Question

Printing list of form fields with properties?

I'm working on a project that uses fillable forms. For the developers' benefit, I would like to print a list of all the fields in the form, along with their properties (type, length, etc.). The printout should be in tab order, or at least grouped by page. I know I can get the field names in tab order using "Merge Form Data into Spreadsheet," but that doesn't give me any additional properties. Is there a script or tool out there that will give me what I need?

With Acrobat Javascript you can create a report of the fields and their properties.

Are you aware of a particular script that I could use? The ones that I've seen don't list the fields in tab order.

‌Javascript can't access the tab order.
