Fillable forms - can no longer duplicate text fields?

[laura]

I have made a few fillable forms with pdf24 in the past, and I could copy and paste text fields, which is a big time-saver. But it seems that this is no longer an option? Or is there a new way to duplicate fields and I can't figure it out? Thanks.

Hello,

copying fields is still possible, with the keyboard:

1. Click the field so that it is selected.
2. Press Ctrl+C.
3. Press Ctrl+V. The copy is inserted a little offset from the original and gets a name of its own. Each further Ctrl+V inserts another copy.

While the cursor is in one of the input boxes of the field properties, Ctrl+V pastes text there instead of a field.

At the time of your post, copying had some bugs: copies could lie on top of each other or disappear when saving. This is fixed in the online tool https://tools.pdf24.org/en/make-pdf-fillable. In the PDF24 Creator (Toolbox, Create fillable PDF form), the fix will come with the next version.

If you open the tool via an old bookmark: the address create-fillable-pdf-form now opens our new tool for designing a form from scratch. To add fields to an existing PDF, please use Make PDF fillable (link above).
