Get fields in right tabulator order

[GHWels]

Hey,

is it possible to get the PDF Fields (FieldsWidget) in the right tabulator order?

For i As Integer = 0 To _FW.FieldsWidget.List.Count - 1
_Field = _FW.FieldsWidget.List(i)
_FeldType = _Field.ToString
next

Hi GH,

Thanks for your inquiry.
In general, we get the fields in tabulator order.
Do you encounter any issue? Please provide your input PDF and the detailed information along with the order you want for further investigation.

Hi Betsy,

I think the fields come in the order in which I created the fields

Hi GH,

Thanks for your file.
We just checked the order of the fields in PDF tool(PDFPatcher), and our Spire gets the correct corresponding order:

Code: Select all

1.ErstDT 2. RNR 3. Mont_Start 4. Begründung  5. Beschreibung  6. Hinweis  7. Vorleistung  8. Mont_Ende  9. Kostenschätzung

What is your desired order?
Besides, if you want to fill the fields, the better way is filling it according to the name of the field.

Hi GH,

Thanks for waiting.
After further investigation, we found a solution to achieve your target. Please refer to following code:

Code: Select all

       static private List<PdfField> fieldNewList;
        public static void T20012()
        {
            PdfDocument pdf = new PdfDocument();
            pdf.LoadFromFile(filePath + @"Anlage 04 - Regieantrag.pdf");
            PdfFormWidget formWidget = pdf.Form as PdfFormWidget;
            PdfFormFieldWidgetCollection collection = formWidget.FieldsWidget;

            fieldNewList = SetFieldOrderNumber(collection);
            for (int i = 0; i < fieldNewList.Count; i++)
            {
                PdfField PdfFieldfield = fieldNewList[i] as PdfField;

            }
        }
       static   private List<PdfField> SetFieldOrderNumber(PdfFormFieldWidgetCollection collection)
        {
            Dictionary<int, PointF> dictionary = new Dictionary<int, PointF>();
            RectangleF rect = new RectangleF();
            float x, y, height;

            for (int i = 0; i < collection.Count; i++)
            { rect = (collection[i] as PdfStyledFieldWidget).Bounds;
                x = rect.X;
                y = rect.Y;
                height = rect.Height;
                dictionary.Add(i, new PointF(x, y + height));
            }

            return SetFieldOrderNumber(dictionary, collection);
        }

       static private List<PdfField> SetFieldOrderNumber(Dictionary<int, PointF> dictionary, PdfFormFieldWidgetCollection collection)
        {

            System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<int, PointF>> oldList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<int, PointF>>(dictionary);
            System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<int, PointF>> tempList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<int, PointF>>();
            System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<int, PointF>> newList = new System.Collections.Generic.List<KeyValuePair<int, PointF>>();

            oldList.Sort(delegate(KeyValuePair<int, PointF> s1, KeyValuePair<int, PointF> s2)
            {
                return s1.Value.Y.CompareTo(s2.Value.Y);
            }

            );

            List<PdfField> fieldNewList = new List<PdfField>();
            int count = 0;

            while (count < oldList.Count)
            {
                while (true)
                {
                    tempList.Add(oldList[count]);
                    if (count == oldList.Count - 1 || oldList[count].Value.Y != oldList[count + 1].Value.Y)
                    {
                        tempList.Sort(delegate(KeyValuePair<int, PointF> s1, KeyValuePair<int, PointF> s2)
                        { return s1.Value.X.CompareTo(s2.Value.X); }

                        );

                        count++;
                        break;
                    }
                    count++;
                }

                newList.InsertRange(newList.Count, tempList);
                tempList.Clear();
            }

            IList list = collection.List;
            for (int i = 0; i < newList.Count; i++)
            {
                PdfField field = list[newList[i].Key] as PdfField;
                fieldNewList.Add(field);
            }

            return fieldNewList;
        }
