updating the pdf when the original source file is changed

Question

Good DayI've created the source for my fillable pdf in excel and created the pdf. When I look at the result, there are areas that need tidying and fixing. Is there any way to link the excel file to the pdf so that if I change the excel file the pdf will reflect those changes, without having to go through the whole process of re-defining all the fields in the pdf?Thank youChris

No there is no automatic link.You need to create a new PDF from the updated Excel file and then open the old form field and replace the PDF page with the new PDF file. This will result with the form having the new PDF page content. You most likely will need to adjust the location of the fields, but you will not need to recreated the form fields nor recreate the scripts for the from.
