Renaming Form Fields using JS

Renaming Form Fields using JS
Sun, 27 Apr 2008 17:37:25 -070
I use the automatic Form Field detection of Acrobat Pro (not
LifeCycleDesigner).

The field names are not usable for me.

How can I rename Form Fields using JS, not changing any other form properties
(not doing it manually, cause there are more than 100 form fields)?

Any suggestions available?

You can not rename fields with JavaScript and one can not copy the interactive
properties of field with JavaScript.

Thank you, so far. Manually renaming ist a hard job, and may be faulty...

How could I get all the properties of e Field?

might this do?
props = getField("fieldName");

How to get the Field size and position? In one variable?

Does it work, to create the "new" Field with using the saved
properties, or have I to define the properties by each?

I know, that I have to loop to the doc. What should be the easyest way?
