Do you have different <form> sections in your editform, i guess you have 
for each submit button on action to process.
Does your form use a PageTemplate or is it DTML? If it's a PageTemplate 
have you read the Form Processing section in 
http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/AdvZPT.stx ?

And please explain: Do you use one DTML document for abstract, one for 
body etc., it sounds like that for me. Or is it just metadata of one 
doc? Why not just use CMF? Too heavy maybe(?)

I hope i could help a bit,

Florian
