Auto filling multiple feilds

Hey All,
How can I Auto fill multiple feilds from what is imputed into one feild?
eg. someone types their name into textfield1, and I want this name to show up in multiple location in a form.
I searched and found this This code:
this.parent.textfield2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
and
textfield2.rawValue = this.rawValue;
but this only seems to fill one field. I tryed to change the name of each of the corrosponding fields to textfield 2, but still only one field was filled in.
Also, is there a way to auto fill the current date/time into a feild? and if so, is there a way to calculate a future date? eg. I want a field to auto fill the date 1 year from today.
thanx much.

You might have to write the whole paths of the fields if in subforms
but one solution is to continue the same way, (There might be an easier way without having to repeat the same line over & over again! ..with an array of fields I guess)
but anyway...
say your fields are named Textfield1, Textfield2 & Textfield3: you'd write:
this.rawValue = Textfield1.rawValue
this.rawValue = Textfield2.rawValue
this.rawValue = Textfield3.rawValue
if for example Textfield was inside a subform called sub1
you'd have to write:
this.rawValue = sub1.Textfield3.rawValue
for current date & time, you can use:
txtCurrentDate.rawValue = util.printd("dd/mm/yyyy",new Date()) + ' ' + util.printd("HH:MM",new Date());
sorry, I dont know how to do date calculations but if you find out, please let me know!

  • Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

    Hello,
    I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs.  I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
    We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process.  Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields?  We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
    This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads.  I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
    Many thanks to the forum!
    Regards,
    Geoff

    Hi Geoff,
    Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
    Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
    In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2010/01/adobe_secured_customer_showcas_8.html
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=762388&l oc=en_us
    However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
    If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
    Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
    Kind regards

  • 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

  • Safari Auto Fill Issue - Same domain with multiple logins

    Hello Group,
    I am working with Safari's Auto Fill feature for user names and passwords on website pages that I log into and it is not doing what I would like it to do. For some reason I am unable to save more than one login per domain and is not seeing the entire url path. If save my user name and password for say this url path of ************* it will save the user name and password but when you look in safari->preferences->autofill, its only showing the top level of the domain and not the entire path.
    And if there is a different page on the site located at a completely different url path such as *********** that I need to log into and I try to save a user name and password for this different url path, it asks me if i want to update the current user name and password, and I don't want to do that, I want to save a new different user name and password for this second login screen.
    Is there anyway to get this to see the entire url and remember separate logins for each different page on the same domain? Thanks.
    Doug
    <Edited by Host, URL's removed>

    To the moderator. Thank you for approving my post, but how am I suppose to show what I am talking about if you go and remove the url examples I put in my post? The links were not bad, spam or etc, they were just examples paths I made up.

  • 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 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.

  • How do you get auto fill to use the right E-mail address?

    Hi Everyone
    My address book card has multiple E-mail addresses on it. Yet when I want to use auto fill to fill out a form, 100% of the time it's just one address I want to use. The problem is safari always uses only one of the addresses and it's not the one I want to use. Is there a way to change which address (or any other field) from your address card is used in auto fill?
    TIA
    K

    Since you don't say how many email addresses you have on your own card or which of them it's picking, I'll assume it's choosing the first one in the list. If that's correct and it's not the one you want, you need to change the order of addresses to make the one you want be the first one in the list.
    Other than that, you cannot set a default item for any field.

  • Safari 3 Gmail auto-fill no longer working, latest Gmail software

    Gmail now indicates that auto-fill (of email addresses) is not supported on Safari. They say it will work with Firefox. Auto fill worked fine until the last Gmail client update, plus Safari 3.
    I feel it's in Apple's best interest to work this out with Google, quickly. Anybody else aware of this? I see multiple postings on Google's Gmail support site.

    I noticed this yesterday but I swear it was working this last week and I have had Leopard and newest Safari on the machine since Oct. 30. I noticed Safari wasn't pre-filling like it used to and assumed it had to do with 1password which I have loaded up recently.
    I hope Google and Apple get this worked out - I was just celebrating the fact that Safari is now able to let us use Google the way it should be used.

  • Mine USED to auto-fill

    Mine USED to auto-fill a known name within a cell. i.e... If I already had entered a name, just starting the name again would show choices to auto-fill the cell.  It does not do that anymore.  Why?
    Also another item... if I place a name in a cell followed by a number, i.e. John 27... when I "Fill Down" the column it continues the number sequence, i.e. John 28, John 29, John 30, etc, etc.  How do I stop this action? I don't recall this ever happening before.
    Please respond asap.
    Thanks, john

    Hi John,
    "if I place a name in a cell followed by a number, i.e. John 27... when I "Fill Down" the column it continues the number sequence, i.e. John 28, John 29, John 30, etc, etc.  How do I stop this action"
    Here are two ways:
    Use a formula to generate the multiple copies:
    ="John 27"
    Fill down, Copy, then go Edit > Paste values.
    Enter the value into the first cell.
    Click the cell to select it. Copy.
    Select all cells to receive that value. Paste.

  • IOS8 / Safari not auto filling alternate account info and password

    Hello,
    since upgrading to iOS8 on my iPad4, Safari no longer auto fills alternate account / password info on same website.  'Settings' shows that I have multiple login/pass infos available for the same site.
    PReviously, I could initiate the first couple letters of the account name, and the option to have Safari auto populate the rest of the info would be available.

    I should also mention I am not in private mode.

  • Auto-filling proceeding fields from user's initial input - Possible? How?

    Hi there,
    I'm quite new to LiveCycle (and scripting). That being said, I'm trying to create some automation in forms for work.
    I've been asked to create a product order form in which the Order Administrator would choose the product from a list of Product Codes. Once s/he chooses the Product Code [numeric field] from this list, the Product Description [text field] appears right next to it, and then the Product Price [numeric field] would populate the last field. I will duplicate this over multiple rows into a table, then autosum the last column which should be filled with various product prices, taxes, S&H, etc. (autosumming the Price field is easy enough - this is not my issue so let's just focus on the major concern of auto-filling descriptions and prices for now...)
    For e.g.
    Product Code
    Description
    Price
    6759-85746-098 [Order Admin chooses from list]
    Large textbook (x1) [Automatically inputs based on Product Code]
    $30.00 [Auto-inputs from Product Code]
    5864-98723-124  
    Black pens (x10/set)
    $5.25
    I've tried for days to figure out how to script this, going through numerous forums, printing off reams of Adobe help documents, trying to learn Java and/or FormCalc in solitude, and yet I still can't figure this out. To explain, I'm not a coder/developer but a print-focused graphic designer.
    If anyone knows how I can solve this I'd be very grateful. I'm now wondering if a) I need to somehow connect (bind?) the information in an external database or sheet (Excel?), b) figure out some elaborate script that would automate these descriptions and prices, and/or c) bang my head against the wall in fruitless frustration.
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

    A simple example.  May not meet your needs depending on the number of products.
    Droplist named ProductCode
    Text Fields named Description and Price
    Java Script the droplist on the change event
    if (xfa.event.newText=="5864-98723-124")
    {Description.rawValue="Black Pens"
    Price.rawValue="$5.25"

  • Is there a way to add an auto fill on name and address

    I have a document, and it has multiple places where they have to put their name and address. Is there a way to add an auto fill so they do not have to type it so many times

    there is no auto save feature.
    if your work was with audio recordings, you might be able to rescue the audio fils themselves. ctrl-click the project, select Show Contents, and open the media folder. if the fiels are there, drop them into a the timeline of a new project

  • How do you delete "auto-fill" addresses in Mail?

    When you start to type a name in Mail, it gives you a list of email addresses associated with that name. Problem is, it'll list multiple email addresses for the same person even if you've deleted old addresses from Address Book.
    Is there a way to delete some of these "auto-fill" addresses?
    Thanks

    hi,
    i'm having same problems but previous answers on this post do NOT work i.e. clicked on the window and deleted about 200 "old" and no longer used add's and primarily two of my kids old email add. however when i go to type her a mail both her new and old appear??

  • BIG problems with iOS 8.2 Safari ("dark mode" menu bar, no auto-fill, etc)... HELP, please?

    So I was simply wiping the dust off my screen, with Safari open, and once I had finished... Safari just went belly-up.
    And I need some help badly.
    First thing that I noticed was that Safari now has a "dark mode" menu bar.
    Secondly, my auto-fill user names and passwords no longer "auto-fill" - I have to place the cursor in a field and have the keyboard pop up in order to access the auto-fill function: previously, the fields simply, well, auto-filled.
    And, thirdly, when I attempt to post a message to the Apple Support Communities, there is no visible text in the body of the text. I'm using my MacBook Pro to type this message.
    I have searched and searched to try to find remedies to my problems, but I can't find a thing. There's nothing unusual in Accessibility (that would make the whole screen, for example, grayscale), nothing changed in passwords, etc.
    I'm at my wits end! Even restoring from an older backup doesn't remedy any of the problems.
    Can anyone help?

    If the menu bar at the top of Safari show white text on a grey background, and autofill isn't working, then you probably have private browsing 'on'. Tap the icon top right of the Safari screen (the square on top of a second square), tap the Private button at the top of the next screen and then Done - Safari should then go back to its normal colours and autofill should work again

  • How can I get the drop down window for a ID and P/W "Always remember" Auto Fill

    Recently I had a mail issue with my ATT (Yahoo)  Mail account and they temporarily changed by Password.
    After the issue was resolved I changed it back but the auto fill kept the temporary Password in Safari when I log onto my e-mail account via the internet instead of the Apple Mail program.
    In the Past, whenever I would put a different P/W or ID there would be a drop down window that said :
    Never, later or Always remember", at least something like that terminology.
    Since I have had no reason to change P/W or ID lately I do  ot know if it is Lion issue or if there is a way of getting the drop down to appear.
    Thanks,
