Update PDF with acrobat form

[Arvind Kumar <ar...@accoliteindia.com.INVALID>]

Hi,

*Version* - Any version with which we can solve the problem.

*Problem-*
We are using AcroForm to update the fillable PDF. We are facing issue when
trying to fill a larger text/data in the available field, Data is getting
hidden due to less space (form filed size).

Could you please suggest some better approach where I can use acroform to
fill the data using java and rows can be shifted based on data available
i.e. form feild size can be adjusted as per data size.

Please find attached image where we are filling data as "*Arvind Kumar
Mishra 1234567899999 xsd test*" on of the acrobat form field but only "*Arvind
Kumar Mishra 1234567899999*" is getting displayed. Remaining data "*  xsd
test *" is not visible.

Could you please help on same. If we can do the same with open source tool,
it would be great, but any suggestion would appreciable. Thanks for the
support.


Best Regards,
Arvind Kumar

Hi,

Each PDField object has one or several widgets which you can get with 
getWidgets(). Then do getRectangle(), adjust its values and call 
setRectangle(). To ensure that the appearance is updated, call 
getValue() and setValue() on the PDField object.

If you need this value to be dynamic, i.e. to be recalculated for every 
value, then you'd have to calculate the length of the string with 
PDFont.getStringWidth("...."). Getting the PDFont is a bit more tricky, 
but if you know your form then have a look to see if it is one of the 
standard 14 type 1 fonts e.g. PDType1Font.HELVETICA. If not, please 
upload your PDF file somewhere because it is not here, binaries are 
deleted. I'd then find or create some code to get the PDFont from the field.
