paste in place

I have a 50 page document that was given to me and they want a link back to the table of contents page. When I create the link once and choose copy/paste, it pastes in the center of each page, not where it was and I don't see a paste in place option like I would expect from InDesign. How can I do this without pasting and manually aligning with each page?

There's no such option in Acrobat, but if you use a button field instead of

a link you'll be able to duplicate it across multiple pages, at exactly the

same location.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It's odd that this duplicate function isn't available for other things too.

I ended up adding the text in as a new footer element and then adding the button on top of each.

Acrobat X would "paste in place" by default and I'm still using it since DC now offsets pasted content. Most of the time I'm trying to paste in letterhead elements so I want them to appear in exactly the right place. It's irking me that when Adobe make changes they don't consider that perhaps the previous behaviour was useful. It's not hard to make a freakin' option for this stuff - why not follow the lead of Illustrator and Indesign and other apps and provide "paste-in-place" as well as just "paste", or even paste-front/paste-back? ARGH!
