Using an Action, how do I repeat a text field that I created on the top of the first page?

[subvet720]

I created an Action that creates a text field on the top of the page. How do I get it to repeat it on the top of the remainder of the pages in the document?

// Create the "DatePrinted" field on the top of the first page

var fldTop = this.addField("DatePrinted", "text", 0, [36,774,576,756]);

fldTop.value = "DatePrinted";

fldTop.textSize = 14;

fldTop.textfont = font.Arial;

fldTop.textColor = color.red;

fldTop.alignment = "center";

fldTop.display = display.hidden;

fldTop.readonly= true;

fldTop.doNotSpellCheck = true;

fldTop.doNotScroll = true;

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated,

Thanks

You need to place your code inside a loop from 0 to this.numPages, changing the third parameter of the addField method to the page number in each iteration.

That's what I originally thought, but was thinking there had to be a magic way to get er' done. It will work, and Thanks!

No "magical" way to do it, no...

My solution for any interested parties... Not elegant, but it works

for (var pg = 0; pg < this.numPages; pg++) {

// Place text field on the top of the page

var f = this.addField("DatePrinted", "text", pg, [36,774,576,756]);

/}

Why do you say it's "not elegant"?
