Question

Unable to clone five fields across four pages in Acrobat PDF

I'm preparing a five-page document for e-signature. Only the last two pages will have signatures, but the last four out of the five pages will have repeating information on the top of the pages, to be pre-filled before sending out the document. I sent a similar letter last year without any issues cloning fields. This year, however, Adobe PDF will not let me move a cloned field to different pages. It just pops back to the previous page. While it's not a showstopper to have to type in this information a few times, it is definitely going to take a lot more time for me to do this on the 700+ letters I have to send out. Is there an issue with the newer version of Adobe that needs to be fixed, or a workaround to cloning these fields? I've tried just typing in the name of the field that I want the information duplicated to, but of course, the software won't allow that. 🙂 I'll probably try to report it as a bug.

    Hi DR+Deana,

     

    Thank you for reaching out, and sorry about the delay in response.

     

    Please let us know if you use Acrobat or Acrobat Sign to add the form fields. It would be helpful if you could share more information or the screen recording to better understand the workflow used. 

     

    Thanks,

    Meenakshi
