Question

How to make extended fields onto templates

I'm making an order form with 6 pages. I've made it so with one option selected it deletes the last 5 pages and with another selection it spawns the same 5 pages which I have made into templates. The problem I'm having is that on the original document I had multiple extended feilds so that one thing typed on the first page copied to every page. Since they have been turned into templates each page renamed it's feilds so they don't copy any more. How do I get the extended fields back so that when someone else is using it everything copies across the pages as it should?

    In script you use to spawn template did you set field rename to false?

    No, I didn't. What would the script be for that?

    Actually, I got it to work with spawn({nPage: pageNum + 1, bRename: false})

    Since your other threads are in the Acrobat forum, I'm moving this there.

    When you post a question you always need to tell the program you are using
    There are MANY programs in a full subscription, plus other non-subscription programs
    Please post the exact name of the Adobe program you use so a Moderator may move this message to that forum
