Hi, 

 

I found this script months ago in these forums or outside of these forums, I can't remember the author to give proper credit to him/her.

 

var x=this.getField ("Text3");        

if (event.fieldFull) {
getField("Text4").setFocus();
}

 

So this is not my work but an adaptation of the source.

 

You may be able to add text from one page to the other if you use "Prepare Form" tool and add text fields instead by placing  the above  javascript in the Custom Keystroke Script of text field "Text3" (which is in page two of my document as shown in the slide)

 

this is the only option that will allow you to do what you are asking instead of using  the "Edit Text & Images" to add text in your document and flowing from one page to the other. As a matter of fact you can type anything in the text field that contains the script and when it fills up with text it will continue to add lines of text in whatever other fields you specify to continue on.

 

Using this method will allow you to transition from one page to the next seamlessly  if you are typing your own text in these fields. Make sure that in "Field Properties" ---> "Options" tab you tick the checkbox that says "Multi-line" for both text fields.

 

 

 

In the slide above I meant to illustrate a two page view; Text3 is on page 2 of my PDF document and Text4 on page 3.

 

The text that you see in the fields was copied and pasted over and over, when it reached the end of Text3 in page 2 it continued to paste in the empty Text4 of page 3, you may continue to daisy chain this short script between text fields accrooss different pages like this.

Text that you add to a PDF page will NOT automatically continue to the next page when you reach the end of the page. It will just be pushed into a part of the "text box" that's beyond the page limit, and therefore not visible.
