Auto-fill forms

Where is the information stored that auto fills forms? I have a different address and email from when I purchased my Mac and every time I fill out a form, auto fill inserts my old information. Is there some way of updating to my new info?

Safari->Preferences->AutoFill. Edit the three choices as desired. For the address and email, I suspect it's in your address book. For websites, it's in your login.keychain.

  • My Safari Auto fill forms never works

    My Safari (V5.0.1 (6533.17.8)) Auto fill forms never works. It is precisely tied to my
    address book card. I get this message:
    AutoFill completes webpage forms using information from your Address Book card or from web forms you completed previously. The information required by this form does not match any of the information available to AutoFill.
    but every thing matches.
    And yes prefs checked to use address book.
    Any thoughts please? Thanks

    HI Steve,
    Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) Select Passwords on the left.
    Delete the "Safari Forms Autofill" keychain.
    Relaunch Safari.
    Hope this helps...

  • Auto fill forms in Adobe Acrobat Pro 7

    Hi All
    This may have been answered already, if so I couldn't locate the answer I'm seeking and I apologize.
    I am currently working with Adobe Acrobat Pro 7 and the form I have has multiple combo boxes (drop down) on the form and I wanted to know if it's possible for me to link certain forms together so that when the information from combo box 3 is selected from the drop down menu it will automatically populate the information in combo box 12? Combo box 12 will have completely different information though.
    Here is my example: We have an upwards of 30 departments and with these departments are different contact names and with these contact names there is the phone number and the email address, all in different fields on the form...currently, I have made a drop down for the department and have everyone manually fill in the other information, however, now everyone wants to be able to auto-fill the other fields such as the contact for that dept, the phone number and the email address of that contact, based solely on the selection of the dept. combo box.
    Is it feasible?
    If it is, I'm an your everyday run of the mill admin asst and my Javascript skills are nil, so please let me know what to put and in what box.
    Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    It is feasible, but does require some moderately advanced JavaScript, so it's not a simple matter of telling you where to place the code. There are a lot of details to consider, but a series of articles that should get you started if you decide to learn more is available here: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle
    Otherwise, I would suggest finding a consultant to do this for you, if there's a budget for it.

  • Auto filling forms based off of previously entered data.

    Looking for a way to create a feild that will auto fill based on previously entered data.  For example.
    First________
    Middle_______
    Last_________
    Ideally i could take someones names they enter and auto fill a feild for Last, First, Middle or even a Last, First, Middle Initial.
    any thoughts??
    Thanks!

    Played around with this today...been very busy with other work and got this to work for Last, First mi
    // Get the field values, as strings
    var i = this.getField("first").valueAsString;
    var j = this.getField("middle").valueAsString;
    var k = this.getField("last").valueAsString;
    // Set this field's value if both fields are not blank
    // otherwise, set this field to blank
    if (i && j && k) {
         event.value = k + ", " + i + " " + j.slice(0, 1);
    } else {
         event.value = "";
    I am brand new to this and was curious are these "var i , j, and k" just for this field.  Or will these continue to be how I refer to the first , middle and last fields?
    Also, other than just playing around with this, is there another way to learn this stuff?  I find it fascinating.
    all the best

  • Auto fill form from web page content

    I need to fill a field in a PDF form (version 8 or newer) with a value provided by a web page.  The webpage is a counter to provide a unique, sequetial number.
    I have been able to do this with Get() when using FormCalc, however I need more logic control than is provided in FormCalc.
    I have attempted to implement the logic with JavaScript and getURL. When I open the form the JavaScript Console indicates: "TypeError: xfa.host.getURL is not a function"
    Here is my code with some console diagnostics included:
    console.println("formEmailed = " + xfa.form.topmostSubform.formEmailed.value);
    if( xfa.form.topmostSubform.formEmailed.value == 1) {
      console.println("assignedTR = " + xfa.form.topmostSubform.assignedTR.value);
      if( !xfa.form.topmostSubform.assignedTR.value == 0){
        console.println("Getting URL...");
        xfa.host.getURL("http://somehost.com/index.html", true); //Get( "http://somehost.com/index.html");
        console.println("Field value = " + this.rawValue);
       // Verify a value actually got assigned
        if( this.rawValue.length > 0)
          xfa.form.topmostSubform.assignedTR.value = 1;
      } else {
        console.println("Not getting URL");
    Note: formEmailed and assignedTR are global variables.  The code is associated with the DocReady event.
    I have been unable to locate any examples of filling a field in a from from a webpage.
    Ultimately, I want the value from the webpage assigned to this.rawValue so that the value becomes part of the data in the form.
    Suggestions?

    Thanks.  I could not move the discussion, so I reposted to the LiveCycle forum.

  • Auto fill not working with sign-in accounts (in Safari)

  • How to: Create a master form that auto-fills data into other pdf forms?

    I hope someone can please help me.  I have about 15 PDF forms that all require similar data entry (name, address etc). Can I create a master form that we fill in once per client, and then auto-fill in the matching data on the 15 forms? 
    I am not looking for an online solution as the information is highly sensitive. 
    I have already created a form in Acrobat X Pro with the 'master data', and created the (15) forms with identically named fields.  How I link the forms now to the master, I cannot figure out (after much searching).
    I have read similar questions on the same topic but have not found any answers.   I hope this time someone can please help.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Thank you!  I had just figured out how to export the data from the master as an FDF file and then import it to the other files.  I'm afraid I don't understand scripting to automate the process across multiple files.  To you mean with java script? 
    I've also thought about combining the forms, once we know which ones the particular client will need.  I have to see how it works in practice for my colleagues who will be using them.
    Thank you again.

  • Auto Fill Shipping Address from Billing Address on a New Form in SharePoint 2013

    I have a new form on SharePoint that has a few fields:
    Billing Address 1 (Single Line of Text)
    Billing Address 2 (Single Line of Text)
    Billing Address City (Single Line of Text)
    Billing Address State (Drop Down Menu)
    Billing Address Zip (Single Line of Text)
    Shipping Address is the Same (Yes/No Check Box)
    Shipping Address 1 (Single Line of Text)
    Shipping Address 2 (Single Line of Text)
    Shipping Address City (Single Line of Text)
    Shipping Address State (Drop Down Menu)
    Shipping Address Zip (Single Line of Text)
    The object is that a user would fill in the Billing Address Fields, then click the "Shipping Address is the Same" check box and the Shipping Address Fields would auto fill with the Billing Address Fields.
    I've tried using a CEWP and editing the form file in SharePoint Designer 2013. I just don't know how to make this Dynamic auto fill work! Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!

    Use a custom web part
    Design the form controls and in "Shipping Address is the Same" check box check event or button click,
    copy the same data into a label form contains the same fields but in form of labels instead of textbox and dropdownlist.
    try this solution and let me know.

  • How do I auto fill a date field for an Adobe form?

    Hi. I am new to Acrobat. I would like to have Acrobat auto fill today's date in a date field when I open an acrobat form. I check the forum help and it indicated that I associate this javascript text to the field:
    var f = this.getField("Today"); if (f.valueAsString=="") f.value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
    However, when I try it out, nothing happens.
    Any clue as to what I am doing wrong?
    - Michael

    Hi M. Krebs,
    Is there a text field in the PDF labeled "Today" and set as a date field? And does the Date Options format set for the field match what is in the JavaScript (mm/dd/yyyy)?
    Best,
    Sara

  • I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill u

    I have a user on Adobe Reader X.  whenever they open a .pdf file, the form fields do not auto-fill until you click in the box.  Is there a setting that can be changed to make the form open properly?

    Sounds like the form fields were filled in on a Mac using Mac Preview. This cannot be fixed in Reader only Acrobat. Ask the person who filled in the form to redo their work in Adobe Reader.

  • I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
    If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

  • Form is auto filling fields

    I have come across pdf applications online that let you fill them out right there and submit them which is awesome but I have come across a few that auto fill all of the boxes in the section. Mainly when it wants previous employers, I will enter my current employer and it will put that info into all of the other previous employer fields. When I go to one of the other previous employer fields and change it to the correct info it changes all of the others to that information... I am very confused about what is going on and can't send in these apps because it shows that all precious employers are the same one...  Any help?  Thank you in advance

    This means that the form was not created correctly and all of those field names are the same. If you're able to edit the form in Acrobat, you can correct it by giving each field a unique name. If that's not possible, try to get the form corrected by whoever supplied you the form.

  • Creating Auto Fill Prefix for filling out forms

    I am trying to find a program or a setting in Safari that lets me save different profiles for filling out forms on different websites. I am a realtor who does several reports a week, and it would be nice for auto fill to fill out the form completely and then I can just go back and make a few changes. Is there a way to do this, and can I set up different templates so I can switch the autofill depending on the site / property?

    HI,
    From your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Make sure *Other forms* is selected. Once you've filled out data one any site, Safari should "remember" and autofill for you.
    Other than that, you could try the Safari Extensions Gallery here.
