The suggested procedure is to write out the global variables either
immediately when a field has been filled, or when the page is closed
(or in Acrobat 5 when the document is closed). The code for this is
global.blabla = this.getField("fieldWithDataForBlabla").value ;
When opening another document, it is suggested to check if the
appropriate global variable exists, and then load it into the
according field. This action is best done in the PageOpen event.
if (typeof global.blabla != "undefined) {
this.getField("fieldWhichShouldGetDataFromBlabla").value = global.blabla ;
} ;
And that should make a proper and working global variable transfer.
If the global variables should become persistent, see the syntax in
the Acrobat JavaScript Object Specification.
Hope, this can help.
