I would like to be able to transfer information from a master pdf form, which is fillable, into another form by the push of button.Any feedback?

I meant that the button is part of the master pdf document.
Both documents will have common fields ie Name, ID #, DOB, etc, which i assume should make it a little easier to export into the new created form.
Which steps should I take ? I am a novice user of Acrobat Forms.

Basically, you should:
- Save the date from the fields to an array, including the fields names.
- Open the other file and save a reference to it (using the openDoc() method).
- If this was successful:
- loop over the array, applying the old values to the new form fields (using getField() and the .value property)
- Save the date from the fields to an array, including the fields names.
- Open the other file and save a reference to it (using the openDoc() method).
- If this was successful:
- loop over the array, applying the old values to the new form fields (using getField() and the .value property)
If the former, then the file to which you want to copy the data must be "disclosed", ie it must have an embedded script that sets its disclosed property to true when it loads.
