I created a simple fillable form with some fields auto-populating in a section at the bottom.
I'd like my user to be able to change some of those auto-populated fields if needed.
Anyone know how to achieve this?
(I've created in Acrobat Pro. If my user fills it in Reader does that make a difference? I can't test it myself in Reader as it keeps crashing and crashing.)
Stumped...
Thank you!
In order to do that you have to give those fields unique names and then use a script to copy the value from the main field to them. For example, let's say you have fields called Name and Name_Copy.
Set the custom validation script of "Name" to the following code:
this.getField("Name_Copy").value = event.value;
When the user updates that field it will automatically copy the value they entered into the Name_Copy field, but they'll still be able to independently edit the value of Name_Copy, if they wanted to.
