Importing and exporting 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. Select Document > Forms > Export Forms Data.
2. Type a name for the file in the Select File to Save Form Data dialog box.
3. Click Save.

To import data into a PDF document:

1. Select Document > Forms > Import Forms Data.
2. Select the file to import in the Select File Containing Form Data dialog box.
3. Click Open.
