When I try to duplicate a field and select "duplciate across all pages" nothing happens!!! Ive tried selecting "across all pages" and "specific pages" and nothing happens/works.

I am trying to get a signature field copied on 8 different pages. It's the same person's signature. When I try to use the same field name, I get an error message "A field of a differnt type already uses this name. Please choose a new name for the field, or change the field type to match the existing field with this name".

Nothing's working! HELP!

this is so incredibly dumb. For over a decade Adobe has been aware that pro PDF users want this functionality.

They can want it all they want. It's not going to happen. Each signature field in a file must have a unique name.

This thinking is exactly what's wrong with this software. It's so bloated and poorly ad hoc'd that it runs slower than enterprise 3D software. Quite the accomplishment. Yet Adobe knows no one will go elsewhere. Ripe for antitrust reaming.
