Re: [Solved] Determining page number for each field

[Ken Bowen]

I developed one solution, inspired by the AddMessageToEachPage example.
For those interested, here is an outline sketch:

    extractFields(PDDocument pdfDocument)
    {
      List allPages = pdfDocument.getDocumentCatalog().getAllPages();
      for( int i=0; i<allPages.size(); i++ ) {
        .... keep track of page # i below....
        xtrPageFields( (PDPage)allPages.get(i) );
      }
      pdfDocument.close();
    }

    xtrPageFields(PDPage page)
    {
      Iterator pannotsit = page.getAnnotations().iterator();
      while (pannotsit.hasNext()){
        Object oo = pannotsit.next();
        if (oo instanceof PDAnnotationWidget){
            PDAnnotationWidget aW = (PDAnnotationWidget)oo;
        ...extract info from  aW.getDictionary();
      }
    }
