Topic: Batch Extracting Field Names

I have inherited 200+ fillable PDFs which, while having a common name on the paper, such as Account Number, the developer working on the Fillable part named the fields differently. For example: AccountNumber, AccountNum, acctnum, acctNum...

Rather than individually selecting Advanced->Forms->Export Forms Data for each PDF, is there a batch process that I can develop or run to open the PDF, export the FDF data, close the form... and loop through all the forms until I have extracted all of the data.

I have attempted to merge all PDFs into a large document containing all fields and then export the Forms Data, but that does not work.

Any thoughts around this issue would be greatly appreciated.
