Well, the original PDF documents were created using the Acrobat editor and not programmatically. So when we first spotted the problem, I assumed a field name and/or other internal properties were duplicated, causing checkbox/text fields not to work as desired.
I guess my question now is, is there something in the library that'll be able to read through a document and uniquely rename these checkbox/text fields?
