---------------------------------------------------------------
to get the position the widget annotation associated with the field is relevant
(i.e. the 'pure' field doesn't have a location on a particular page).
The annotation can be retrieved with {{getWidget()}} if there is a single one
or with {{getKids()}} if there are multiple where with 1.8 you'd also need to
check if the kid is an instance of PDField or PDAnnotationWidget.
Now, as you have the widget you can get the page it's on with the dictionaries
{{/P}} entry and the position with the {{/Rect}} entry.
