Link text fields on several pages in Form

Question

Hello! For weeks I'm trying to find a simple solution for the Form that I'm making for one of my clients.

The textfields (answers) are pretty long, and they need to able to be printed. Therefore, the text fields will consist of several pages (not scrollable).

Is there a possibility to type from one page to the other - on the next page in a form (when you're typing in the PDF)? I can't figure it out how to do this in Indesign (nor Acrobat). Hopefully it's not too complicated with javascripts and all? 😕😕

Can I link the text fields with a simple action? Please let me know, thanks a lot!

For standard AcroForms, there is no good solutions for this issue. It is possible to detect when the user has typed to the end of a field and then jump the focus to the next field. But it is not a clean solution. If it's not done right you lose the last character typed. And there is no way to go back, this is a forward only thing.

The alternate solution is to use LiveCycle Designer to create the form. This forms technology allows fields to grow as text is typed into them.
