I want to create a pdf form layered over the top of my company's check artwork for the purpose of filling out manual checks. Can I create a text box that will automatically fill with written text when the dollar amount text box is filled out? I then want to save it so it can be filled out by a user with the latest version of Reader.
Thanks!
John

You can do all of these things. The auto field population feature is done with JavaScript and the "Fill-n-Save" feature is activated from a menu item on the "Advanced" menu in Acrobat 8.
You'll need to learn a bit about JavaScript to do the auto-populate feature. But here's an idea. Use the calculate event for the field that needs filling.
I can't tell you how to do it until you tell me which forms technology you are using, AcroForms or LiveCycle forms.

Tom, thank you for your quick reply. I am using AcroForms for the job.
Do you think I can get what Java script guidance I need from the included help files or do you have recommendation for a third party instructional tool?

All you need is the Acrobat JavaScript Guide and the Reference. Plus you should read all my articles;^)
