Hi,

I tried to fill a PDF fill template with an xdp file by using  
PDF::Toolkit.pdftk(“C:/pdf/fic2028.xdp”, “fill\_form”,  
“C:/pdf/fic2028.pdf”)

But I got the following error  
Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - “pdftk” “C:/pdf/fic2028.xdp”  
“fill\_form” “C:/pdf/fic2028.pdf” “-” “dont\_ask”)

I don’t know, I checked, and my files are in the directory

hi

you need to install pdftk binary, i’m not sure if it supports for  
windows but you can check this link
