If you send it to another location, that data can be imported into the form fields of a PDF file at that location. See "Using CGI Scripts to Collect FDF Information" below for more information.Īfter you create an FDF file, you can let another application parse it and populate a database with the information, or you can electronically send it to another location. You can also set up a form button to create an FDF file and send it to a Web address (URL). Choose Document > Fill-in Form if the creator of the PDF file enabled the Fill-In form feature. In Adobe Reader 6 and later, you can export form data from a PDF file. You create FDF files in Acrobat by choosing Advanced > Forms > Export Forms Data (Acrobat 6 Professional) or File > Export > Form Data (Acrobat 5.x). FDF files are smaller than PDF files because they contain only form field data, not the entire form.
FDF is a text file format specifically for data exported from PDF form fields. After the information has been added to form fields, you can gather information from the fields and save it in a Forms Data Format (FDF) file.
