I also set the font color to white so it would match the document background. I then went into their properties and set their border color and background color to none. I created 4 checkbox fields and made them as humanly small as I could. Since Acrobat randomly inserts copied fields at different points within the PDF page (it doesn’t actually center them consistently) but never tries to place one off the page, you can define your outer boundaries with some junk fields. I found a “hacktastic” way of doing this, shameful as it is. I would just like to follow up on my previous comment: Now each time you prepare a copy of the document for a new customer, you'll be able to customize each page just by changing text in one field. Type some text in one copy of the field, and you'll see it show in all fields. Acrobat adds a number to the end of the field names, and the number sign at the end of the original field's name. Scroll through the file and you'll see the field shows in the same location on the chosen pages.Ĭheck out the field names now.You don't have to worry about excluding the page where you added the original field.
In the Duplicate Field dialog box, leave All selected if you want the field to show on each page, or click From and type the page range, such as pages 1 to 4. Right-click the field and choose Duplicate from the shortcut menu.Acrobat places duplicates at the same location as the original. Position the field where you want it to show on each page.In the Fields panel, you'll see the name of the field shown under the heading. Add and configure the field you want to duplicate, such as a text field to show the customer's name.Duplicate fields appear on multiple pages. In Acrobat, when you copy a field, you add additional instances of the field to the same page. Type the name once, and it appears on every page.ĭuplicate fields are not the same as copied fields. Instead of having to customize the footer for each PDF form you prepare, just add duplicate fields. Say you're creating a multi-page fillable PDF form that you'd like to personalize for each customer by adding their name to the footer on each page.
