My apologies for the lengthy description. I am trying to figure out how to use a user filled and submitted pdf form to open a secondary form (the secondary form would only be accessed by my team) and fill fields using data provided from the submitted form. The user submitted form is an order form consisting of text form fields and check boxes. The check boxes represent the product available during 3 separate dates and there are 50 or so product available, with the option to choose one or all 3 available dates for each. I require the check boxes to return a text field value representing the product on the secondary form, for example, check box named card 1, card 2, card 3 all checked would return a value of card123 in a text field on the secondary document. The other fields would be text field to text field exports from the user completed form to our "in house documentation form" for things like address, customer name, etc. Is this even feasible? Any help or suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated!

For this to work, the fields must have exactly the same names in both forms
