Hello!

I want to copy the formatting and fields of a PDF form and paste it on another PDF form. How can I achieve this and capture all formatting including numbers and underlines that are housed in text boxes? Is this possible?

Thank you so much!

Do you mean interactive form fields? or are you asking about copying page content?

Thank you so much for that explanation, Thom! I used the select object tool to easily copy form fields from one pdf to the other. Before seeing your post here I decided I needed to update my original document with any individual or part changes as editing the PDF was a nightmare. I should design my original document understanding changes will need to be made on the original.

Then, how would I update my original document and bring those changes over without starting from scratch on the pdf side? Or, how can I upload changes from my original document and maintain my PDF form fields as they were?

Open the pages panel, right-click a page and select "Replace Pages". This replaces the graphics and text of the PDF but leaves the form fields as is.

In form editing mode, press Ctrl + a (select all) then Ctrl + c (copy). In the 2nd PDF press Ctrl +v (paste).
