Function FornmFieldCount() will give you the number of fields.

Iterate using GetFormFieldBound() to get x,y axis and sizes. Many other "GetFormField..." functions to obtain the other information required. It's all in the documentation.

Hello,

You can use code similar to the code below. GetFormFieldCount will return the total number of formfields located in the PDF. If it is 0 then there are no formfields. You can then use a loop from 1 to FormFieldCount to access each formfield. item 1 is the first formfield, 2 the second ...

for i = 1 to GetFormFieldCount()

{

// use i as the index to the formfields

type = QP.GetFormFieldTpe(i);

x = QP.GetFormFieldBound( i, 1);

y = QP.GetFormFieldBound( i, 2);

title = QP.GetFormFieldTitle(i); // formfield name

value = QP.GetFormFieldValue(i);

There are many other form field functions. Use this link to see them all.
