I assume that Ted Padova's book is clear about the properties of the field and the widgets (that's individual instances of a field, with the same name). The readonly property is indeed a field-level property.
The workaround is to use a different field name on the subsequent pages, and then use the Validate or, better, Format event in the field of the first page to pass the field values to the subsequent pages. As you now have two different fields, you can keep the ones on the subsequent pages read-only.
Hope, this can help.

Here's the problem I have to create forms in Adobe which before were made in a print shop.� Many forms have more than one copy for distribution throughout the company.� I am aware of how to create duplicate form fields so that info typed on the first page will also be entered on the corresponding pages simultaneously.� My problem is that I want to make the last two pages' form fields Read Only so that the info can't be accidentally changed on one of the pages.� If I�make a�form field Read Only on the second or third page this also changes the form field on the first page to Read Only as well (which I don't want).� Is there some simple solution to this problem that I am overlooking?
(I have "Creating Adobe Acrobat Forms" by Ted Padova on hand.)� Any advice?
