4. See error: ChangeSet index 1 - ???org.json.JSONException: Duplicate key "xxx" at xxx [character xxx line 1]???

There is a "." (dot) in the Field Name.

When using "." (dot) in the Field Name, PDF form fields will be grouped by the "." (dot) naming convention (group naming convention). 

The text before the "." (dot) will be identified as the group name. The text after the "." (dot) will be identified as the key for the field.

If the PDF has fields with Field Names such as "1.Yes", "2.Yes", "3.Yes", the duplicate key error will occur because it'll be read as Group "1", "2", "3" all have the same key "Yes".

1. Remove "." (dot) from the Field Name:
   e.g. Modifying the Field Name to "1Yes", "2Yes", "3Yes", etc.
2. In case group naming is necessary, please make sure the key after "." (dot) is not duplicated:
   e.g. Modifying the Field Name to "1.Yes1", "2.Yes2", "3.Yes3", etc.
