I'm not sure, if I remember it correctly, but I think it was like this.\r\n\r\nThere are 2 form formats with PDF: AcroForm and XFA. pdftk can only use AcroForms. But a PDF can contain both form formats.\r\n\r\nYou should google for pdftk + acroform. Also mabe this helps: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17226484/pdftk-and-xfdf-file-not-filling-in-form"}}
