I want to create Fillable Forms that connect to each other. Is this possible?

Question

Here is my idea and what I would like to do.

I have forms that need to be filled out for clients. Depending on the client's needs and desires, I may have to choose from many different forms.

I've been using Adobe to fill these forms out electronically, but I would like a way to fill out ONE "Main Form" with all the important information I need.

I would like to take the data from that "Main Form" and somehow import it into whatever forms I need to have for that client.

I know how to create fillable forms, but is there a way to export that data into another form?

Thank you 🙂

If the field names are the same, you could export the form data from the main form to a data file and then import the data file into the other forms. It's possible to generate a data file (FDF) that contains just the subset of the fields that match the other forms, but it requires some programming. There are other options, but they too involve programming.
