I am trying to create a field on my Lifecyle (version 8) form that will display fields from the form properties. I am specifically after fields in the "Info" tab section under Form Properties.
I want to fill in a Version and Title and have them displayed on my form.
I sure can't figure out how to access these built in properties of the form, and would
appreciate any help (I love sample code). I don't mind Javascript or FormCalc.

Thank you.

var docTitle = this.info.Title;
Textfield1.rawValue = docTitle;

Also JS-readable information are

Author
Subject
Keywords
Creator
Producer
CreationDate
ModDate
Trapped

But this only works with Acrobat not Livecycle cause there is no JavaScript supported for these doc-objects in LiveCycle.

I appreciate your reply. I was able to get this working, but am dissapointed that I can't access any of the LiveCycle Info properties in Acrobat. I also don't see where I can apply the Acrobat properties to the form when building it in LiveCycle?
