Use the following suffixes at the end of hidden form field names to specify the validation type. The type identifier
always starts with an underscore. Several validation rules have two names you can use. The names that do not start
with "_cf" were used in earlier releases and are retained for backward compatibility. For consistency and clarity, Adobe
recommends using the names that start with "_cf" in new forms.
