Hi,

I have a multi-page PDF document. It looks like this:

I am trying to make it so that text entered will automatically flow from the text field BODY1 to BODY2, and so on. I also need it to be selectable when someone else opens it, with CTRL+A like here: https://erc.europa.eu/sites/default/files/press_release/files/erc_press_release_adg2015_results.pdf

How do I do this?

Thank you!

Not sure if this is exactly what you wanted or if it will work across pages...but while I was trying to find the same answer I found this solution to flowing text from field to field. It's not perfect, but it pretty much did what I wanted. I too, find it hard to believe it's "not possible". Here's the link.
