I have an Acrobat 8 Dymnamic form that I am trying to autofill with info from an excel spreadsheet. Is this possible? If so, how? I was given this project today and I've got a deadline of this Friday and have about 4500 entries to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
josh

If the form is not allready setup to load data from the spreadsheet then you will have to do this in LiveCycle Designer. This requires knowledge of the form architecure, Acrobat, and scripting. If you have this tool(it ships with Acrobat 7 and 8 Professional) then take a look at the "Data View" tab in LiveCycle Designer and look up connecting to a data source in the Help documents.
