XFDF is the XML version of the "Forms Data Format (FDF)" specification. It is designed to representing form data and annotations that are contained in a PDF form.

XFDF stands for "XML Forms Data Format". Where the original FDF uses syntax and file structure similar to a PDF document, XFDF uses XML. This makes it easier to build many XFDF structures than their FDF counterparts. However, XFDF does not implement most features of the original FDF, including: Status, Encoding, JavaScript, Pages keys, EmbeddedFDFs, Differences and Target.

The correct MIME Type to use for .xfdf files is application/vnd.adobe.xfdf.

XFDF was introduced in 2003 in PDF version 1.5, the full XFDF 2.0 specification is available from Adobe as a separate document.
