Master Page

Every form design contains at least one master page that Adobe LiveCycle Designer
creates automatically.
Master pages are responsible for formatting body pages.
They help to facilitate design consistency
because they can provide a background and layout format for more than one of the
body pages in a form design.

Body pages

Body pages represent the pages of a form. Each body page derives its page size and
orientation from a master page, and by default,
each body page is associated with the default master page that LiveCycle Designer
creates.
Each body page is created with a default subform that covers the whole page.

Important Points :

To Shift data to next page - choose the page content as flowed.
