Set fields to default value when form loads

[ballj_35]

Everyone,

  How can I do a reset form or set the forms to default values whenever it is loaded?  Or if I could call the reset form when it loads, that would work also.  Been doing google and I cannot find the right landing page.

I believe this is a bad idea, but if you really want to do it open the file in Acrobat Pro, then go to Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts and create a new item (call it "scripts", or something like that). Delete the default function code that is generated and replace it with the following:

this.resetForm();

Again, I would avoid doing it, as it could seriously annoy the users of your form...
