I am wondering if anyone knows on a fillable form if it is possible to have contact information be duplicated on a second page of a form without having to retype it . I am creating a two page form that requires information that is also repeated on another page and want to know if there is a way to carry it forward?? The same information ( Name, adress etc.)that will be typed in one spot is required in another spot of the form.

You need to name the fields with the same name and set the 'binding' to 'global'. And if that does not work, use a calculation in the second field to obtain the value from the first field.

Hi,

select the desired form field, then go to the "object" tab, select the sub tab "binding" and change the binding to "global".
For more information use the help of Designer (F1), it's has several tutorials and samples forms.
