Same form on multiple pages

[PianoGod]

Hello and good day,

I would like to know if there's a way to have a pdf form that can be used on another page, rather than opening up the form as a new document.  I'm not sure if that makes sense, but for example: Let's say I'm doing a budget request for Finance division in a company.  Since I'm going to be submitting a lot of the same form, it would be nice to open the same form on another page with the empty fillable boxes...instead of saving the document, reopening the form and filling out the new information on the same form.  Is this possible? 

Thanks for your time.

Two things.

1. The creator of the form would have to do that or you would need Acrobat to do it.

2. Since the form will be repeated, each field with the same name would automatically populate with the same information. So, that might work to your advantage but then again, it probably wouldn't.

If you had Acrobat and din't want the fields to automatically populate with the same information, you would have to go through and rename all of the fields. I would assume that would be more work.

So let's say, using my example, that if I were using Acrobat for creation of a Finance request form, I'd have to rename the fields in the form to use on multiple pages?  How would I allow users to open the form in multiple pages on their own? 

I suppose if the information would automatically populate in a repeated form, I could have the information be generic so it could be changed.  For example, First Name:  (first name here)   Last Name:  (Last name here).   Would that work? 

I apologize, I'm new to using Acrobat and trying to minimize the workload for the forms our company uses.

So yeas, if some information needs to be the same on multiple pages like your example, they can be the same name. If it has to be different say, similar fields but with different values, those fields would need unique ID's (names). Even if just adding a number or something at the end of the name.

Hope that makes sense.

In Acrobat you can duplicate a page and automatically rename all the fields in it using the Template object.
