Every form field ends with "-0"

[Steve Wortham]

So I have the following VB.NET code that creates a form field in a PDF:

Dim pdfField As New Pdf.Interactive.PdfTextBoxField(pdfDoc.Pages(iPage), "txt1")
pdfField.Location = New PointF(50, 50)
pdfField.Size = New SizeF(100, 10)
pdfDoc.Form.Fields.Add(pdfField)

This works great except for one thing. When I open up the PDF in Acrobat and look at the field name I notice that it says "txt1-0". Now I can't figure out where the "-0" is coming from and how to get rid of it.

Ah ha, I just found out what was causing this.

Previously I was using both the PdfLoadedDocument and PdfDocument classes. I was loading the PdfLoadedDocument into the PdfDocument via ImportPages and apparently this process will add the "-0" suffix to the field names.

I found that in my case I can get rid of the PdfDocument object and just use PdfLoadedDocument and that fixed it.
