Hi Rosas,

I haven't tried with Acrobat, but it is possible in LiveCycle/AEM form Designer.  How to add button to insert duplicate page in form

Moving this thread to JavaScript forum wait for more response from JavaScript Experts.

You could use Acrobat's template and spawn a new page and rename the fields.

A lesson in Templates for Adobe Acrobat by Dave Wairight

I would create the template and use it to spawn a form page. rename the high level prefix from "P1" to "P0", and then hide the template.

A template is an excellent option.  Especially because they work in Reader XI and Reader DC!! It used to be that they only worked in Acrobat Pro and Standard.

You'll find a full template example file and tutorial  in the downloads section of PDFScripting.com. Search for the word "Template".

But there are other ways to duplicate content. What is the purpose of duplicating the content? Does this involve form fields?
