I am unable to print .fdf files. Only a blank page is generated. Does anyone have any recommendations?

FDF files are not printable on their own. They only contain form data. You need to have a PDF file (with matching field names) to import them into and then you'll be able to print that.

Just to clarify: You could print FDF files on their own, of course, but it will just be a stream of mostly unintelligible text...

In theory, it is possible to write a parser that will read such files and print out a neat version of the field names and values stored in them as plain-text, but not with Reader (or even Acrobat, for that matter).
