so I followed the instructions in this thread. I made a copy of the database and the backup folder, and then deleted the folder contents. I restarted ClipboardHelpAndSpell and did not receive any error. Then, I selected a backup to restore from, and then clicked apply. I was expecting the restore to take longer.  I think the backup might have been from after I initially had the issue because it is only 1,060kb.  When I copied the contents of the database folder it was much larger.

In anycase, it did not bring back anything.  So I closed the program and then I copied the contents of the database folder back.  When I did, I got the same errors.  Any other ideas?  Any way to use the database files to rebuild?
 

 

Had not thought about nirsoft for this.  Thanks

I will look into Universal Viewer Pro and Editpad pro.   Looking through the forum, it also looks like Ultraedit is highly regarded.  Have also been looking through this  list.

In searching I came across XMLSPY which is known for its “grid view”

Xmlspy is very expensive. 

Ideally a single application that allowed you to not only edit, but build the viewer data table.  I looked to excel/libre calc because most people are more likely to be familiar with them  I know I could map the cells in a spreadsheet to the data in the XML file, but I need to do this with 100s of files.
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.3/en-US/text/scalc/01/xml_source.html?DbPAR=CALC

Something like powerquery might work.

I would like to be able to point the application to the directory with all of the xml files (within folders) and have ti automatically build the editable table.  I realize that might not be possible without the use of a database or some other methodology.

I am stretching my knowledge some with this search, which makes it difficult. But I am enjoying broadening my horizons.
 Thanks for the help!

It's scanned paper forms for reports and such. Works really well for it- one of the things that many find annoying (the fact that the page is nothing but elements) works really well for random forms as you just have to click where the field is and start writing or typing.

I see.  I could see that working. Are you actually  typing into the pdf forms fields?
