[jira] [Commented] (PDFBOX-3332) Apache PDFBox Form Fill TrueType
text spacing issue
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PDFBOX-3332?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15263594#comment-15263594 ]
Tilman Hausherr commented on PDFBOX-3332:
-----------------------------------------
The appearance stream is there but it uses \\312 (decimal 202) for space instead of the classic space. The width of the \\312 space is 750, the one of the classic space is 176.
[~chronosafe] please attach also the template file. I'm wondering whether the 750 space width is from us or was already there.

> I'm using Apache PDFBox to fill a PDF Form. I'm using a TrueType font (not a default font) called 'Impact', pretty standard fare. In the template I have a field called "Title" that has the Impact font assigned. I use the code below to take that template and populate the field with a value that has several words in it.
> The issue is when you view the created PDF there are large spaces between the words. If you open the PDF in Acrobat and click on the field the text alters and the large spacing goes away. Editing the field in any way will permanently correct the issue, but I'm generating the forms to NOT be altered after the fact.
> I've tried the same experiment with the default fonts (Helvetica in this case) and the above issue doesn't exist. I can create a blank form and add a field and set the custom font and duplicate the issue.
> I've read that a similar issue was addressed in 2.0.0, PDFBOX-2062 but it was for changing font size, not a custom font.
