Create a new PDF form from an Existing form

New Here ,
Apr 19, 2023 Apr 19, 2023

Please help if you can.  We have two separate branches within our division at work.  The form that each branch uses is similar.  Branch "A" uses a form that has special fields while branch "B" uses the same form but without the special fields.

 

Is it possible in Adobe, to take data from one adobe form, place it into a new adobe form but only target certain fields, then attach the new form with the merged data into an email to send to a recipient?  The boss wants a "submittal" button to initiate this process.  Is this possible with Adobe Pro?  Can it be initiated in the Adobe writer?  Thank you so much!!!

You can export form data from one file and import it in another, of course. If fields exist in the first file but not the second one they will just be ignored in this process. Fields with the same name in both files will be copied.

So yes, that part is possible. Doing the entire process automatically is trickier, though, and would probably require installing a script on the local machine of each user.
