Question about Form Field Names

[Saurabh D]

Hi,

I had a question regarding the names for form fields in the PDF API. Currently, I can see that the form fields have a names such as form1[0].#subform[0].Pt1Line1a_FamilyName[0]. We're mapping these field names to our internal database to be able to fill form fields. I have two questions here - 

(a) Are these IDs subject to change in a future version of the library? If so, it will upset our current mappings.

(b) Is there a better way to map form fields with our internal database columns.

Thanks.
