I'm trying to fill a PDF form from an FDF file with the following
command line on a Windows 2003 Server SP2:
pdftk TCFv1u.pdf fill_form TCFv1.2515.fdf output test.pdf verbose
and I get
Command Line Data is valid.
Input PDF Filenames & Passwords in Order
( <filename>[, <password>] )
TCFv1u.pdf
The operation to be performed:
filter - Apply 'filters' to a single, input PDF based on output args.
(When the operation is omitted, this is the default.)
The output file will be named:
outpdf
Output PDF encryption settings:
Output PDF will not be encrypted.
No compression or uncompression being performed on output.
Creating Output ...
Notice that the operation is filter, not fill_form. The resulting PDF
does not have any of the FDF data in it.
Another interesting note is that I downloaded the latest version:
pdftk_free-2.02-win-setup.exe
which would seem to indicate the latest version is 2.02, but it
self-reports as
pdftk.exe --version
pdftk 1.44 a Handy Tool for Manipulating PDF Documents
