I tried the following command line

foxit_reader.exe book.pdf -ImportFDF annotation.fdf

and got the following error message:

"Cannot import or access the form data"

I put all the files in the same directory and tried full path (short names with no spaces) everywhere and it still gives the same error message

The same fdf file is fine if you open it through the GUI

Thank you for prompt reply.
Are you planning to include it into next release?

That I know of more features will be added into command line in future versions. But they will not be included in next release, I think.

I will make a suggeston of this feature (import FDF from command line) to the developers.

I open the FDF file from the command line by specifying it as the only parameter with no switches. It opens the original PDF (since the FDF has a reference to it inside its body) along with the notes stored in the FDF itself. Yey!
Now it is only a question of getting the font working
