How to unlink Text Fields

I have to create a multi page document with fillable text fields on each page as an order catalog for customers to enter their quantities directly on this form. It has been brought to my attention that some pages have duplicate text fields. I am aware that renaming them is a way to avoid them from autofilling on different pages but I do not have the time to go through 90+ pages and rename all these text fields. Is there a quicker solution to make sure that I do not have duplicate text fields throughout my document?

Only by using a script. I've developed two (paid-for) tools that allow you to do that.
This one will rename existing fields in a file so that they are unique:

This one allows you to duplicate entire pages, and automatically rename the fields in them:

In the Prepare Form panel set the fields in alphabetic order.
Duplicate field names end with # and a number.
You can rename fields in the field panel.
