public function GetFormFieldPage( 
    FieldId: Integer
): Integer;

public function GetFormFieldPage( 
   FieldId : int
) : int;

public: int GetFormFieldPage( 
   int FieldId
)

public:
int GetFormFieldPage(

Parameters

FieldId: A unique form field identifier specifying a required form field object. You can obtain this identifier using methods like GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldId, GdPicturePDF.GetFormFieldChildID or methods intended to add form fields.

Return Value

The page number, where the specified form field is located. The GdPicturePDF.GetStat method can be subsequently used to determine if this method has been successful.

Remarks

This method is only allowed for use with non-encrypted documents.

It is recommend to use the GdPicturePDF.GetStat method to identify the specific reason for the method's failure, if any.

Just to inform you, that already added form fields can't be moved between pages.
