I want to create a Button to automate a task for me. When the button is pressed in duplicates the infomation that has been entered . So the form is filled in and TextField 1 at the press of a button populates TextField 2 .

does anyone know the code to do this or could point me in the right direction on how to learn to do this?

This is a very basic operation. You should definately spend some time to learn a bit about scripting in Acrobat. It'll help with all kinds of tasks.

You'll find everything you need to perform this simple task here:
