I know some similar issues exist (Find the field names of inputtable form fields in a PDF document?) but my question is different:

I have all the field names (in fdf file).

I wish I could visually identify directly on the PDF.

With acrobat I should be able to right click on a field and then select "display the name of the field" but I can find no such thing.

Can someone help me ?

Ok. I have found pdf editor where this is possible. Probably acrobat pro too...

Right click on the field : unlock. Right click again : get properties.
