Association of pdf field Display Name and Internal name
Hi Everyone,
I used PDFField.getFullyQualifiedName() to retrieve the internal field name
in the pdf document, but is there any association between the display name
and this internal field name. In other words, how do I know which internal
name maps to the display name on screen.
For example, in the file below, I can retrieve "brokerage_name_2",
"brokerage_name_1", but does it internally associated with the text
description above it?

Thank you for the help.

Best Wishes,

Jason,
To determine the names of the fields in the PDF, you need to use a PDF
editor like Acrobat, Nuance PDF Creator, or others. Using such an editor,
you can view the PDF and click on a field to learn its name. As Tilman
says, the captions near the fields are just text and have no association to
the actual field.

No. That's just a text at some position.
