data between different forms ie workorder number same workorder number different forms

[mikew51232926]

Hi I am looking for some examples of passing a work order number, date etc. between different pdfs, I is depending what the maintenance request is, that will require different forms to be completed.  i haven't done this before but understand that it can be done using fdf.  Anyone have any suggestions, examples

Thanks

1. Design 2 different forms with the SAME field names. Layout is not important.

2. Export FDF from one filled in file.

3. Import FDF into the other file.

If you can't find these functions please let us know your version of Acrobat Pro.

Would this work on an android device as well windows.

If the FDF is in the same directory as the forms do you need to specify the path or would just default to that?

Can you fill automatically on opening the second PDF?

Thanks

It could also be done by using templates to add different form field pages to the PDF or by JavaScript to populate form fields in a different form.

No, this is not something that could be done on Android.

If you follow my steps, there isn't any path specified, so I'm not sure what you mean.
