Question : Several copies of same fillable page in one document -- same form fields on each page but form fields must be named differently

We have a one page form that we have created to be a fillable PDF.

However, we need to make this document a ten page document (all the same page) with form fields.  I cannot use the duplicate feature, nor the make multiple copies feature.... neither suffices for what we need.

I need each page to have identical formfields, just named differently .....does this make sense?

Hi

You have one page with multiple fields and you want to multiply that page in the document, but each page should have it's own set of field names.

Not usually the way you would use the form function so now easy included feature from Adobe's side....

You can only semi automate this, if you don't want to use the 'Multiple copies' option. The renaming of fields is not something you can automate. You will have to rename the fields yourself, but you can do this in A9 from the 'Fields' view  tab so it is not that much of a pain (depending on how many you got, of course).

You start with your existing final PDF and make a copy of it and the you inseert pages from the copy into your first PDF until you have 10 pages. Then rename the fields

but I guess you know that already

You could use the 'Multiple copies' option but as this limits you to the same page, you will have to use a trick for this to work, in essence you have to create a blank PDF page 10x the size of your page (in Word or so) and then create all your fields as you need them ONCE, select all fields and then create multiple copies of the whole selection. I have only tried this on 10 fields but it does work.

You can now copy the fields in their blocks to the final pages, which you can create as 'blank' form page without fields.

Just an idea
