How can I rename a form field?

It is possible to rename a form field using the SetFormFieldChildTitle function in Quick PDF Library. It works like this:

If you have a parent field called Details, with child fields Name and Address, the full field names will be:

Details.Name
Details.Address

If you wanted to change Details.Name to Details.FirstName you can use:

int FieldID = QP.FindFormFieldByTitle("Details.Name");
QP.SetFormFieldChildTitle(FieldID, "FirstName");
