[@SharonSmith]

🔍 Need to repeat form fields in your PDF? Check out three scenarios in this video where different methods for auto populating form fields in Adobe Acrobat Pro will work for you. Here is the JavaScript code used in Scenario 3 in this video: var field1Value = this.getField("Name1").value; this.getField("Name2").value = field1Value; Here is a timestamp to jump to the 3rd scenario in the video: 03:38 Custom JavaScript to Auto Populate a Field

Can be script be written to take information from 3 different fields and populate one field. I am only able to use the written script to take the data from field 1 to filed 2 not from a second or 3rd. Is it possible? Thank you very much!

[@daviddanielson3402]

@@asd3513 Were you able to write script for this?

[@chillingmax6035]

This is great! Thank you! But I was wondering, is there a way I can make the text fields autofill both ways with JavaScript? When I use the script that you provided, it only autofills one way, for example if I type in text the “name1” text field, it autofills the “name2” text field, but not visa versa, I need the script to be able to do both 😅

Thanks Sharon. A great video showing 3 ways to auto-populate fields in fillable PDFs. To the point without a lot of extra and loved the "Psych" shout out in your example. 😆

How I can populate some fields from one adobe acrobat pro form to different adobe acrobat pro forms. I have 5 forms that the 1st part or section is the same information. How I can link them or make them populated those specific fields.

[@BillPletka]

This was great. I need to capture the other field and add asterisks to the beginning and ending of the text. What would you need to add to the JavaScript?

Thank you for the video I don't know maybe it's just that I'me tired, but the image of the person over the PDF for me distracts a bit to the content of the video.

Nice video! Can you recommend a plugin for Adobe Acrobat Pro that simultaneously renames multiple field names within a PDF? I want to duplicate a template 100 times within the same document (each template has 50 fillable fields) and am looking for a plugin capable of renaming all the fields to make each field name unique.

[@krzysztofr838]

Did you find it?

[@daviddanielson3402]

Hi Sharon Smith I need your help! Is it to possible Populate one field with the data from three different fields. So that data can be copied and pasted as a group of data for use in a File Name. This comes from the use of a Service Report in order to be consistent in File Names.
