Passing information to PDF from a MS Form

New Here ,
Oct 15, 2025 Oct 15, 2025

I have a PDF that is fillable and we use it to print report coversheets for our clients.  I would like to create either an Adobe Form or MS Forms to get the information for this to be passed to the PDF and then the print it.  The information is Year of a return, Type of Return, Name, Street Address and City, State and Zip.  My question is how do I take the information from an input form/screen and put it into the pdf to print it.  I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro on a subscription.  HELP!

There are several ways to move data from one PDF form to another.  If the field names are the same in both forms, then the simplest is to export data from one and import it into another. This process can be automated with a script. 

You'll find several scripts for moving data here.
