How can I copy the form field values from one set of fields to another using javascript.
The idea here is to have a 'use shipping/billing address' type of button that copies the user information from one block of fields to another identical set of fields.
Right now, I call an action upon click of a button to execute the following javascript:
this.field1.value = this.field2.value;
However that action yields an 'undefined' error in the debugger.

The form looks like this: Check this box if Billing Address and Mailing Address are the same. The JavaScript used to achieve the effect looks like this:
Acrobat JS Developer Guide Creating Acrobat DC form fields 65 You can use JavaScript to create a form field by invoking the addField method of the Doc object, which returns a Field object. This method permits you to specify the following information: The field name.
With it, for example, you can create a document that reports back a list of all form fields in the document, along with their types and values; another application is to summarize all comments in a document. The JavaScript for Acrobat API Reference has an example of the latter application in the Report object section.

For posterity, this is the solution to the problem:
getField("field2").value = getField("field1").valueAsString;
Also, note that field2 is set to field1 so the order is backwards.
