Inserting a page with editable fields without duplicating info

New Here ,
Jan 11, 2016 Jan 11, 2016

We have an editable form that was created and furnished by the Internal Revenue Service. We can insert and extract pages.  But we need to duplicate the 1st page, but with different information on the 2nd page (same fields both pages, different info 2nd page).  Every time I insert the 2nd page regardless of how I do it, blank, saved with a different name, etc, the 2nd, inserted page automatically picks up the information on the 1st page.  How do I get around that.

You need to rename the fields on that page so that they are not the same as those on the first page, as fields with the same name in a single document will always have the same value.

Alternatively you can flatten the page (before inserting it!) to convert the fields in it to static content, so they wouldn't change when you insert it.
