I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0
I am trying to combine a First Name and Last name field.

Under Test Field Properties of the Combined Field, what do I type in the Custom Calculation script to combine First Name and Last Name fields automatically. (I also need a space between First Name and Last Name)

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 9.0, Windows

Hi BBI,

This one gets asked a lot. Try this phrase in the search box at the top of this page-
"combine two text fields"
You should find some scripts already written that will help you out.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri

Thanks Dimitri.

I found it.

For anyone who needs the answer.

var cFirst = this.getField('First Name').value;var cLast = this.getField('Last Name').value;event.value = cFirst + ' ' + cLast;
