How to duplicate text field into every other page

[Lars21]

Hi , I already know you can duplicate text boxes across all pages.

THE PROBLEM IS!

I make fillable templates (I've stopped using canva due to their copyright BS). I make completely custom designs that I came up with off the top of my head so the fact that even if you import your already made designs into canva they can claim its theirs you will have no rights if you try to sell it or use for commercial use.

I made it I don't want to tag canva to MY etsy shop.

So I switched to adobe. Which finding the right product to edit my designs in has been an entire hassle and overly complex. Especially for SIMPLE tasks you would think a company like adobe would also have a feature to select only odd pages or only even pages. So people can edit or duplicate text forms.

The only solution I came up with was to try to split them before uploading into adobe then after editing merge them together. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS!!!!!

If they can't even allow me to select only even or odd page, how in the hell am I going to successful merge to files 160 page total then go back and have to put them in order.

Its annoying because on Canva, If I wanted to only make a mass edit to ODD NUMBERED pages I can. I can also sells page 4 page 11 and page 23 and only mass edit those if I wanted to.

I'm confused why Adobe who has been in the game way longer and has a crap ton more funding can't seem to figure that out.

I am hoping that maybe I am missing something. Maybe someone has the answer or solution to this with out me spending 6 hours to manually enter text fields to 160 page. The text fields would need to be spaced out and placed differently based on every few pages. Something that should take an hour maybe has now taking me almost 3 days to figure out what would seem like a very easy fix.

Adobe Acrobat is a PDF editor not a dsktop publishing or design software. Canva and Adobe Acrobat are two different things.

You can use scripts for this.

Not really... You can't remove widgets using a script, and duplicating a field using a script is limited. You can't apply all the actions that can be applied manually, for example.

I am thinking, if you can share an example of a PDF file that you're trying to edit maybe we can help with a few other approaches.

It may ne possible, that in order to achieve something with Acrobat, you nees to employ other tools, like Adobe Illustratos or Photoshop, for example.

However, I use the "Edit Text & Images" tool frequently to manually design static contect in a PDF and then empluy the "Prepare Form" tool to ads widgets and other field object to the PDF.

It is not the best approach, but I frequently work with those tools around some of the limitations with acceptable results.
