I'm doing the same thing in a C# application. The technique I use should
work fine in Ruby also. The XFDF files are pure XML, so I use an XML
builder to generate the XFDF file. Under Windows, I can also take
advantage of the fact that files with a .xfdf extension are associated
with Acrobat. For example, if I tell Windows to execute "MyForm.xfdf",
Acrobat will launch, read the xfdf file, and automatically open the
Acrobat PDF listed in the xfdf, and populate the form fields using the
data in the xfdf file.

I need to fill out PDF forms with XFDF files in Ruby.  I can't find any
lib that can do this - does anyone know of one?

Failing that, I can invoke another process - but I can't find a command
line tool for this either - pdftk handles FDF, but not XFDF.

Any ideas?
