Is it possible to modify PDF Form Field Names?

Question

Here\'s the situation. I have a PDF with automatically generated pdf form field names. The problem is that these names are not very user friendly. They look something like :

Maybe you can consider this:

• iText is not free, in a propietary software enviroment (2.1.7 it/s last 'free' version).
• AbcPDF is not free too.

I have to say that we have AbcPDF license, and we use iText 2.1.7 too in our Java projects... so I can say I agree with previous answers, BUT, it you can't use/buy this products, you can try to replace the name into the pure pdf code (as a plain txt file), following PDF specification:

Example for a signature field:

35 0 obj
<<
/AP <<
/N 37 0 R
>>
/DA (/TimesRoman 0 Tf 0 g)
/F 4
/FT /Sig
/P 29 0 R
/Rect [ 86 426 266 501 ]
/Subtype /Widget
/T (FIELD_MODIF)
/Type /Annot
/V 36 0 R
>>
endobj

Where "FIELD_MODIF" it's the place where put the NEW name.
