You can import and export data by using XFDF (Acrobat forms
only) or XDP (XML forms only). For example, to import data into
a form created in Designer, create a valid XDP XML data source.
Consider the following example mortgage application form.
To import data values into this form, you must create an XDP
XML data source that corresponds to the form. You cannot use an
arbitrary XML data source to import data into a form with the Form
Data Integration service. The difference between an arbitrary XML
data source and an XDP data source is that an XDP data source conforms
to the XML Forms Architecture (XFA). The following XML represents
an XDP data source that corresponds to the example mortgage application
form.
