If you are creating a new form and you want the same fields, then there is an easy technique. Simply replace the pages in the old form with pages from the new form.

If you want something more dynamic, i.e. a scripted solution, then it is also possible to write a script to copy fields from one form to another.

Look at the properties of the field object.
