Description

I am not able to decide the page number of some form fields (specially of page 4, 5 of attached pdf).

How I'm trying to get page number:

1. First I get list of all pages (as in 'PDPageTree') of pdf using 'pdDocumentCatalog.GetPages()'
2. Then I get 'PDAcroForm' for the same pdf using 'getAcroForm()' method
3. Then I get list of all Fields (as in 'PDFieldTree') from previously got AcroForm

I use all these information in following code to get Page Number:

  

  var widgets = field.getWidgets();
  var widget = (widgets.toArray()[0] as PDAnnotationWidget);
  if (widget != null)
  {
        int pageNo = pages.indexOf(widget.getPage());  
  }

 

 

There is no error, just I am getting pageNo = -1 (as list doesn't contain such page)

But for some fields, list of pages doesn't contain the page which I get from 'widget.getPage()' 

 

Let me know if some more clarification required.
