FormFields with the same name

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have been working with this for sometime, but I'm not sure that it's the best way to handle this.
I have many documents where there are multiple fields that share the same name. In Acrobat they show as "FormFieldName#0",  "FormFieldName#1".

When I iterate to the fields then the name of the field is returned from GetFormFieldTitle as "FormFieldName." and there is an additional field - a sort of master I guess which has the title "FormFieldName" (no dot), also it has a width = 0.

I only use fields as place holders so the master field is of no us and I test the width to see if it is the master or not.

Is there a better way?
