    No comments? Anyone with interactive forms experience using InDesign in their workflow?

    I surely can’t be the only one who has run into this issue?

    You’re right David, the period denotes hierarchy in Acrobat. Something is happening when it exports.

    My fields are having numbers added immediately after the period. What would make sense is that if you simply named your field and left a period at the end (e.g. “field.”) that it would automatically number the field but this is not the case. I tried a few other combinations also but can’t seem to quite work out the system.

    Does anyone have more insight into this? There has to be method to this madness.

    Apologies I might not have been too clear, I’ve had head down in this document for far too long.

    Interactive PDF form fields. In acrobat the use of hierarchy is helpful when running scripts across a particular set of fields. So instead of calling a script to run across each individual field (e.g. field.1, field.2, field.3) you can call it across the parent (in this case ‘field’) and it will execute on all fields under that parent.

    I’ve named the fields in InDesign as per this method but when it is exported to an interactive PDF it adds numbers and in some strange cases, names of other fields in the field name (see example above).

    Does this make sense? I’d love to find a cure.

    No one knows anything about this?

    It seems like it automatically numbers fields created with hierarchy but only to the first level.
