	Hi Dmirty, my app (made with QP) shows 211 form fields and if i look inside the pdf with Notepad this should be okay. In Foxit and Adobe it looks like 3 separate form fields indeed there are many single fields Perhaps you should post your code snippet how to determine the form fields? Cheers and welcome here, Ingo Edited by Ingo - 18 Nov 14 at 10:27AM
	Cheers, Ingo

	Ingo, thanks for quick response Yes, now I see these fields = 211. So that's my fault. But this parent field (86 items), or it is hidden (page = 0). My application ignores these fields. And after the removal of parental fields I got a new pdf file. File can be downloaded here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vn9nnguu2v2p828/test2.pdf?dl=0 Now really qp.FormFieldCount() = 0 But I see two fields in all pdf viewers Cheers, Dmitry

	Dmitry, The file seems me be malformed and is modified / fixed by Acrobat before the file is displayed. After closing the file You seem to have deleted all of the Form Fields from the AcroForm dictionary. The fields you are seeing are stored as Annotations. The original file looks like a mess internally with lots of empty and or missing objects. You might be better off trying to find an earlier version of the file. Andrew.

	Andrew, "The fields you are seeing are stored as Annotations" - Now I understood. Thanks. But then the question is: How do I find and correct the these fields at AcroForm using QP?
