[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-1402) Improve handling of multiline text boxes

["Andrew Sengul (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-1402?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13667705#comment-13667705 ] 

Andrew Sengul commented on PDFBOX-1402:
---------------------------------------

Above I uploaded a document to demonstrate the problem with text running off the edge of a fillable field. This document has three multiline fillable fields, titled Text1, Text2 and Text3. If you paste a long text string into one of them, you will see that instead of line-wrapping, the text will just run out of the edge of the field. Will this patch fix the problem?

> The current implementation for setting the appearance of content that is added to a multiline text box is incorrect in a number of ways:
> * Doesn't position the start of the text in the correct location
> * Incorrectly uses font size '0' instead of auto-sizing the font
> * Doesn't break up very long lines
> * If the font size is very large, then the next line is started too close to the previous line.
