XField Object    

Represents a field in a document.

The PDF specification makes a distinction between a field (in terms of a named value) and the visible appearance of the field on the document.

So not every field has a visible appearance. Those that do can be located using the Page and Rect properties. The value of the field can be modified using the Value property.

Fields exist within a hierarchy. Fields have children and their children can have children in turn. You can drill down through the hierarchy using the Kids property.

Alternatively, given a fully qualified name, you can use the XForm-level methods to obtain references directly.
