Combine fillable forms with identical field names in one pdf
When merging two/more fillable forms that contain identical field names (e.g., 'Name' in two distinct form sections) into one document, the information from the first form automatically populates the corresponding fields across all forms. There should be an opt-out from this feature to prevent data duplication when the forms represent different information and still need to be combined in one document.

Agreed. Why doesn't Adobe (Illustrator, InDesign, or Acrobat) have an alternate option, "Do Not Merge Data" action/script to assign alternate labels by simply adding a number after the existing field name?
I've made a daily tracker form document and wish to insert multiple duplicate pages in one information pamphlet/workbook.
In searching how to do this, I've been told to produce an Acrobat "Portfolio" which would be clunky and wouldn't look like a brochure.
Another mentioned to make an "Acrobat Template" though that option does not exactly exist. Directions for a template have me create a signature??? I don't want to produced a signed document. AND I don't want it to exist online.
I want to produce it using a desktop app and distribute it without it being apart of Adobe Cloud.
Thirdly, a programmer suggested I purchase his plugin for $50. I already pay Adobe a monthly fee plus credits if I go over them.
Please advise
