    I would like to copy one of the fields (for example the name) into each of the pages of the pdf report, without having to make the customer fill their name on every page. is there a way to copy and paste within the pdf report?

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to copy fields or labels in the PDF submission report. You could just create new field in your actual form using the form builder and use conditional logic to pass the data. 

    Here's a specific guide on how to copy fields form another one: https://www.jotform.com/help/286-How-to-Populate-Field-with-a-Value-from-Another-Field 

    The target fields that will receive the copied data can be set to hidden or on a separate page that is inaccessible, that will allow you to only use those fields in the PDF report.

    I will, however, forward this to our developers as a feature request as I see the need to freely copy and use form fields in the "Customize PDF" feature. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that this will be implemented anytime soon. Apologies.
