I have code that fills in fields in a PDF form, it works fine.  I can fill
each field, I can align each field as either left or center, THAT works
fine.

I have trouble determining, from the information in the form, when a field
is designated as aligned for center or left (I don't have any need to do
right-align at this time).

The nearest field attribute/characteristic/whatever it is called in
AcroFields I could find was "/Q", though that seems to reference
justification, not alignment.  I wrote code that detects what the value of Q
is and sets alignment according to it, but that doesn't match alignment for
some fields.  

I had fields in this form that used to be centered, the person who maintains
the forms has changed these fields to say they are left-aligned, I can bring
up the form in PDF reader and click in them, and my cursor is left aligned,
but when I read the info for the field, /Q indicates data for the field
indicating it is supposed to be centered.

I can't find where alignment might otherwise be given.  Can someone please
point me to the place, or to a place where the place is explained? To
restate, I want the information on the field in a form to say what alignment
it is supposed to have, and know how to read that in iText so I can put the
same alignment on the field.
