            if (f != null) {
                PDRectangle r = f.getWidget().getRectangle();
                float llx = r.getLowerLeftX();
                float lly = r.getLowerLeftY();
                float urx = r.getUpperRightX();

use

f.getWidgets().get(0)

to get the first widget of a field. Most of the time there will be only one. There can be several if form fields are "mirrored" (e.g. you enter your name once, but it appears on several pages of a complex form).
