Can an application read the fields in a pdf and change the field names? I'm mostly referring to text fields and check boxes, but I suppose if it's possible it'd work for any field or not at all, correct?

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to change the names of all form fields. Here is the sample code that shows how to retrieve a form field and change its name:

            MergeDocument document = new MergeDocument("Form.pdf");
            FormField field = document.Form.Fields["Current_Name"];
            field.Name = "Changed_Name";
            document.Draw("output.pdf");

Thanks,
