Merge XDP data with dynamic XFA form

The following code imports XDP data into a dynamic XFA form.

using (FileStream inFile = new FileStream("Purchase Order.pdf", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
  // open 
  Document document = new Document(inFile);

  // import
  using (FileStream inXdp = new FileStream("data.xdp", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
  {
    XdpFormData xdpData = new XdpFormData(inXdp);
    document.Import(xdpData);
  }

  // save
  using (FileStream outFile = new FileStream("Purchase Order Filled.pdf", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
  {
    document.Write(outFile);
  }
}

Form before and after import

Note how table rows are added dynamically and how content is pushed to the next page.
