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.
The duplicate fields 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 basic 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
the current view, choose Edit > Copy, and then choose

on the page, Ctrl-drag it.
To constrain the
vertical or horizontal movement as you drag, press and hold Shift.
