You can create copies of a form
field on a single page of a PDF form. You can also copy a form field
and paste it onto other pages. When you create duplicate form fields,
replicas of the original field are added to one or more other pages.
They are always in the same position on each page as the original.
Both copies and duplicates can be dragged to different locations
on a page, but not from one page to another.
Both copies and
duplicates are created with the same name as the original form field.
Copies and duplicates pasted using the Place Multiple Fields command
also have a number appended. All form fields with the same basic
name share the same user data and action properties. Consequently,
when a user adds or edits a response to a copy or duplicate field,
the response appears in all fields with the same basic name.
If
you change the properties of any one of multiple versions of a form
field with the same basic name, those changes affect only that copy
of the form field. The exception is when you change an Actions listing
if the trigger isn’t a mouse action.
 If you
want to prevent a duplicate or copied form field from reacting in
unison with the original field to user-entered responses, change
the name of the new form field. 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

vertical or horizontal movement as you drag, press and hold Shift.
