PDF (FDF) form fields to filePro

[Jean-Pierre A. Radley]

| I have need to import form fields from a PDF form into filePro.
| Adobe seems to save this stuff into a proprietary FDF (Forms Data Format)
| file.  
| 
| I suppose if I could convert this from FDF to normal text, csv, etc,
| it might not be too difficult.
| 
| Anyone done this?  is this the right route?  Also, assuming this is the
| way to go, anyone have a perl script that does the conversion so I can
| run it on my unix box?
| 

I don't have a form created with "special rights" (which enable import
& export of data), so I can't test this, but I read in Abode Reader
on-line help that you can

	save the form-data as a tab-separated text file, ... FDF ....
	or XFDF ...
