Batch fill different fillable PDFs with same information

[Royce5FA8]

Hi All - 

Been digging through the forums searching for an answer to this, and what I find is a different scenario to the one I have.

I've created several fillable pdfs, each covering different elements of a work process.  Each form needs to have the same information, e.g., name, address, phone number, etc., in fields at the top of each document.

I'd like to batch fill these different docs in advance to streamline the process for users.  I know there are third party batch pdf apps that autofill a single pdf with different data from a spreadsheet, but is there a way to batch fill the same info into different pdfs?

Thanks in advance!

Certainly, using Acrobat Pro, but only if the fields in all the files are named the same way.

If they are then you can fill in one file with the desired data and then export the form data to an FDF file, and use the Action Wizard to import that data into the other files. Let's say you saved it as C:\Files\Data.fdf . You can then use this code to import it into the other files:

this.importAnFDF("/C/Files/Data.fdf");

Just make sure to add a Save command after the Execute JavaScript one, and you're all set!
