duplicate textfields in footer

[Former Community Member]

We have a form that requires a footer with a number of fillable fields.  I'd like to configure the form so that changes to the values on any page are reflected throughout the document.  I read about something called "duplicate fields" in Acrobat, but can't seem to find the equivalent functionality in LiveCycle Designer ES2.  Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thank you!

I would recommend setting that on the master page.

Click on the Hierarchy Palette then Untitled Content Area (that's the default name).

With the content area highlighted, you can resize the content area to give room for a footer.

Then, anything you put in the the footer will change for every page.

Thank you for the quick reply.  I tried something similar - I added a subform called "Footer" in the PageArea1 Master Page and included the fields in the subform.  I thought ContentArea1 was for non-header/footer content.  Currently the textfields in the Footer subform don't reflect values across pages.  Is that the magic of the "ContentArea"?

FYI - what worked for me in the end was to set the binding to "Use Global Data" on the footer fields that I want to change globally.
