Hello,
I am new to this forum, but not Tek-Tips.

I have 140+ PDF's where I need to extract the Object Properties of each text box, check box, and other editable fields. In the past I would open the PDF in Acrobat, select Edit from the Tools/Forms, and right mouse click the field, copy the Name from the General tab and paste into my document. This was a time consuming and tedious task with only 26 forms. With that number multiplied over 5-fold (the objects has multiplied by more than 20), this increases the possiblity of human error, and then the additional re-work time to correct.

Is there a way, either in Adobe itself, or through another programming language (VBA, SQL, anything) to generate a list of Object Properties for a PDF.?

Thanks in advance for your help.

God Bless,
Genesius
