Import/export PDF form data

---

You can export data from forms and Nitro PDF Professional exports the data in a FDF (form data format). An exported data file is much smaller than a PDF document. You can email an FDF file to another user who can import the data in a PDF file, or you can use FDF files locally and import data into your forms. When you import data into a PDF file, the file must have the exact same name fields (including case sensitivity) as were named in the file exporting the data. Nitro PDF Professional ignores all field data where the field names do not match between the form exporting the data and the form importing the data.

To export data from a PDF document:

1. Open the PDF in Nitro PDF Professional.
2. On the Form ribbon tab, in the Form Data group, click Export.
3. Type a name for the file.
4. Click Save.

To import data into a PDF document:

1. Open the PDF in Nitro PDF Professional.
2. On the Form ribbon tab, in the Form Data group, click Import.
3. Select the file to import.
4. Click Open.
