Hi
i have an Adobe acrobat document with 15 pages. I need to have page 7 Twice....so I extracted page 7 from a copy of the document and inserted it into the final document after page 7.....but received a warning that the two pages would be treated as a ‘field’ which meant that each was a ‘mirror’ of the other, and any changes to one affect the other, but I want to make small changes to the ‘extra inserted’ page 7.....it says about compiling it as a portfolio, which doesn’t look like what I want.....I tried inserting a blank page then replacing it with the ‘copy page 7’ but that had the same effect as inserting it.....any ideas please ?
thanks

If two form fields have the same name, then they will have the same value. It always works that way.

You can actually just copy the page in Acrobat Page View panel. Or in the "Organize Pages" view.
If you have form fields on the page, then they will need to be renamed on the new page.
Use the Acrobat JavaScript Reference early and often

Did some More research and found it is the Field name I need to change in properties, not tried yet, but can't understand why such a very expensive program such as acrobat pro doesn't give the option, " would you like to rename the field .,?" When adding a page of the same name as an existing one, it Does know as it suggests creating a portfolio......also no option for default Fonts......think needs some improvements....

Solved it
actually found the solution, took ages.....so many misleading ‘helpful’ websites.....
either
A open acrobat and chose EDIT PDF then chose yes ti rename fields, right cick in and text field and append the name with something to make it unique, repeat for ll text fields that are identical to others....simple when you know how LOL
B open the file, choose tools forms EDIT and the same as above

Its Actully quite simple
Go to tools > organise pages , all your pages will be laid out , click in the blank space between pages and a menu will pop up on that menu it will have "insert page" BINGO !
