I made a form that need to use info entered in a text box that will appear in other place in the document. I made copy/paste but when i fill my form both are writable. I try to modify my name#2 to put read only but both become read only.
 
I have 12 pages so i don't what that in all 12 pages my field can be fill, just in the first page and after use the info on the other page.
 
Example : I fill my first text box : name : Charles
In the next page, it will write my name, Charles but i will not be able to modify, only on the first page.
 
Thanks,
 
Charles

Give the text field that you want to be read-only a different name, and use the following script in the Validate event of the editable text field.

// Validate script
getField("text2").value = event.value;


Replace "text2" with the name of the read-only text field(s).
