Designing a form in InDesign and looking to create a header with a few text fields. When the user inputs the information on the first page, it will appear on all following pages. Please note, I am creating the interactive form by Exporting as Adobe PDF (Interactive). Hoping to achieve this in InDesign vs. preparing the form in Acrobat. Thanks in advance for any tips.

As long as the form field is named the same, it can be placed on multiple pages, and the input entered on page one will be entered on all subsequent forms/pages.

The area in which you can re-name a form field is shown in screen capture. You would select the bottom form field, and name it the same as the top form field.
