Hello Adobe users,

I have a question regarding automatic naming of fields. The PDF file has for example 100 fields. Is there a JavaScript to name them 1 , 2 , 3 , 4  etc?

Kind Regards,

Baran

You don't need a JavaScript for this.

Create one field, name it, then right-clic it : Create multiple copies.

JS can't rename fields. What it can do, though, is create new fields in the same location as the old ones, with the desired names, and then delete the old fields. Doing so will remove all actions as well as special settings (such as Format, Keystroke, Validation, Calculation, etc.) associated with those fields.
