Hello,

We would like to create a pdf document where one field is filled out from the user and the rest of the fields on the pdf are auto filled from an excel type file.

Example - Name is typed into the form and with that, the address, SIN number, etc is auto populated from a master spreadsheet.

What version of adobe is required to be able to do this?  Currently we use Adobe standard but we think something more advanced is needed.

Thank you

It can be done using Acrobat Standard, but it's less simple, because you don't have direct access to the document-level scripts.

But you can still use a script to set it up, like this one I've developed: Custom-made Adobe Scripts: Acrobat -- Populate Fields From Dropdown
