1. Design 2 different forms with the SAME field names. Layout is not important.

2. Export FDF from one filled in file.

3. Import FDF into the other file.

If you can't find these functions please let us know your version of Acrobat Pro.

No, this is not something that could be done on Android.

If you follow my steps, there isn't any path specified, so I'm not sure what you mean.

It could also be done by using templates to add different form field pages to the PDF or by JavaScript to populate form fields in a different form.

Would this work on an android device as well windows.

If the FDF is in the same directory as the forms do you need to specify the path or would just default to that?

Can you fill automatically on opening the second PDF?

Thanks
