Duplicate form page without linking fields
For people using Adobe Acrobat PDF forms for schedules, breakdowns or quick lists, having a form's fields link when pages are duplicated poses a huge issue for usability. Having an option within the program to unlink form fields across pages would be a great help for these uses.
For example:
I have a single page form with 20+ fields to help organize shot lists for film scenes. It contains check boxes, drop down menus and input image fields related to a specific shot in a specific scene. I want to be able to duplicate this page within the document and fill it out for each shot in a scene.
Currently when I duplicate the page all the information in it is duplicated onto the next page and any changes I make happen on both pages. Having a 'unlink' button that renames the fields and allows each page to be its own separate form would make this program usable for this type of work. The program already adds a #0 / #1 / #2 etc. to the end of the field names when the page duplicates. I suggest adding a dialogue box that pops up when duplicating that says "this page contains a form, would you like to keep fields connected or unlink them" and if the user clicks 'unlink' it renames them just by adding a number to the end rather than a # number,
