Description Steven Haigh 2015-03-03 11:49:36 UTC
Say I have a form that has two pages - and a textbox called "MYTEXT". If I add another textbox called "MYTEXT" on the second page, then the text entered on the first page should auto-fill to the second page.

We utilise this a lot to autofill many different forms from a cover sheet. Currently, as this is broken, I have to fill out each page of 5+ page PDF forms manually - this takes MUCH longer to fill out :(

Reproducible: Always

Please attach such a file
Comment 2 Steven Haigh 2015-03-04 00:07:18 UTC
I can supply an example - however the PDF shouldn't exactly be public issue. Can I send an example to you directly?
Comment 3 Albert Astals Cid 2015-03-04 00:09:38 UTC
I read it as if you knew how to manufacture such files, ideally a file that is publicly available is MUCH better since it enables other people than me to work on the issue, which given how little time i have is something you really want :)

But worst case scenario, yeah send it in, but understand it lowers the chances of the bug getting fixed.

Ok, I've emailed you a PDF directly to reproduce... If it requires a public source - I'll see what I can put together later in the week as an example and attach it to here.

Example PDF.

I've added this attachment. I have since learned that all sub-forms are publicly accessable - and therefore no conflict exists in attaching it.
