Convert PDX to FDF

Understanding PDX and FDF file formats

PDX files are index files used by Adobe Acrobat to enable fast searching of PDF documents. They contain metadata and references to the actual PDF files, allowing users to perform quick searches across multiple documents. PDX files are essential for managing large collections of PDFs efficiently.

FDF (Forms Data Format) files are used to store data from PDF forms. They contain form field data and can be used to import or export data to and from PDF forms. FDF files are particularly useful for handling form submissions and data exchange in a structured format.

Converting a PDX file to an FDF file is not a straightforward process, as these file formats serve different purposes. However, if you need to extract data from a PDF indexed by a PDX file and convert it into an FDF format, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the PDF document associated with the PDX file in Adobe Acrobat.
2. Navigate to the form fields you wish to export.
3. Go to File → Export → FDF to save the form data as an FDF file.
