Sorry, it has been about 3 years since I wrote that code. i forget that is my function

    Private Function GetPDFFormFields(ByVal pdfform As String) As String

        Dim pdfformfields As String

        ' create a new PDF reader based on the PDF template document

        Dim PdfReader As PdfReader = New PdfReader(pdfform)


        Dim fieldlist As New ArrayList(PdfReader.AcroFields.Fields.Keys)

        fieldlist.Sort()

        ' create and populate a string builder with each of the 
        ' field names available in the subject PDF
        Dim sb As New StringBuilder()

        'Dim de As New DictionaryEntry
        'For Each de In pdfReader.AcroFields.Fields
        '    sb.Append(de.Key.ToString() + Environment.NewLine)
        'Next


        For i As Integer = 0 To fieldlist.Count - 1
            sb.Append(fieldlist(i).ToString + Environment.NewLine)
        Next
        ' Write the string builder's content to the form's textbox

        pdfformfields = sb.ToString()

        Return pdfformfields
    End Function
