Finding form fields of a specific page

[Guido Schrage]

Hi everybody,

I want to get the form fields placed on a specific page. But only the PdfDocument class has the Form.Fields collection I have to loop through comparing the PdfField.Page property with another PdfPage object to get to know on which page the PdfField is placed.

I need something like that:

foreach (PdfField field in pdfPage.Form.Fields)
{
...
}

At the moment I have to loop through the whole PdfDocument to find fields of a specific (2nd) page:

foreach (PdfField field in pdfDocument.Form.Fields)
{
if (pdfDocument.Pages.IndexOf(field.Page) == 1)
break;
}

Hi Guido, 

We can get the page number of a form field in the PDF document. Please refer the below code snippet for more details: 

            //Load the PDF document. 

            PdfLoadedDocument document = new PdfLoadedDocument("Form.pdf"); 

 

            //Get all the form fields. 

            PdfLoadedForm loadedForm = document.Form; 

            PdfLoadedFormFieldCollection fieldCollection = loadedForm.Fields; 

 

            //Check the page number of the field. 

            foreach (PdfLoadedField field in fieldCollection) 

            { 

                for (int i = 0; i < document.Pages.Count; i++) 

                { 

                    if (field.Page == document.Pages[i]) 

                    { 

                        Console.WriteLine(field.Name + " - Page no is " + (i + 1)); 

                    } 

                } 

            } 

We have created the sample for the same. Please find the sample link from below:

Hi Tarek,    

  

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.   

  

It is not possible to provide support to get the form field for the specific page by using the Syncfusion PDF library. In our PDF library, form fields are kept inside the PDF document catalog, so we can get form fields from PDF documents. Then only, we can find their related annotation mapped in a PDF page and even single form fields can map in different pages so that we could not provide this feature on our end.
