How do I get a textfield to autopopulate on page 2?

I have created a form in Livecycle Designer ES 8.2 I have the the form all complete, but I need to have the top of the 1st page autofill onto the next page after someone types in the information. 

So for example on page 1 there are some textfields

Account Manager: (then someone will need to fill this out on a PDF version) I need the typed in field to autopopulate down into the same ares on page 2.

Can this be done, if so how can I get this to work?

I did figure out how to get the whole subform to automatically populate onto the 2nd page, but when I type anything in the textfields on page 1 that doesn't carry down to page 2.

Thanks

Are you using the global data binding option for this? Under the objects Binding Tab, select "Use global data" in Data Binding for each object you want to be global and give them the same name. If you other binding (to a schema for example) then you need to repeat the binding for the global field or provide script to populate it for you.
