I'm creating an order form for my work. I've got everything pretty much done except for the "voucher" I'm attempting to create at the bottom of the page.

I want the user to be able to input all of the information into the form at the top of the page and then have acrobat automatically populate the voucher at the bottom of the page as the user inputs the information.

Is this doable? If so, how would I even begin?

Thank you!

If you want to put all the information into one text, you can use a "flowting field in text".
Therefore you create a text with enought space for all information.
Then do a right click and select "flowting field".
Designer creates a hidden text field.
You have to rename it to the field name of the filed you want to get the value from.
You also have to set it's binding to global.
That's about all.

Repeat this steps for every value you also need in the voucher.

Okay, that seems to work. The only problem is, in order to get the fields updated, I have to click in them. When I click in them, it fills in the field with the correct value that I input at the top. Any idea how I'd get it to automatically update?

Thank you!
