Merge data and a PDF file?

Question

Hi,
I´m trying to render/merge data into a PDF file using FormServer (7.0) and .NET. I notice that if I use the xdp version of the pdf, FormServer will return a pdf with the merged data. However, I cannot acomplish this if instead of a xdp file document I use a pdf file (dynamic 7.0 created with livecycle designer 8).
This works:
String sFormPreference = "PDFForm";
String sFormQuery = "ExpenseClaim.xdp";
This doesn´t woks:
String sFormPreference = "PDFForm";
String sFormQuery = "ExpenseClaim.pdf";
Isn´t it possible to merge data directly into a PDF using FormServer. I rather use a pdf file instead of a xdp file, because, a xdp file will need to be converted to a PDF file. Thus it will spent more time accomplishing the merge.
Thank you

Try using PDFMerge as the transformation.
