Help with Duplicated PDF Form Fields Retaining Answers

Question

I have a fillable PDF with multiple pages, and I duplicated some of the pages to expand the document. However, the duplicated form fields are linked, so when I fill in one field, the same answer appears across all duplicated pages. Is there a way to duplicate pages but make the form fields independent without manually renaming each one? I’m working with a PDF that spans hundreds of pages, so I’m looking for the fastest and most efficient solution. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Yes, but converting the page to a Template object, which will allow you to spawn new copies of it, with unique field names. Doing so requires some knowledge of scripting, though.

If you're interested, I've developed a (paid-for) tool that will allow you to do it very easily and quickly, without having to write any code. You can find it here: https://www.try67.com/tool/acrobat-duplicate-pages-of-a-pdf-file-including-form-fields
