>From the renameField() documentation:
Renames a field. Only the last part of the name can be renamed. For example, if
the original field is "ab.cd.ef" only the "ef" part can be renamed.

Subject: [iText-questions] problem with renamefield method
I have a PDF document that has several hundred fields. All of the field names
have periods in them, such as "page1.line1.something"
I want to remove these periods and replace them with either an underscore or
(better) nothing at all
There appears to be a bug in the itextsharp libraries where the renamefield
method does not work if the field has a period, so the following does not work
(always returns false)
Dim formfields As AcroFields = stamper.AcroFields
Dim renametest As Boolean
renametest = formfields.RenameField("page1.line1.something",
"page1_line1_something")
If the field does not have a period in it, it works fine.
Has anyone come across this and is there a workaround or a better way of
doing it?
