----------------------------------------

Yes for a) although I wonder why not make this page related.
{quote}
Because a single field could be located at multiple pages. Wouldn't be the case
if that's only based on annotations but with AcroForm/Fields one could have
multiple annotations per field.
{quote}
About the rest - isn't there something already there which does the appearances
for some type of fields?
{quote}
No - we don't create appearances when we create a field from scratch. Something
I'd like to change. But as this is not defined in the standard I thought about
keeping it separate from the current PDmodel. So we do handle appearances if
there is an appearance stream but not from scratch.
> Handle Widget Annotations as Fields even if there is no AcroForm Fields entry

> Components: AcroForm
> Affects Versions: 1.8.13, 2.0.4
> Reporter: Maruan Sahyoun
> Priority: Minor
>
> Some (mostly older) files have Widget Annotations but there is no
> AcroForms/Fields entry. PDFBox doesn't recognize these as form fields where
> Adobe Acrobat recognizes handles that. For a sample see PDFBOX-2003 and
> PDFBOX-3586.
