Basic FDF data is easy to create using native PHP; you don't need Adobe's FDF Toolkit. I wrote a function for this purpose called forge_fdf(). You can download it from:

I created it for my book, PDF Hacks. An example of forge_fdf() in action can be viewed online:

Download the full code for this online example from:

Note how the PDF form data is submitted back to the server via POST rather than FDF. No need to parse FDF.

Cheers-
