Copy-paste this script in the JS Console, select all, then hit the Enter key:

 

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {

var oFld = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if ((oFld.type == "text") && (/entername/.test(oFld.name))) {
oFld.userName = "New Tooltip text";
}

}

Whenever you have an inquiry like this, the first place to look is the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

You'll find lots of information on programming forms in Acrobat here:

// ------ Tool Tip Change --- //

var target = getField('text1'); // pointing to field
target.value = " Hello World ";
target.toolTip = " New Tool Tip by toolTip";

target.userName = 'new tool by username';

//---------------End toopTip-----------------------//


Get rid of the third line, since there's no toolTip property, as you were already told...

From where are you running this code, and what is the exact output you're seeing?
