1. Navigate to the Form Editor tab and right-click the field that you want to copy and select
Copy on the shortcut menu. Alternatively, select the field with a mouse click and press
Ctrl+C on the keyboard.

press Ctrl+V on the keyboard.
Copies will have the same properties as the original field with the exception of Field Name.
Only empty signature fields can be copied.
Creating a linked copy of a field
Navigate to the Form Editor tab and right-click the field for which you want to create a linked copy
and select Create Linked Copy on the shortcut menu. A linked copy will appear next to the original
field.
When a user enters data into a field that has linked copies, all of the copies will be automatically
populated with the same data. This is useful when the same data has to be entered several times
within the same document.
Linked copies will have the same properties as the original field. You can change any property of a
linked field. Changing the Field Name property will turn a linked copy into a simple copy, i.e. it will
no longer be automatically populated with data from the original field.
Moving fields around the page
Navigate to the Form Editor tab and click the field that you want to move and drag it to the desired
location.
To move multiple fields, select them while holding down the Ctrl key. Next, click any of the
selected fields and drag them to the desired location.
Fields can only be moved within the current page.
