With New System.Diagnostics.Process
    .StartInfo.FileName = PdfTk
    .StartInfo.Arguments = Pdf_File & " dump_data_fields output " & fdf_file
    .Start()
    .WaitForExit()
    .Close()
End With

What I have tried:

the startup via "Win10 / ausführen" works

We have no idea what the variable PdfTk contains, whether that path exists on your computer, or what the problem is.

Probably, because it won't compile.
Your two strings aren't delimited properly:

VB

Pdf_file="""P:\VB Entwicklung\_Meine Projekte\ARRE\InBearbeitung\PM 20181011 2519.62 bkk9.pdf"""
Fdf_file="""P:\VB Entwicklung\_Meine Projekte\ARRE\InBearbeitung\formular.fdf"""

Should fix that.
