Auto Populate Form Fields in Adobe PDFs - Repeating a Field in Other Parts of Your PDF
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 июн 2024
- Three different ways to auto populate form fields by repeating or duplicating a form field throughout your PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro. See how to create repeating fields that users fill in once, and the response populates in other parts of your PDF. This is useful when you capture a user's Name at the top of a form and then you want that person's name to populate in other places throughout the PDF document.
Scenario 1: Duplicate Across PDF Pages
- Automatically copies the field once at the top of each page of your PDF
Useful to auto populate a Name or DOB on top of each page of a packet of forms
Scenario 2: Copy & Paste
- Allows you to place the field anywhere throughout the PDF where you want that field repeated
Useful when you want to duplicate a field to appear in multiple places
Scenario 3: Custom JavaScript
- Allows you to program existing form fields to auto populate from a designated field
Useful when your existing form field properties are already named, and you want to set them to auto populate
JavaScript code used in this video:
var field1Value = this.getField("Name1").value;
this.getField("Name2").value = field1Value;
//Replace "Name1" and "Name2" in the code above with your respective field names

Thank you for a great tutorial! Is this possible when working with Signature Fields?
This was great. I need to capture the other field and add asterisks to the beginning and ending of the text. What would you need to add to the JavaScript?
i've created an invoice would love to have a way to pull up client info and it fill out the fields instead of typing name, address, phone, email over and over. any way to do that?
Excellent
Thanks for watching!
