I have a 3 page document in Acrobat, each page having a text field on. How do I link the 3 text fields one each page so that the text flows between them. Once field 1 is full the text flows into field No. 2 and so on. I have zero experience in Javascript but after searching about this, this is possibly how I can do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

in older Acrobat versions this was possible. why not now? or, is there another Acrobat program that let one do this?

It was never possible, in any Acrobat version. You can use a script to achieve something similar to it, but it will always have issues. For example, you will lost one keystroke in the moment a field is filled in, before it goes to the next one.
