Here's what I'm going to try.
Create the second page as a separate form.
Open the original form (page 1).
When you're not in Edit Form mode, you can add a page from a file. So, add the 2nd page and it should become a 2-page form.
I haven't tried this, but maybe it will work.I can't believe how difficult it is to use this software sometimes. It could be made much more user-friendly.
I don't know what the official Adobe process is on this but here is what I do...as I have run into the same issue. I'm learning LiveCycle with docs and some level of trial and error.
You will see that LiveCycle has added a new page to the end of your document. Depending on how long your doc is ot the number of elements, you may want to collapse all of your pages in this view by selection the [-] icon next to each page. Find the new page whish has been added at the bottom of the list.Drag and drop it into the your desired insert position in your doc.
I have not tried to add an external page; Just tried blank.
Hope this helps somewhat.

Try this:
Add a footer to your page. Add two buttons (ADD & DELETE) to the footer.
On the click event of the ADD button (javascript):
form1.page1._body.addInstance(1);
if (form1.page1._body.count > 1) {
form1.page1.footer.deleteBtn.presence = "visible";
}
else {
form1.page1.footer.deleteBtn.presence = "hidden";
}
body is the name of my subform on page1.
On the click of the Delete:
form1.page1._body.removeInstance(1);
if (form1.page1._body.count > 1) {
form1.page1.footer.deleteBtn.presence = "visible";
}
else {
form1.page1.footer.deleteBtn.presence = "hidden";
}
This seems to work:
go to the page below where you want to insert the new page. Show the Hierarchy (Windows >Hierarchy). In the hierarchy, right-click the page you are on and select Duplicate Page. It will rename the page and insert a dupe, eg Page 6[0] and Page 6[1]. You can then change the content on one of the pages. That's as far as I got so far, I'll have to see if this works or if the forms filling gets completely screwed up.
Mama mia!
I have recently run into exactly the same problem. Catherine's suggestion was spot on. Windows > Heirarchy > Select the last page > Edit > Duplicate Page. Then I renamed the page and everything was awesome. Until... I finished designing the additional page, adding all of my fields and text. I saved the form and then previewed it in PDF Preview. However the page I added on was not there. I went back to the desktop and opened the file in Adobe Reader. It will only register the 1st 4 pages, and does not register the 5th page, which is the page I added on. It's there, I can see it in the design view. But it will not show up in the PDF Preview and will not print when opened with Adobe Reader. #Stumped.
Thank you so much - this worked after so many headaches trying to figure this out! I was about to have to recreate a 3 page job applicationin word and recreate all the form fields ![]()

What worked for me was to:
1) Open the form already developped in Adobe Acrobat and extract all pages to a new document. All form fields are still working in the new document
2) Once the new document opens up, add a new page and continue developping the form...
Back again, having completely forgotten that I posted on this issue, but once again needing to insert a page in Design View. Still can't get it to work, although I haven't tried MayseG's solution - a last resort for me, I think. So meanwhile ... to repeat ... ISN'T ANYONE AT ADOBE GOING TO COMMENT ON THIS ISSUE?
I tried the duplicate again and followed through to the point where I was trying to fill in the form. It seems to work for me, and all the inserted pages (within fields in them) show up in Print Preview. Can't think why it didn't work for you, 8i010g1x, but <sarcasm>perhaps someone from Adobe will look at it </sarcasm>.
I also tried Shrutiaman's suggestion and that also worked for me (ie do Add PAge to get a new subform then move the subform down to where you want it.
