I have 100's of Interactive text fields and I'd like to bypass the man hours put into naming each one individually. Is there a script for only the naming of the fields?

    Is it important what the text fields are called?

    If not, why rename them?

    If so, do you have a list of names? Or, how do you know what to call each field?

    It's very important that each interactive text field have a unique name. Some of these will be ADA.

    I have a list of the names.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
