Create a copy of a form field
❖ Select the form field, and do one of the following:
• To copy the form field to the center of the current view, choose Edit > Copy, and then choose Edit > Paste.
• To copy the form field and move it to another location on the page, Ctrl-drag it.
To constrain the vertical or horizontal movement as you drag, press and hold Shift.
Create multiple copies of a form field on a page
1 Do one of the following:
• Right-click the form field and choose Place Multiple Fields.
• Select the form field and choose Forms > Tasks> Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Place Multiple Fields.
2 In the Create Multiple Copies Of Fields dialog box, select Preview, and move the dialog box as needed so that you
can see the original field and the copies on the form page.
3 Make the selections you want to apply:
• To change the number of copies being created, enter different values in the Copy Selected Fields Down and Copy
Selected Fields Across options.
• To change the dimensions of the original field and all the copies, enter different values in the Change Width and
Change Height options.
• To move the original field and all the copies, click the Up, Down, Left, and Right buttons.
Duplicate a form field across multiple pages
1 Do one of the following:
• Right-click the form field and choose Duplicate.
• Select the form field and choose Forms > Tasks> Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Duplicate.
Note: The Duplicate command isn’t available for forms with only one page.
2 Do one of the following:
• To duplicate the form field on every page in the form, select All, and click OK.
• To duplicate the form field on a limited range of pages, click the From button, and type the start and ending pages
on which you want the form field to appear.
Note: Including or not including the page on which the form field originally appears doesn’t affect the duplication process.
Including that page won’t create a second copy on top of the original one, and not including it won’t remove the original
form field.
Select multiple form fields
Selecting multiple form fields is the first step for several tasks, such as creating copies, aligning form fields, and
adjusting the spacing between form fields.
❖ If necessary, choose Tools > Forms > Edit, and then do any of the following:
• To select all form fields of all types, choose Edit > Select All.
• To select a range of form fields, click the first form field in the range, and then Shift-click the last form field. All
form fields between the two form fields are selected.
