Want you create new form fields?

hi, thanks a lot for your reply. is that possible to send code to create new fields using new field names. don't worry about field formatting because there are no special formatting in my fields.. thanks..

Look at the method addField in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

JS can't rename fields. It can only create new fields in the same location with the new name, and then delete the old ones.

In this process all of the Actions, Format, Validation, Calculation, Keystroke, etc. that are associated with the fields will be lost, though.
