I am guessing this is a 2 part question/answer:

 

1) I am looking to use a button to open a new pdf fillable form

2) When it opens that new form I want it to take the info on the form open and popluate certain fields

 

Is this possible?

    It's possible but there are better and worse ways of accomplishing this. Will the second form always be known to you? In other words are the two forms always associated with each other?

      Yes both forms will always be used.  One is a quote form than when it needs to be updated to an other I wouild like the user to use the button to create an invoice that would auto populate with the needed fields.

        When I use your script the pdf does not open, see below

         


        That's OK - You don't need to see it to populate the data. You only want to use Export at the end of the process.
