I have been searching the forums for this topic ,but frankly am running out of time. I have developed a form that consists of several pages and need the information to dill in automatically when that field is updated. The first sheet has all of the information that corresponds with the additional sheets, so by filling in the fields in the first sheet it should populate all the other pages. For some reason I can not get that to work? Help

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Hi doncollins,

If multiple fields have the same name they all populate once any of them has data entered into it. So for example, if you have a field named FirstName on page one and a field on page 4 named FirstName, the user only has to enter something into the field on the first page and the other will automatically get the same data. It is case sensitive.

You will need to go over the form and make sure all the fields you want to be identical have the same name.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
