Automatic filling with javascript

Hello everyone,

I need some help about automatic filling PDF dynamic document.

I’ve created a dynamic pdf form with acrobat pro. We can find several fields on the document, like Name, Surname, address, … which come back many times on many pages. To save time and not fill in these same fields each time, I’d like to find a way to automatically fill in all Name field when the first one has been filled in. So that the user doesn’t need to fill in all fields with the same information.

I saw the possibility to implement javascript code in acrobat pro which seems to be a solution.

Does someone know what JS code I could use to do this ? Or a better solution ?

Thanks !

Just give the fields the same name and they'll automatically have the same value. No scripts required.
