pagefirst

Stores a reference to the global item on the first page of the form, excluding the global page. A page is first when it appears first in the build order (in other words, it is first in the XFDL text).

This option is not saved or transmitted as part of the form. Instead, it is automatically created each time the form is read into memory, and is maintained only during display or processing.
