Select only one type of field using JavaScript in Acrobat X

Question

Looking for a way to select all fields of the same type on a form at once?
Such as selecting all text fields to modify the font type, or all buttons to modify display values. Prior versions 6,7, & 8 were able to do this. Would prefer a script for each control type however I do not see any information in the JavaScript Reference Guide about this.

Answer 1

The is no UI for selecting field by type in the newer versions of Acrobat.
Have you looked at the numFields property and example?
With some modification:
function FindFieldType(cType)
var aFieldNames = new Array(); // array of fields of type sFieldType
// walk the array of field names;
for ( var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
  var fname = this.getNthFieldName(i); 
  if ( fname.type = cType ) {
  // match to field type - add to array of names;
  aFieldNames[aFieldNames.length] = fname;
  } // end walk array of field names
return aFieldNames;
} // end FindFieldType function
var aMyFields = new Array();
// find button field type
aMyFields = FindFieldType("button");
// now do something with the array of field names;
app.alert("button fields: \n" +  aMyFields.join("\n");
