How to rename form fields using javascript?

I made a PDF with over 150 fillable form fields by using create multiple copies option.

Field name is like NC.0, NC.1, NR.0, NR.1 etc

I want to remove "." dot from all field name. Like NC0, NC1, NR0, NR1 etc

Is there any easy way I can bulk rename all of my form fields?

File attached.

Thanks so much,

Ebnul

Web browsers are poor readers of interactive PDFs.
It's a bit like asking Acrobat to keep the interactivity of an HTML page.

Acrobat Javascript can't change the names of form fields.

And in this case the Acrobat UI cannot too.

Why do you want to removes dots?

It's useless, you will lose the ability to make simple additions (sum of NRC parent field)…

Yes I know.

This form works perfectly in adobe reader.

But in google chrome after filling some value in one column all other field shows filled in print preview.

And I found this happened for the field name.

Thanks
