Re: Size and location of a PDField

[Mirko Raner]

This is what I came up with after spelunking in the PDField's dictionary:

    public Rectangle2D.Float getOutline(PDField field)
    {
        FDFAnnotationPolygon annotation = new
FDFAnnotationPolygon(field.getDictionary());
        PDRectangle rectangle = annotation.getRectangle();
        float lowerLeftX = rectangle.getLowerLeftX();
        float lowerLeftY = rectangle.getLowerLeftY();
        float width = rectangle.getWidth();
        float height = rectangle.getHeight();
        return new Rectangle2D.Float(lowerLeftX, lowerLeftY, width, height);
    }

Not sure whether that's the proper way of doing it, or whether there is an
easier way.
My next question is: in a multi-page document, how do I determine on which
page a particular field is?

Thanks for any hints,

Mirko
