js that only works on current page?

Question

Hey guys,

my problem is that populated fields only works one the first page after being copied.

When i copied the same file into it, it said that all the fieldnames with the exact same name will become "one", could i do something against that?

i have a document/page that i need to have 2,3,4 or 5 times in inside the same pdf, with same fieldnames but i still wanna use the populate function to be working, does someone have an idea? i hope you get what i mean, my english is not the best for these typ of things.

You will have to rename the fields for them to be unique. One easy way of doing that is to define the page as a Template, and then spawn copies from it using a script. The script can set all the fields to be renamed automatically.

I've developed a (paid-for) tool that allows you to do it with just a couple of clicks:

I'm not sure what you mean about using the "populate function" to fill them in, though.
