I am trying to create an Adobe Form where I want to include the data from a text field (from within the Adobe form) into a paragraph of text elsewhere in the form.  I can't work out a way to do this, e.g.

at the top of the form they enter their organisation name into a field and within various other text boxes (or preferably text fields) this text field is included.  As per the example below, in the first field they enter in their name.  In the second text field I have entered some default text that I want to include the output from the first text field.  So, if they don't want to change the standard wording they don't need to do anything but if they do they can simply enter in new text to that text field.

I moved your post over from the poorly named Community Help forum, which is for getting help using this forum system, to a better forum, Acrobat.

 

If this is not the exact Adobe program you are asking about please post the Name of the actual program.

There is NO Program call just Adobe. Adobe is a Company that has 20+ programs.

As the custom calculation script of the second field you can use this JavaScript code:

 

event.value = "At " + this.getField("IOrgName").valueAsString + " we believe...";
