Use the cfpdfformparam tag inside the cfpdfform tag or the cfpdfsubform tag to populate fields in a PDF form.Use the index attribute of the cfpdfformparam tag to specify fields with the same name and different values, as the following code shows:
<!--- This example shows how to use multiple cfpdfformparam tags with the same name and different index values for a PDF form that contains fields with same name. ---> <cfpdfform source="c:\payslipTemplate.pdf" destination="c:\employeeid123.pdf" action="populate"> <cfpdfformparam name="phone" value="781-869-1234" index="1"/> <cfpdfformparam name="phone" value="617-273-9021" index="2"/> </cfpdfform>
Use the index attribute with forms created in LiveCycle only. Forms created in Acrobat cannot contain more than one field with the same name; therefore the index attribute is not valid.
