Autofill

I have various forms that I have converted to pdf. When filling out these forms there is a lot of repetative information that needs to be inputed each time. I'm wondering how to fill out one form and have the information automatically fill in on the other 2-3 forms.
Any help would be appeciated, hoping to cut my paperwork in half.
Thanks, Doug

Hi Bifferiffic,

Are you able to combine the 3 forms into one PDF- are they just separate pages of one PDF file?

If yes, then you can just give the redundant fields the same name- when the field on the first page form is filled out it will automatically fill in for every other field with the same name.

If they are three separate PDF files the solution is much more complex. The forms will all have to communicate with each other, and in order to do that they all have to have known locations relative to each other and they all have to be disclosed.

Hope that helps,
