1. Re: change fields name automatically
try67 Aug 27, 2013 1:58 AM (in response to shay_df)That's a very tricky one. The name property of form fields is read-only, so you can't change it directly.
The way to about doing it is to write a script that creates a new field (with the adjusted name) on top of the old one, copies the properties of the old one to the new one, and then removes the old field. The main disadvantage of this method is that you will lose any actions (MouseUp, Calculate, Validation, Format, etc.) associated with the old field. But that's the only way it can be done using a script in Acrobat.

3. Re: change fields name automatically
