Using an Action, how do I repeat a text field that I created on the top of the first page?

Question

I created an Action that creates a text field on the top of the page. How do I get it to repeat it on the top of the remainder of the pages in the document?

// Create the "DatePrinted" field on the top of the first page

var fldTop = this.addField("DatePrinted", "text", 0, [36,774,576,756]);

fldTop.value = "DatePrinted";

fldTop.textSize = 14;

fldTop.textfont = font.Arial;

fldTop.textColor = color.red;

fldTop.alignment = "center";

fldTop.display = display.hidden;

fldTop.readonly= true;

fldTop.doNotSpellCheck = true;

fldTop.doNotScroll = true;

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

You need to place your code inside a loop from 0 to this.numPages, changing the third parameter of the addField method to the page number in each iteration.

My solution for any interested parties... Not elegant, but it works

for (var pg = 0; pg < this.numPages; pg++) {

// Place text field on the top of the page

var f = this.addField("DatePrinted", "text", pg, [36,774,576,756]);
