I've created a multi-page form. I would like the information that a user enters in one (or two) of the boxes on the first page to repeat on the following pages without them having to re-enter the information. Is there a way to link these fields?

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 8, Windows

Add a text field on page one and name it Text1. Add another text field on page two and name it Text2.

Copy and paste this JavaScript as a On Blur Action in Text1 text field.

var a = this.getField("Text1");
var b = this.getField("Text2");

b.value = a.value

Thank you, Eugene. Makes sense except for where/how exactly do I enter this script? I put it in the area near "Show" where it allows you to type a script, and selected JavaScript to Run At Client, but it doesn't seem to do anything when I preview it as a pdf. I have the "show" set at "initialize*" I've done nothing with Text2 except name it Text2 and mark it as "calculated"

What am I doing wrong (forgive me, I'm REALLY new to this!)?
