You don't need any special rights or a script or anything like that. Just drag and drop the FDF file onto the PDF and it will be imported into it.

You would need two things.

1. The original form that the fdf was produced from

2. Adobe Acrobat (not the free Reader).

Do you have these?

Yes I have the Acrobat.
But it's our customer, who wants to do the import. He has only the reader and asks for help.

Yes. You have to give rights for them. I assumed you had a form and Adobe Reader and wanted to do this.

It is possible with the JavaScript method importAnFDF when the document has form rights.

Hallo Bernd

danke für die Antwort. Aber wie wende ich das JavaScript im Reader DC an?
Im Acrobat kenne ich die Script-Funktionen in Verbindung mit Formularen - aber beim Reader???

Im Netz habe ich folgenden Hinweis gefunden https://helpx.adobe.com/de/pdf/adobe_reader_reference.pdf
In einigen Arbeitsabläufen senden Personen ausgefüllte Formulare die reinen Datendateien in Formaten wie FDF oder XML. In Acrobat Reader DC können Sie die Daten importieren, um sie im Kontext der vollständigen PDF-Datei anzuzeigen:
Klicken Sie im oberen rechten Fenster auf "Erweitert"  und anschließend auf "Daten importieren".

Ich habe aber im oberen rechten Fenster kein "Erweitert"....

When the document has form rights you will get this options.
