How to build a button that creates a new page with Acrobat XI

Hi Lori,

Great tutorial. I was able to follow the instructions and create the button and it does what it needs to do. I just want to know if it is possible to spawn a new page but only have certain information copied over to the new page? For example I want to copy over Field A but not copy Field B.

If you can guide me to the right direction that would be great.

Regards
Jorge

Hi Ashley,

Yes, you can do this by using the nPage parameter. You can find more details on this here:

Is it possible to create a drop down list to spawn multiple types of page templates made from the information from one form?
Example
Form A with B template
Form A with C template
Form A with D template
Form A with E template

Lori,

I have the same questions as Oliver C.

I have a multipage document and when the button is clicked to add the extra page this page comes at the end of the document. I would like this to be added at an ealier page - is this possible?

Many thanks!

I created the one page form to spawn, however, I would like the first page to be number page 1 of 1, then when the user needs a second page it would automatically start numbering page 1 of 1, 1 of 2, 2 of 2 and so on. Can’t seem to figure this out if it possible

When I add a page that has named fillable boxes that are duplicated earlier in the document, the names of the boxes change, which prevents content that is filled in on the earlier pages from flowing into the added page. Is there a way to add the page but NOT have the content boxes change their names?

Hi Oliver C,

Here is a shortened version of the URL:

Once you get there, click on the left most icon (Show Navigation) and type in nPage.

This is great. Thank you. Is there a way to automatically add/update page numbers when using this “add a page”?

Hi Melanie,

As Karl mentions in the following discussion, the spawned template page is now a normal page in your document, so you can use deletePages() method to remove the page. If you have further questions, feel free to join this discussion:

How do you hide (remove) page when you clear the form?

Hi daniel harrigan,

Sure, you can use the nPage parameter to do this. For specifics, check out the Javascript API reference at:

Hi Kim,

This does work for Reader but it specifically has to be Reader XI.

Thanks,
Lori

Great tutorial - any way to make this work for people using Reader?

Works great! Is there a way to make the hidden page insert in a specific place? My test of this process ended up with the hidden page at the end of the document.  THANKS!
