I have a situation where the original PDF form on a website was deleted. Now when I try to open an FDF file that was created using that form, it tries to find the original PDF file, which is no longer on the web server. I could restore it, but my web server's content management system assigns a system-generated GUID to each new file as part of the URL. So even though I could restore "Form.pdf" to the "Forms" folder, the new file will have a different GUID, and thus a different URL, than the original file that the FDF is looking for.
When the FDF doesn't contain a base location for the PDF form, Acrobat Reader prompts you to locate the PDF form. Is there a way to make the Reader do the same when it can't locate the embedded base location? I know I can just export the data into a spreadsheet, but some users would like to look at it on the form.
