A diffeomorphism of the entire cotangent bundle preserving the Liouville one-form is the cotangent lift of a diffeomorphism of the base. It preserves the zero section and the Liouville vector field, hence commutes with the cotangent fiber-dilation flow. The limit as the fiber contracts forces it to cover its restriction to the zero section. Evaluation of the preserved one-form then forces the inverse-transpose derivative action on each covector.
