We have several forms that will require the user to enter the same information and these forms could be generated by different departments.

Is there a way to "link" the forms so that if a user entered in maybe their name and address it would automatically "populate' the other form(s)?

It is possible with JavaScript to perform this as each field is filled in, but you may lock others out of the other forms or disclose information as others open the other forms.

One can also export an import FDF or XFDF files in different form and as long as the forms have fields with the same names, type, and purpose the data can be transferred.
