Question

How to get the coordinates of a text field in adobe acrobat?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Cursor Coordinates you enable by going to menu View -> Show/Hide -> Cursor Coordinates use a different reference from what you see in the Position tab in the field properties.

The Cursor Coordinates show you the coordinates of a point, its (0, 0) is at the top left of the page and they use the same reference and units as the rulers.

The Position property (Position tab) defines the size and placement of a form field based on four numbers (Left, Top, Right, Bottom) and its (0, 0) point is at the bottom left of the page. These four numbers are the same you get accessing the rect JavaScript property for a field, using a script such as this.getField( “fieldname”).rect.
