About the Form Data Integration Service

The Form Data Integration service can import data into a PDF form and export data from a PDF form. The import and export operations support two types of PDF forms:

•	An Acrobat form (created in Acrobat) is a PDF document that contains form fields.

•	An Adobe XML form (created in Designer ES) is a PDF document that conforms to the XML Adobe XML Forms Architecture (XFA).

Form data can exist in one of the following formats depending on the type of PDF form:

•	An XFDF file, which is an XML version of the Acrobat form data format.

•	An XDP file, which is an XML file that contains form field definitions. It may also contain form field data and an embedded PDF file. An XDP file generated by Designer ES can only be used if it carries an embedded base-64-encoded PDF document.

You can accomplish these tasks using the Form Data Integration service:

•	Import data into PDF forms. For information, see Importing Form Data.

•	Export data from PDF forms. For information, see Exporting Form Data.
