JavaScript with Adobe Acrobat

Post by Assured99 »

Here is a question,

I have an adobe acrobat PDF document that is about 13 pages long.

I want to be able to fill out one page with all the required information and have it auto-populate the rest of the fields in the 13 pages. Which are all pretty much the same; NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER etc...

I am not that fimiliar with JavaScript so im seeking some help it should be a simple Var or Array, but i just dont know.

any help would be great

Acrobat's scripting subsystem is Javascript, but I don't recall how it's done. I avoid adding script hooks, personally. I just generate the PDF or FDF.
