Default value in Adobe Acrobat 8.0

Hello,
I am creating a blank form to be filled out by our agents for ID Cards (they have the watermarked paper to print on). Basically I have the 2 sets of identical text boxes (size and name) placed with a default value naming which box is for which info (ie. Policy #, VIN #, Make etc). The agent would like to populate the boxes so each ID Card (there is 2 cards) fills out. For some reason with the default value in there it will not work.

Any suggestions? I REALLY appreciate any help you could give me.
Thanks,
Stacy

Hi Stacy_W,

If the duplicate fields are named exactly the same this should work for you. I just tried it with two text fields named "Name" with the default text of "Name." When I type my name in one field and hit enter the newly typed name appears in the second field. The only thing I can think of is that you have some slight difference in the names of your fields under the General tab of the fields properties panel?

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

Thank you so much -- I recreated those boxes and now it works -- I just tabbed to the others and it showed up.

Have a great day!
Stacy
