you can probably just loop the command

filenames.each do |filename|
  pdftk form.pdf fill_form data.fdf "#{filename}.pdf"
end

Awesome, just add the "flatten" word at the end of the fill-form command to make it not editable.

Like:

# fill form
pdftk form.pdf fill_form data.fdf output form_with_data.pdf flatten
