Copying text boxes-easy answer I hope.

[Former Community Member]

I am using the form creator (livecycle) in abobe acrobat 8 pro to convert a scanned document to electronic. I have inserted text boxes where needed but would like some of the boxes to automatically fill when information is typed in other text boxes. I can not figure out how to link two text boxes and have the entered text copy to another. I figure this must be a simple task but I am totally perplexed. Thanks for you help

Let's say you have two text fields, TextField1 and TextField2.

Select TextField1 and open the script editor. Select language:javascript, select show:change and enter the following:

TextField2.rawValue = TextField1.rawValue;

This will copy the text entered in TextField1 into TextField2 when any change to TextField1 has been made. You can experiment with the different choices under show.
