Copying Rows in a Table

I have a form that has a table in it with multiple fields that needs to be filled with text fields. Each individual text field needs to have a similar but different name. What I would like to know is if it's possible to create one row in the table, copy it, and when I paste it, Acrobat automatically renames the duplicate fields instead of keeping all the same names. It would be great if it added a "_1" or something similar to the duplicate fields, so for example:

First Row (Original Fields)

Person1 Object1

Second Row (Copied Fields)

Person1_1 Object1_1

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi jayyy91,

AUC recently published two chapters from the PDF Forms Bible on working with tables-
http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-tables-pdf-forms-using-acrobat-and-livecycle-designer

Good reading if you are working with tables and hopefully a good method to acheive what you want as well.

Hope this helps,
