   Pathagoras can scan an Acrobat form for the 'raw' names of the text boxes. Pathagoras will identify display those names as variables onto the familiar Instant Database form.

   All you need to do is assign personal values to replace the variables. To set this up, select a PDF that you want to scan. If you want Pathagoras to scan the PDFs variables into an existing Record, select that Record. Check the Scan box from the Action column.

Click to expand.

   Press the Next button on this screen and Pathagoras will open an IDB screen and place the existing variables and their values onto the screen. Pathagoras will immediately scan the PDF for any 'new' variables and append them to the bottom of the IDB screen. Complete or edit the variables as needed.

   Press the “Next” button on the IDB screen. Pathagoras will save your IDB changes and then instantly fill in the fields in the PDF.

   The personal values can be saved (just like with 'regular' Pathagorized forms) and can be reused with other Acrobat forms AND with other Pathagorized Word documents.)
