Printing a Field Data list

Explorer ,
Sep 26, 2022 Sep 26, 2022

I use Acrobat Pro for creating several fillable forms and they usually have between 10 to 20 pages each.

Is there a way in PREPARE mode, to print all the tabs from Fields Data, for the whole document, I created?

I searched previous posts, but found one from 2016. Is there any new way to print it other than using a Java script?

Thank you for any insight.

Copy-paste this script in the JS Console, select all and hit the Enter key (Enter key is not the Return key).

If you want to use it in an Action you should uncomment the "console.show();" line.

 

var aFields = [];
for (var i=0; i<this.numFields; i++) {
var f= this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
aFields.push(f.name);
}
if (aFields.length>0) {
console.clear();
// console.show();
console.println(aFields.join("\n"));
}

With a script you can create a report of the field names.

Not really. What worked in 2016 should work now as well. If that doesn't suit you then you'll need to specify what kind of output you're looking for, exactly.

Sorry I was not clear enough. 

What I am looking for is a list of all the Field Names I designated for the document.

I might try it if I don't have any other option in the Adobe Pro.

JR Boulay,

Thank you so much, I am not a developer, but I am very curious and with a little open mind I learned how to open the js console, paste the code you provided, and after a few attemps (I did a few mistakes...) and persistence, I finally was able to install and run the application. I succesfully created a csv file with all my field names! Mission accomplished, thank you!!!
