Can a form field be completed 1x but used multiple times in a form
Problem
Have one form field in an Adobe Acrobat form that needs to be shown on each page. Can this be done with the user only having to input the information one time?
Solution
You can achieve this by giving the same name to all the fields you want to populate with the same information.
Detailed explanation
When you create a form field using text field tool, the name for the particular field is also created inside the text field. It will be similar to text1, text 2 etc. You can populate the data in a particular field to other fields by giving same field name. The attributes are applied to all the fields with the same name. That means when you enter a data into any one of the field, the same will be entered into the other fields with the same field name.
For example, if you have a PDF from with 2 pages and you have 2 form fields one in page 1 and the other in page 2. Give the same name for both text fields. The data entered in any one of the field will be applied to all the fields with the same name.
