You probably need to be making sure to directly reference where pdftk is installed, as such:

passthru('/usr/local/bin/pdftk /forms/test.pdf fill_form /forms/test.fdf output - ');

Also, you can add >> output.pdf at the end of the command to create a new pdf file.

To further debug this, check the size of the downloaded file, and take a peek at it in an editor. I am guessing you have output before or after this code.

Remove echo $fdf_file,' written successfully.';
