It's been a few years since I had to work with FDFs so forgive me if my info is a bit off, but... my understanding is that you don't need to attach the PDF, just the FDF. Note the line in the FDF that begins with "/F." It indicates a URL from where the PDF can be downloaded. What should happen is that the recipient opens the FDF, Acrobat sees that /F bit and downloads the indicated PDF, filling in the fields as indicated in the FDF.
