Question

Good evening,

I am working on a a form that has two parts. The first is regular, but the second part is accomodated for zine printing, meaning it has upside down fields.

So the first part is just to add data and the second to print the data. I had the both fields named the same and it does the trick of copying the data, but the upside down fields don't rotate alone, so it won't print right.

How can I make FieldA = FieldB while FieldB has a 180° rotation??

Thank you so much for your help!

I assume you have Acrobat, as you won't be able to add fields at all using Reader...

If so, you can give the fields the same name, and just change the Orientation setting of the upside-down ones to 180, via the field's Properties, like this:

 

That way you would only need to enter the text once (in either field) and it will appear correctly in both of them:

(Top field has the Orientation set to 0, bottom one to 180)

You can't change the form with Acrobat Reader.
