name of all PDF/FDF field names 1

[grtfercho]

I created a multipage form based on a government paper form.
All went great until I started creating the FDF file dinamically. I seem to copy/pasted the same field more than once on the pages using the same name.
Is there a way or a piece of software that can help me see all the names of the fields in my form without checking each and everyone of them?
Some of the fields are really small because they represent checkboxes and radios so going and opening each of them to see the name seems a long process specially when the form has +-250 elements.


I remember using a feature in Acrobat 5 that I can't find now on acrobat 6.0. In any case an internal feature that lists all the fields or a third party piece of software will help a lot.
Thanks in advance..

Click on 'Window' then select 'Fields' from the list - a box will open which lists all fields, their field type, and in brackets after the field name it indicates what incidence of this field name it is - a zero in brackets indicates the first incidence, 1 would indicate the second incidence of the field.

Hope this helps

Not quite. I got back and try it on my Acrobat 6.0 and under Window there is no option for Fields...

Any other suggestions???

Not got v6.o yet - perhaps this has been moved under another drop down menu?

The only other way I know of to list the field names would be to use the getNthFieldName method - found this code a while back in another forum. Create a multiline text field called "Field List", then create a button and assign the following code to the mouse up action

var flist = this.getField("Field List");
var mylist="";
var fieldname="";
for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++){
     fieldname=this.getNthFieldName(i);
      mylist+="Field[" + i + "] = " + fieldname+"\r";
}
flist.value=mylist;

This will give you a full list of all field names, but it wont tell you if there are any duplicated names - it will only list a single instance of each fieldname in alphabetical order.
